This Shelby Cobra 427 CSX4000R is one of two R-spec competition models produced.

The car was fitted with a 427ci V8 built by Ernie Elliott and was completed in October 2004.

The 427ci V8 features aluminum cylinder heads as well as a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and have been built by Ernie Elliott.

New oil pump hoses were installed in February 2017 along with valve cover and oil pan gaskets.

A new rear main seal was fitted by Olsen Motorsports in October 2021, and an oil change was also performed at that time.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

A fuel cell was installed in October 2021, and the clutch master cylinder was also disassembled and cleaned.

The carbon-fiber bodywork is finished in blue with white stripes and roundels.

Features include front and rear quick-jack bumperettes, a Monza-style fuel filler cap, a chrome driver-side roll-hoop, a plexiglass windscreen, a functional hood scoop, and a side-exit exhaust system, the latter of which was installed by Custom Cars Unlimited in 2017.

Castrol, Goodyear, Bondurant, Autolite, Koni, and Shelby decals are present on the fenders.

The 15″ Halibrand-style wheels feature painted centers and polished lips as well as three-eared knock-off hubs, and they are mounted with Goodyear Eagle Sports Car Special tires measuring 26.5×8.0” up front and 26.5×10.5” out back.

CSX4007R features a tubular steel chassis with a fully independent suspension and Bilstein coilovers at all four corners.

Braking is handled by four-wheel Brembo disc brakes.

The cockpit features low-back bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery that were installed in April 2017.

Features include a Simpson driver’s harness, a passenger lap belt, a JOES Racing shifter boot, a fire extinguisher, and a diamond-plate steel driver-side floor panel.

The central tunnel is signed by Carroll Shelby, and a tag listing the car’s chassis number is riveted to the dash panel.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Carroll Shelby-branded carbon-fiber-faced instrumentation that includes a 10-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges monitoring oil pressure, water temperature, oil temperature, fuel pressure, and voltage.

The five-digit odometer shows under 4,200 miles.
