The Story
The Shelby Cobra remains one of the most iconic and sought-after sports cars ever built, with the 427-powered examples representing the ultimate expression of Carroll Shelby’s legendary vision. This 1965 Superformance Cobra was built to mirror CSX3178, Carroll Shelby’s personal 427 Cobra, a car that later achieved global attention when it sold for over $5 million. Capturing the look and spirit of that historically significant Cobra, this example is finished in the stunning original Charcoal Gray color, giving it an unmistakably purposeful and aggressive presence.
This Superformance Cobra is powered by a 427 CI FE engine paired with a 5-speed TKX transmission, delivering the kind of raw performance and thrilling driving experience that made the Cobra a legend. Correct chrome penthouse valve covers add to the authentic engine bay presentation, while 15-inch Sunburst wheels and street car bumpers complete the unmistakable period-correct appearance.
Showing only test miles since completion, this Cobra offers an exceptional opportunity to own a freshly built tribute to one of the most important and valuable Cobras ever created. With its striking specification, legendary inspiration, and virtually unused condition, it is a remarkable blend of performance, heritage and presence.
