This car, CSX 3021, is one of only two Cobras ever finished in Hertz Gold. It was finished in March 1965, but Shelby-American was unable to find a buyer right away. in August of 1966, this Cobra was ordered by Dick Walters Ford. This 427 S/C was put on display in his showroom, where it stayed for some time. In 1967, a deal was struck between J.D. Ball Ford, Dick Walters Ford and Bill Turner, whereby Mr. Turner would trade in his 1966 Pontiac GTO Factory Lightweight as a partial exchange for the Cobra. The S/C cost $9,500.
The car is the only 427 S/C in the hands of its original owner and an extraordinary original documented example. Power is from a 427 cubic-inch overhead valve V8 engine fitted with dual 4-barrel Holly carburetors. The engine is capable of producing over 500 horsepower. There is a four-speed top-loader manual gearbox, four-wheel Girling disc brakes, and four-wheel adjustable independent suspension with coil springs and tubular shock absorbers. The car has its original invoice from J.D. Ball Ford, old vehicle registrations, the checkbook used to pay the 48 installments, the original 1967 Florida title and letters from Shelby American addressed to this Cobra's one and only owner, Mr. William Turner.
In 2010, this car was offered for sale at Gooding & Company's Scottsdale Auction in Arizona. The 175car was estimated to sell for $1,800,000 - $2,500,000. The lot was sold for the sum of $1,028,500, inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2010
