Founder Carroll Shelby introduced an all-new big block version of

　　the race-winning small block Shelby Cobra in January 1965,

　　significantly enhancing its performance. The mighty 427 Shelby

　　Cobra boasted numerous upgrades, including a computer-designed

　　independent suspension, a stronger frame, voluptuous bodywork, and

　　a powerful engine. It surpassed the 289 roadster in every aspect of

　　speed and capability.

　　In 1996, Shelby American revived the production of big block Shelby

　　Cobras, and one standout example is CSX4319. Completed in 2005,

　　this aluminum-bodied CSX4000 series roadster was expertly crafted

　　by Shelby specialists at McCluskey Ltd. Adorned in anniversary

　　blue, it features polished quick jacks, a roll bar, and Shelby

　　Cobra badges on the nose and trunk.

　　CSX4319 showcases impressive features such as resonant ceramic

　　coated side pipes, 15" Halibrand-style knock-off wheels with AVON

　　Tires, Wilwood disc brakes, and coil covers. Powering this beast is

　　a 462 C.I.D. Kroyer racing engine built with genuine Shelby parts,

　　along with a TWM throttle body fuel injection system and Motec

　　controller. The big block Ford V8 engine delivers power through a

　　David Kee aluminum top loader transmission to an OEM-style alloy

　　differential unit housing 3:31 gears. The suspension was upgraded

　　with AP front and rear brake calipers, as well as period-correct

　　vented rotors for SC 427 spec cars.

　　The wood-rimmed steering wheel complements the Smith and Lucas

　　gauges. As a 'Semi-Competition' model, it forgoes the

　　streetcar-inspired glove box. CSX4319 even includes the optional

　　tonneau cover.

　　Shelby Cobra CSX4319 has only 997 miles on the odometer, is titled

　　as a 1965 in California, and is currently available for purchase at

　　$349,950.
