Miles Legendary Motorcar is proud to present this Shelby 50th
Anniversary Cobra If you're looking for an opportunity to own a
true Cobra collector car, you won't find a better one than this -
Shelby American built fifty, 50th Anniversary, CSX8000 series,
Shelby Cobra to commemorate the original AC Cobra. These cars were
unveiled at a Barrett Jackson auction in 2011 and the entire
production run sold out within a scant 48 hours. They were sold as
a rolling chassis with either a fiberglass body or with an optional
and very expensive all-aluminum body. Only 50 of these cars were
ever built starting with serial number 8950 and ending at 8999. The
car we are offering is #8976, or #26 in this series. This Cobra is
in virtually showroom new condition and looking brand-new
throughout as it has travelled �534 miles. Like all of Shelby
American's 50th Anniversary models, it is painted black, just like
the original, an amazing non-metallic, solid jet black with a deep
finish, polished to show finish. �The interior features bucket
seats covered with premium red leather, Simpson lap belts and
matching red leather trimmed interior door panels and Wilton wool
carpets. A full set of Stewart Warner instruments compliment the
dash and a wood rimmed steering wheel rounds out the original
feeling interior. This moulded fiberglass car features riveted
aluminum panels inside the trunk, hood compartment and on the
underside of the car, all supported by a Shelby 3 inch tubular
steel frame. �Powered by a 289 cu. in. engine, an all-aluminum Ford
V8 Pedigree Fuel Injected engine with dual stainless full length
exhaust and complimented with Shelby Ribbed Valve covers. A
welcomed update is the rack and pinion steering along with a
5-Speed manual transmission which is connected to a Dana 44
posi-trac rear end. This car also features 4-wheel Baer disc brakes
and brilliant chrome, 72-spoke, knock-off wheels with blackwall
205/65R/15 Firestone precision sport tires. The small details that
add to this cars uniqueness are the Authentic 50 th Shelby badging
and emblems, custom embroidered floor mats and fitted Cobra trunk
liner, chrome bumpers on front and rear with authentic chrome
grill, chrome plated hood and trunk handles, all of which are in
as-new showroom condition. A very rare and unique piece a Shelby
American history. �A wonderful addition to anyone's Shelby
collection and ready to be enjoyed by the next caretaker.
