1965 Shelby Cobra

Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX9150 Aerodynamics makes the difference in racing, and that was especially true in international sports car competition during the 1960s. Brutally quick as it was, the Shelby Cobra roadster lacked the aerodynamics needed to win on fast European tracks. That is why Carroll Shelby commissioned Peter Brock to create a slick coupe body for the car using the same rule that led to the Ferrari 250 GTO. The Shelby Cobra Daytona promptly began winning races worldwide. Only six were built, leading Shelby American to capture the USA's only FIA sports car world championship. The CSX9000 series car is a modern update of the car that ruled the track in 1965. Penned by original designers Peter Brock and Bob Negstad, the car features a tough composite body with show quality paint. The Daytona features a tubular space frame constructed of mild steel, a fully independent suspension front and rear with coil over progressive shocks and springs and a limited slip differential. Four-wheel vented disc brakes with power assisted calipers help stop the car while a power assisted rack and pinion steering provides sharp handling. CSX9150 is a striking, classic take on a Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. The Dark Silver Metallic Paint with the Tan Leather and Alcantara Interior throws back to the the English heritage of the cobra. Elegant yet purposeful with a vintage 1960s competition layout, including toggle switches for key functions. Modern updates include air conditioning, power locks, bolstered sport seats with Shelby logo, and Shelby door sill trim. Under the front-hinged hood exposes the heart beat of this Daytona. A Rush 427SR making 520HP and 540TQ mated to a 6 Speed Manual Tremec Transmission and sent to an aluminum ZF Differential. Functional hood vents carry away excess heat and add to the distinctive nature of the car. 2025 is the 60th anniversary of the Daytona's championship season. There's no better way to celebrate that milestone than behind the wheel of CSX9150. CSX9150 has only 2,900 miles and is now listed for $199,950.
