1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster

    By late in 1963, the leaf spring 289 Cobra roadster was losing its supremacy on the racetrack. A so-called MKII was developed powered by a 390 cubic-inch Ford FE motor but it didn't work. The MKIII featured a whole new coil spring chassis-designed with Ford's help topped by a wide fender roadster body with a gaping radiator opening to help cool the massive Ford 427 'side oiler' motor now installed. Production began in January of 1965 and approximately 300 cars were built to include a number of competition versions, some thirty-one of which remained unsold until they were de-tuned and made street legal. These cars were subsequently labeled 'SC' for 'semi-competition.'
