An exclusive 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra CSX3195 through a 10-day online auction beginning February 3, 2023. The Shelby Cobra is one of the world’s most recognizable cars, and this one has been widely documented. While 343 Shelby Cobras were built 427, not all 427 Cobras are equal — there were variations for the street, competition, and the combination of the two (semi-competition or “S/C”). There also was the Dragon Snake drag car and the Super Snake, a supercharged S/C. This 1966 Shelby Cobra CSX3195 for auction is a street version that, at some point along the way, was updated to S/C specs. According to the selling dealer, it has been driven by Carroll Shelby, and owned and track-driven by Jim Farley, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company.
The sale includes the following items:
- Owner’s manual
- Mac Archer’s racing logbook with entries spanning 1985-2006 and tracks including Road America, Laguna Seca, and Watkins Glen
- Reportedly original speedometer/odometer that shows approximately 14,000 miles
- Black Halibrand wheels with racing tires
- Racing windscreen
- Original 1966 seats that were in the car when Mac Archer competed in it
- Jim Farley’s racing seats and personalized car cover
- Tool roll
- Driving gloves
- Books, magazines, and a calendar that feature CSX3195
This Shelby 427 Cobra CSX3195 will run on AutoHunter.com until February 13, 2023.
