1965 SHELBY COBRA CSX 8000 ROADSTER

This Shelby American continuation Cobra, CSX8039, was completed with special attention to period authenticity by Shelby Parts and Restoration in Green Bay, WI. The silver with red interior is a striking color combo that looks as timeless today as it did in 1965. The fully restored and rebuilt 1963-dated 5-bolt HiPo 289ci engine came from an original CSX2000 Cobra that was converted into a race car many years ago. The engine includes an all-original small-letter Cobra intake manifold with HiPo carburetor, early valve covers with Stellings and Hellings polished breathers, Cobra Powered by Ford 'roadster' pan, Cobra 5-bolt cast-steel scattershield, FoMoCo C3 dual point and original 3-hump chrome high-performance air cleaner. The 4-speed BorgWarner T10L is all new aluminum T10 case and tail with micro-polished internals and an original Ford shifter mechanism, proper handle and knob. The Auto Meter gauges were swapped out for original-style Smiths black background gauges. Headlights are Lucas PL Tri-Bar. Wind wings were also swapped for original-style Cobra logo wind wings. An original Raydyot script mirror is used on the outside. The car also comes with two tonneau covers; one in black and one in red.
