1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4000 V8
Description
This Shelby Cobra CSX4000 is finished in silver with black stripes over black leather upholstery, and its 427ci side-oiler V8 is paired with a five-speed manual transmission.
The 427ci side-oiler V8 has been serviced by Grubbs Motorsports & Collision, which included replacing the fuel pump in 2020 as well as changing the oil and tuning the carburetor in early 2022.
An aluminum fuel tank has replaced the previous rubber-lined component.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a Salisbury limited-slip differential with a 3.31:1 final-drive ratio.
The fiberglass bodywork is finished in Titanium Silver with Diamond Black stripes.
Features include a chrome-finished roll hoop, bumperettes, and side pipes.
Aluminum 15″ Trigo pin-drive wheels are mounted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T white-letter tires.
The car was built with Baer disc brakes.
The interior features bucket seats with black leather upholstery, and matching carpeting covers the floors.
The doors are equipped with map-pocket nets.
A CSX plaque is affixed to the transmission tunnel, and Carroll Shelby’s signature decorates the glovebox door.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Shelby-branded instrumentation that includes a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and five auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows just under 1,300 miles.
