If you love Shelby Cobra and have a lot of money to spend on cars, we have some good news. The most radical factory Shelby Cobra out there is coming up for auction.
CSX 3015 is the only surviving Cobra 427 Super Snake assembled by Shelby American, according to Barrett-Jackson, the auction house is planning to sell the car during the event in Scottsdale, Arizona, in March 2021. The only other example, CSX 3303, was destroyed when it was launched from a cliff into the Pacific Ocean, killing its owner.
It’s easy to see why people consider the 427 Super Snake the last Cobra. The normal 427 cubic inch V-8, already a little too powerful for the chassis, is not equipped with one, but two Paxton supercompressors in the Super Snake specification. Sending power to the rear wheels is a three-speed automatic transmission. We’re sure this thing is a handful behind the wheel. It also looks menacing.
This particular Cobra started out as a factory 427 competition model – one of 23 built in 1965 – before being transformed into a Super Snake in 1967. It remains in original good condition, with its original engine block, body panels, brake calipers, rear end, and exhaust system.
The car was recently sold at an auction in 2015 for $ 5.1 million. Before that, he changed hands in 2007 for $ 5.5 million. So, if you want to get your hands on it, be prepared to shell out a lot of money.
