The Story

$2a

$2b

This exceptional 1967 Shelby Cobra 427 now offered is one of the best original examples in the world with only 18,036 miles from new and is one of the few still bearing its original paint, original interior, original chassis, original body and original engine, as well as the original transmission and rear end. It still retains many features that are often lost to time or restoration. These include the warning sticker on the speedometer, its Beclawat windshield badge, weatherstripping, heater hoses, fuse-box cover, foot box heat shield, Serck radiator tag, original Sunburst wheels with an original set of ultra-rare and original Goodyear Blue Dot tires, to name a few. The chassis number is hand-etched onto its original Shelby American foot-box tag, frame stamp, hood, doors, trunk latch and the transmission tunnel. The Cobra is accompanied by its chassis instruction manual, grease gun, jack, tool kit, jack handles, top bows, soft top and tonneau cover.

This special Cobra still wears its original red paint and original black leather interior. This is one of the rare ones to have never been modified in any way. Displaying just over 18,000 original miles, this Cobra represents a unique opportunity to acquire an extremely original, pure example that was judged in a national SAAC convention in survivor class—a class for only original-paint, unrestored cars, and achieved "SAAC Gold" status by the world's most knowledgeable Cobra scrutineers. There is no doubt it is certainly in the top 5 best original, never-restored examples of a 427 Cobra anywhere. The 427 Cobra is one of history’s most iconic cars, and it must be considered one of the most compelling 427 Street Cobras in existence.
