This Shelby Cobra is one of just 14 CSX1000 continuation models produced by Shelby American and AC Cars during the early-to-mid 2000s. The car, chassis CSX1006, was ordered new in December 2004.
Delivered in February 2006, it features a hand-formed aluminum body finished in Le Mans Blue with Wimbledon White stripes.
Power comes from a “Carroll Shelby Signature Series” V8 engine, which displaces 468 cubic inches and features an aluminum FE block, aluminum cylinder heads, forged connecting rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, and a hydraulic lifter camshaft.
The car is also equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, Salisbury differential, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, knock-off wheels, side pipes, black leather upholstery, Shelby-branded instrumentation, and a driver’s roll hoop.
Aluminum bodywork was hand formed by AC Cars of the UK and is finished in Le Mans Blue with Wimbledon White racing stripes.
Features include side pipes with Cobra-branded heat shields, plexiglass wind wings, a single roll hoop, a Raydot-style aluminum side mirror, and Shelby badging.
Halibrand-style 15″ knock-off wheels feature painted centers and are mounted with Goodyear Eagle GT II tires sized 235/60 up front and 295/50 out back.
Disc brakes are fitted at all four corners and utilize Shelby-branded calipers over cross-drilled and slotted rotors.
The cockpit is upholstered in black leather and features matching-color carpets.
Equipment includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Simpson safety harnesses, plexiglass sun visors, and Cobra-branded floor mats.
The dashboard was signed by Carroll Shelby and is fitted with a plaque identifying the car as CSX1006.
A fire extinguisher is located on the center tunnel, between the seats.
Shelby-branded instrumentation from AutoMeter includes a 180-mph, reverse-sweep speedometer along with an 8k-rpm tachometer and gauges for oil temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level.
Approximately 1,700 miles are shown on the five-digit odometer.
