Description
The original 289 Shelby Cobras are among the most iconic cars ever built. The creation of racing legend Carroll Shelby, the Cobra was introduced in 1962 and produced through 1967. The short run of Cobras led Shelby American to create the continuation series, a modern day build of the classic Cobra. The car on offer is one such example, a true continuation car built by Shelby American, bearing the serial number CSX 8001.
The story of this Cobra…
The original 289 Shelby Cobras are among the most iconic cars ever built. The creation of racing legend Carroll Shelby, the Cobra was introduced in 1962 and produced through 1967. The short run of Cobras led Shelby American to create the continuation series, a modern day build of the classic Cobra. The car on offer is one such example, a true continuation car built by Shelby American, bearing the serial number CSX 8001.
The story of this Cobra began when the original owner, Bob Kennedy, of Phoenix, Arizona, found a 1965 Ford 289 K-code engine. He personally contacted Carroll Shelby and gave him a blank check to build an aluminum bodied “slab side” 289 Cobra. After a 22-month build process, CSX 8001 was delivered in late 2002. CSX 8001 became the first in a small series of continuation 289 cars, all of which are highly desirable in today’s market. The car offered here is one of a small handful of cars built with an aluminum body, whereas most examples were bodied in fiberglass, making this a highly special example of the legendary 289 Cobra.
