Description
A true American icon, the Shelby American CSX4000 427 Cobra!
1965 - 200km - P.O.A
M.C.C. proudly brings to market a seldomly seen and a true masterpiece, our 50th Anniversary Shelby American CSX continuation 427 S/C.
Not any ordinary 50th Anniversary, but a 1 of 10 polished aluminium example.
Introduced in 2015 to celebrate 50 years of the legendary 1965 Shelby American 427 S/C, these vehicles were quicky sweeped up by collectors and rarely come back to market. Of the 10 examples finished with the Polished Aluminium body, 3 managed to cross the pond.
Our example is number 24/50 and is registered as a 1965 model year.
As well as running a matching aluminum FE 468 CID, 550 HP Shelby engine.
Last but not least, she is entered in the CSX4000 registry.
A true opportunity not to miss, as well as a great long term asset.
