Authentic 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Continuation - CSX4948 - Signed by Carroll Shelby
Celebrity Cars is proud to present this authentic 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Continuation, built by Carroll Shelby and Shelby American. The Cobra is arguably the most famous and instantly recognizable sports car in the world, and the CSX 4000 Series 427 S/C is everything the original 1965 cars were - and more.

The result is ferocious power and the 0-60 times under four seconds these cars are legendary for. Equipment includes a Holley carburetor, ceramic-coated side pipes, aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans, oil cooler, Tremec TKO five-speed gearbox, 4-inch round-tube frame, Halibrand-style knockoff wheels on street-legal tires, coil-over suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, Shelby race-quality brakes, stainless rollbar, a correct reverse-winding speedometer, an original-style hardwood steering wheel, and a fiberglass body. Just over 500 miles, dry-climate stored, and in excellent...
