1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster

  • Chassis Number: CSX 3021
This car debuted in the United States touring along with a GT40 Carroll Shelby was promoting at the time. Serial number 3021 was purchased from its original owner in 2009. This well-documented 3,800-mile Cobra is the first of 29 SC's produced in the mid-Sixties and one of only two painted Hertz Gold.

Weighing just over 2300 pounds and producing close to 500 horsepower, the horsepower-to-weight ratio, along with suspension and handling improvements from Shelby, had a profound effect on sports car racing and the 'Muscle Car' era in general.
