This Shelby Cobra is a CSX6000 continuation model that was delivered as a rolling chassis by Shelby American in 2012 to DenBeste Motorsports and was subsequently fitted with an aluminum 482ci FE V8 mated to a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential equipped with 3.54:1 gearing.
The aluminum 482ci FE V8 have been built with a stroker crankshaft, Cloyes true double roller timing set, a custom hydraulic roller camshaft, forged H-beam connecting rods, and Mahle pistons.
Additional features include a Shelby dual-plane intake manifold, aluminum cylinder heads, a billet pulley and bracket system, an MSD distributor and ignition coil, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor housed within an aluminum “turkey pan”.
Fluids were serviced in preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential equipped with 3.54:1 gearing.
The Shelby plaque mounted to the transmission tunnel denotes this car as a CSX6000 continuation example with serial number CSX6085.
The fiberglass body is finished in black over black leather upholstery and features include a roll-hoop, quick-jack bumperettes, side exhaust pipes, an MSD ignition system, aluminum cylinder heads, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor as well as an adjustable coilover suspension system, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ pin-drive wheels, Shelby-branded instrumentation, and Simpson harnesses.
The fiberglass bodywork is mounted to a tube-frame chassis and is finished in black.
Equipment includes a chrome roll-hoop, a hood scoop, a Lemans-style fuel cap, quick-jack bumperettes, wind wings, and side-exit exhaust pipes.
Staggered-width 15″ Shelby-style Trigo wheels are mounted with knock-off spinners and wear Goodyear Eagle tires with white lettering.
The car is fitted with adjustable coilovers at all four corners, and stopping power is provided by dual-piston Shelby four-wheel disc brakes.
The bucket seats are trimmed in black leather and joined by a matching dash cover and door panels.
Equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, Simpson harnesses, toggle switches for vehicle functions, tinted sun visors, black carpeting, dual Optima batteries behind the passenger seat, and dual electric fuel pumps mounted in the trunk.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a Shelby American-branded 8k-rpm tachometer and a 180-mph speedometer as well as gauges for water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage.
The five-digit odometer shows 33 miles.
