This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica is likely one of the most interesting cars you're going to come across.  It's a true performance build that is said to have multiple direct links to Carroll Shelby.  And it also has a powerful V8, well-balanced style, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes to be a true power driver.  This car has all the right standard Cobra features you love, like the widely flared fenders, hood scoop, race bumpers, and growling side pipes.  Plus, the genuine Halibrand magnesium wheels with knock-off center hubs really make this worthy of the icon.  But there's plenty of uniqueness on display here, too. After all, blue is a great Cobra color, but we rarely see it paired with golden stripes.  It's all quite striking, but nothing here is too fancy from keeping you from hitting the racetrack.  And that uniqueness and race-ready attitude are quite right for this one.  The story that we are told is that this is a Steve Arntz replica, and he was a designer for Carroll Shelby who really started the movement for new fiberglass builds as early as the 1970s.  And the engineer on the project is said to be Ron Butler.  He was a crew chief when the Ford GT40 had its historic 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of LeMans.  So this is a distinct car with a possibly unbeatable pedigree.   The black interior has the simple and purposeful style you want in a Cobra.  Low-back bucket seats, toggle switches, a sports steering wheel, and full classic Stewart Warner readouts engage your driver senses.  There are nice details like the upholstered door panels and back.  But just like the exterior, nothing ever gets in the way of a true driver.  You even have nice additions like the wind wings and strong diamond plate floor on the driver's side.    When you open the hood you see one of the best features of an Arntz car.  He pushed the engine as far back as he could to get the mass behind the front axle.  This is a Chevy small block, and it's said to be a 350 unit enlarged to a 406 cubic-inch motor.  It also has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Torker intake, and headers feeding into those growling side pipes.  It is supported by good pieces, including Chevy's stout three-speed automatic transmission and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan.  As you look underneath, you can also see more of the well-engineered details, like a strong square-tube chassis and the Jaguar independent rear end with dual QA1 coilovers.  And the four-wheel disc brakes even have an inboard rear set thanks to the Jag suspension.    Power, distinction, and history can all be yours with this Shelby replica...but only if you're quick enough to grab this Cobra. Call now!

/font size = "4"40th Anniversary 427 S/C Cobra Limited production, #18 of 40 Aluminum body 427 C.I. Aluminum engine,  550 HP  Powerful, lightweight, and an American icon, the Shelby 427 Cobra was the brainchild of sports car builder Carroll Shelby. While the original CSX3000 series of 427 Cobras ended production in 1967, the insatiable appetite for Cobras from the public around the world did not. During this time, many companies tried to make similar examples using Shelby's tried-and-true formula of lightweight cars with massively powerful engines but were never true Shelby Cobras. Then in 1996, almost three decades after the last original 427 Cobra rolled off the production line, the new CSX4000 series was born. Now offered by Shelby American, Inc., no Cobra kit manufacturer could offer what the American company now produced: True Shelby authenticity.  CSX4000 series cars were offered in both fiberglass and aluminum-bodied forms, with the aluminum examples being rare, almost doubling the purchase price of the car due to their labor-intensive hand-formed panels. These Shelby Cobras were delivered to authorized dealers as rolling chassis for the final fitment of the engine and transmission, allowing the new owner to choose a power plant and transmission of their choice.  Since 1962, when Carroll Shelby built the first Cobra, many companies have tried to make a copy of this iconic sports car. Most are offered in kit form, and the customer is left to assemble or build the car themselves. Beginning in the late 1990s, Carroll himself decided that he would produce a continuation Cobra, featuring a hand-crafted aluminum body, 4-inch round tube chassis, and many of the same mechanical components as the original 427 Cobras had. In 2002, Carroll Shelby authorized a run of 40 CSX 4000 Cobras to be produced with special features to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Cobra. This car is #18 of only 40 anniversary Cobras produced.  Exterior features include special "Anniversary Blue" paint, street bumpers with overrides sun visors, wind wings, chrome roll bar, ceramic coated side pipes, and a cooling splitter in the grille opening.  Interior features include leather seats and dash, 40th-anniversary commemorative gauges and floor mats, door pockets, glove box (signed by Carroll Shelby), heater/defroster, ashtray, lighter, and shoulder belts.  The drivetrain consists of an all-aluminum 427 big block engine mated to a big shaft Top Loader 4-speed transmission. The independent rear differential features an aluminum center section housing 3.54:1 gears.  Included with the car is the original M.S.O. signed by Carroll Shelby, build photos, and receipts.  The Shelby CSX cars are the only Cobras to be licensed by Shelby American and are documented and included in the Shelby American Automobile Club World Registry.  This 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 has been meticulously cared for and recently underwent significant maintenance and upgrades. In August 2022, the fuel system received a thorough overhaul, with the fuel cell inspected and fuel cell foam replaced by Fuel Safe, a carburetor rebuild, and the installation of a new fuel pressure gauge and filter.  Upon arriving at Canepa, the cobra was inspected from front to back and given a checklist of what items needed to be addressed. The car was given a full mechanical inspection and servicing as needed, then sent to our detailing department where it was given a full detailing. The blue paint finish was polished using only foam pads to bring a deep luster to the surface. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, leaving it spotless and in excellent condition.  This Cobra is not just a collector's dream; it's a remarkable driving experience with a blend of classic charm and modern reliability. Don't miss the opportunity to own this iconic American muscle car.  The wait for a new CSX Cobra is over two years. This one is serviced and ready to enjoy!
