Vehicle Description
On rare occasions, we have an opportunity to uncover a significant
piece of car history. This is one of those occasions. You're
looking at one of the first 75 Shelby Cobras ever built - a CSX2000
street car. < /br>< /br>This 1962 Shelby is well
documented in the Shelby registry and the owner is more than happy
to share the VIN with qualified buyers. The Shelby Cobra was
manufactured in 1962 and was professionally restored in 1997 at the
direction of the current owner. < /br>< /br>The
original equipment 260 C. I. Windsor block V-8 was replaced by a
solid lifter 289 C. I., as were most "slab side" Cobras. Correct
Weber carbs and manifold have been fitted, but the original 4 bbl
carb and manifold will go with the sale. The original aluminum case
T10 Borg Warner transmission and correct Salisbury type rear axle,
with outboard brakes, are still on the car as well as the Girling
calipers and Lucas electrical components. The factory roll bar,
under car exhaust, and chrome hoop front bumper are also original.
< /br>< /br>This car was built shortly after Carroll
Shelby introduced the Cobra and is identical to the original
CSX2001, except for it's color (see LINK). < /br><
/br>It has been well cared for, and currently sits in the
air-conditioned living room of the owner's home. It is driven
sparingly, and only on sunny days. This rare Shelby is no trailer
queen, and begs to be driven. < /br>< /br>For Shelby
Cobra enthusiasts it would be difficult, nearly impossible, to get
better than this! This car is located in the Pacific Northwest.<
