This is a unique and exceptional collectable quality vehicle. This is the only Shelby 80th Birthday Phantom Cobra built.

Lenny Kravitz drove it in Nashville, TN. A portion of the sale proceeds will be donated to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. A special 80th Birthday Plaque has been autographed by Carroll Shelby as #1 Phantom and comes with the car as does all the trophies it has won this past year. There will never be another #1 Red 80th Birthday Shelby Phantom Cobra. Registered in the Shelby World Registry as Carroll Shelby's 80th Birthday Cobra. A Cobra is painted into each front fender. Carroll's signature is on the nose of the hood and is clear coated into the finish. The dash is also autographed by Carroll Shelby. This is a concourse pedigree.
