1967 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster

  • Chassis Number: CSX 3045
The Cobra, chassis CSX 3045, was invoiced to Shelby American on February 23, 1965, and it was completed to S/C specification, under work order number 15103. On April 21, 1966, Shelby American received an order for an S/C model complete with a modified race exhaust system. It was delivered to a Mr. Hall, on May 31st. The next recorded owner, Peter Bayer, acquired the car as payment for promotional work done on behalf of dealer Larsen Ford, of White Plains, New York, and he was the first to register this car, in 1967. Doug Carsen, of Pennsylvania, is believed to have raced this car in several SCCA events, before becoming the next owner.

John Parlante, of Whitestone, New York, began some restoration work on the car in the mid-1970s prior to passing it to Geoff Howard in 1978. Howard completed the work, including the Guardsman Blue paint scheme. It was offered for sale a year later and advertised as having just 10,500 miles. The advertisement also stated it had a fresh restoration, all competition options, and polished Halibrands. The car was purchased by Jere Clark, of Phoenix, Arizona who installed Arizona plate 427 S/C, and went vintage racing.

Ownership later passed to George Stauffer, of Blue Mounds, Wisconsin in the early 1980s. By 1986, it was in the care of Carl Schwartz, of Grand Blanc, Michigan, which was followed by ownership by John Mozart from 1988 onward. Mr. Mozart treated the car to a full restoration.

Ownership changed again in early 1995. In 1998, it was Gold at the SAAC Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, plus Best Cobra and Best Comp Cobra at SAAC in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1999, in addition to many regional SAAC Show First Place awards.

Just 29 examples of the Shelby 427 Semi-Competition Cobras were built.
