Commissioned by Carroll Shelby, the CSX4000 Continuation Series by Shelby American retains the essence of the iconic 427 Cobras while incorporating a stronger steel frame, improved alloys, enhanced cooling, and additional heat shielding for greater safety and drivability without sacrificing its original character. Reproduced with authentic CSX chassis numbers, this continuation model is #4250 and was completed on July 26, 2002, before its initial delivery to S/C Motorsports of Mustang, Oklahoma. Presented in metallic blue, it pairs a David Kee 4-speed Toploader manual transmission with its 427ci V8 stroked to displace 482ci. This two-owner example has been meticulously maintained and stored inside a climate-controlled garage. Showing approximately 5k miles, it is now offered for auction out of California with a Shelby American Statement of Origin along with a 2011 calendar and V8 Magazine featuring the car.

This Shelby Cobra is finished in a metallic shade of blue bisected by white race stripes and removable #5 decals. Details include chrome quick jack bumpers, a bullet-style driver’s side mirror, a chrome roll hoop, side exhaust pipes, wind wings, and a Le Mans-style fuel cap. It rides on 15” Halibrand-style wheels with knock-off spinners and new Avon Racing radial tires. Additional images are provided in the gallery.

The cabin is outfitted with low-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather and matching Wilton wool carpets. Equipment includes Simpson race harnesses, a Shelby wood-rimmed steering wheel, Shelby-branded instrumentation, sun visors, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a fire extinguisher mounted to the transmission tunnel ahead of the shifter. Additionally, a Shelby American plaque with Carroll Shelby’s signature adorns the dashboard. All gauges and accessories are confirmed to be working properly.

Power is derived from a Ford V8 engine stroked to displace 482ci, driving the rear wheels through a David Kee 4-speed Toploader manual transmission. Other equipment includes an MSD electronic ignition system, Taylor ignition wires, a Shelby-branded intake manifold and valve covers, and a Pro Systems four-barrel carburetor housed within an aluminum “turkey pan” topped with a K&N filter. It also features a Shelby-branded aluminum radiator with pusher and puller electric cooling fans, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel independent suspension with QA1 adjustable coilovers. The disc brakes have been equipped with upgraded Baer racing-style calipers over drilled and slotted rotors at each corner, along with added Wilwood parking brake calipers. A host of service documents will accompany the sale.

This sale will include a clean title, a Shelby American Statement of Origin, a 2011 calendar & V8 Magazine featuring the vehicle, and additional documentation. 

The seller would like you to know: "This car has been meticulously maintained, rarely driven, runs and drives perfectly, sounds fantastic, and has plenty of power. Garage and climate control kept, starts on the first turn, no issues to report."
