Shelby Cobra 427 S/C – CSX4416, Aluminum Body, 427 V8, Tremec 5-Speed, 1,979 Miles

Some cars have a reputation that precedes them into every room. The Cobra 427 S/C is one of them. Carroll Shelby built it to beat Ferrari and embarrass the Corvette, and it did both. There's never been anything quite like it, and there probably never will be.

CSX4416 is a continuation Cobra from the CSX4000 series, built to authentic 427 S/C specifications and carrying just 1,979 miles. It's been driven, but barely. Everything about this car is exactly as it should be.

The car
Aluminum body, Le Mans stripe package, chrome roll bar, side pipes with headers, and 15-inch Halibrand-style pin-drive wheels. The stance is pure 1960s competition muscle, compact, low, aggressive, and instantly recognizable from a hundred yards away. This is not a car that needs explaining to anyone who knows cars. A Shelby Certificate of Authenticity is included, along with Belgian Oldtimer registration dated 1965.

The chassis is the correct original-style 4-inch round tube frame with .120 wall thickness and a 90-inch wheelbase. Four-wheel independent suspension with dual A-arms and coil-overs, rack and pinion steering, and Baer disc brakes with Shelby-engraved calipers. Every major component was either factory-spec or factory option.

Under the hood
A 427 S/C V8 producing somewhere between 450 and 500 horsepower, paired with a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual. The drivetrain runs through a Shelby aluminum differential housing with Dana 44 gears at a 3.54 ratio. A 4-core aluminum radiator and a 23-gallon fuel cell round out the mechanical picture.

The car weighs just under 1,100 kilograms. Do the math on that power-to-weight ratio and you'll understand why people talk about these cars the way they do. The big-block through those side pipes sounds like nothing else on the road.

The interior
Correct S/C dashboard layout with Signature Series Autometer gauges. A 15-inch original-style wood-rim steering wheel, leather seats, full carpeting, wind wings, sun visors and windshield wipers. Street interior options were specified at build, including a glove box and side mirrors. The cockpit is faithful to the competition spec without being uncomfortable. It's a car you can actually use.

Documentation and registration
Belgian Oldtimer registration is in place, dated 1965, with full paperwork. A Shelby Certificate of Authenticity is included confirming CSX4416 as a genuine CSX4000-series continuation. This car is offered under our consignment program on behalf of its current owner.
