Details

Wearing the FIA fender flairs, cut-back doors and finished in polished aluminum, this continuation CSX 7000 Series Cobra was handpicked by Carroll Shelby for his personal collection. This car, CSX7049, is motivated by a 427ci V8 engine sporting a Holley 4-barrel carburetor sending power to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 427 breathes through a set of white-painted side-exit exhaust pipes. For suspension, the Cobra features a 4-wheel independent suspension with A-arms, transverse leaf and tubular shocks. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel hydraulic brakes, and the Cobra’s wheelbase is only 90 inches. CSX7049 features a braced-chrome paperclip roll bar, an 8,000 rpm tachometer, a quick-fill fuel cap and knock-off wheels. The polished aluminum finish is paired with black leather upholstery. Accompanying this Cobra is Shelby American’s Statement of Origin signed by Carroll Shelby himself. From The Sam Pack Collection.
