Shelby 50th Anniversary Cobra

by Michael Satterfield

The 50th Anniversary Carroll Shelby Cobra Roadster CSX8000 Series is one of my favorite of the modern Cobras. One of 50 made, all of them in the stunning combo of Black and Oxblood Leather. This particular design is from the original 1962 design, with only a few factory options and  improvements over and above the original, including a stronger steel frame and better alloys utilized in the components, improving cooling and additional heat shield, superior brakes, and rack & pinion steering. I photographed this car at the Shelby Bash Kick-Off party earlier this year.
