Description

Now available for purchase is a classic icon of American automotive design, a 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4806. This exceptional vehicle is powered by a Shelby aluminum 427 cubic inch FE engine, which has been bored and stroked to 468 cubic inches. The powerhouse V8, mated to a Ford big spline top loader 4-speed manual transmission, delivers an exhilarating and authentic driving experience that embodies the spirit of this legendary sports car. The Cobra’s build number is CSX4860, and the car was constructed in 2008. Remarkably, it has been sparingly used since its completion, with only 380 original miles on the clock. The raw power of this machine is evident in its performance figures, with the engine dyno-tested to produce 575 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque. The engine was professionally built and fine-tuned at Goodwin Competition, a renowned engine builder. The meticulous attention to detail during this process included full machining, balancing, and blueprinting, ensuring optimum performance and reliability. The powerplant includes a range of high-quality components, such as a Carroll Shelby Engines aluminum block, aluminum cylinder heads, an aluminum intake manifold, and a remote oil filter adaptor. The engine alone, with all its high-performance enhancements, represents an investment of over $31,000. Further enhancing its performance, this Shelby Cobra is equipped with a McCleod dual performance clutch for smooth gear changes, and an independent rear suspension, contributing to exceptional handling characteristics. The exterior of this Cobra is stunning in blue, adorned with the classic white racing stripes – a signature Shelby Cobra feature. This timeless color scheme enhances the car’s muscular contours and nods to its racing heritage. The interior, finished in black, is a perfect match to the vibrant exterior, providing a sporty and minimalist environment that places the focus on the driving experience. The car rides on gray knock-off wheels, a nod to the original Cobra design, shod with Goodyear Eagle tires for excellent grip and handling. In conclusion, this 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4806, with a mere 380 miles logged, is an exceptional representation of one of America’s most iconic sports cars. With its high- performance engine, meticulous tuning, and classic design, it presents a rare opportunity for discerning automotive collectors and Shelby enthusiasts alike.
