$3.75 Million for 1967 Cobra on Ebay

[Bxx1]

Carroll Shelby's Personal Pick To Be Number One!!

This is the first SC 427 Cobra built!! CSX-3021 was Carroll's personal pick to represent Shelby America and traveled with a GT-40 in the Cobra Caravan across the USA! This is the first of only two gold Cobra's built. This car has 3,800 original one owner miles!! This car is original, except for one repaint. Original, right down to the tires! This is the car that sold in January and is now being made available due to an up and coming investment opportunity. This car is being offered with the original one owner title, as well as original payment book and dealer purchase order. This is the opportunity to own not only the first SC Cobra, but we feel the BEST SC Cobra.

This car is a very RARE opportunity and very serious investment. Please treat this auction accordingly. Time will not be wasted on games and speculation.

If you want the opportunity to own the best, then the time is now!

Please email questions and intent. All funds will be verified. I am representing this car for the investor who purchased it in January but wishes to remain private and has asked me to provide for him the opportunity for this car to be purchased.

My feedback speaks for itself. And this car speaks for itself.

Didn't this come up a week or so ago ?

[elmariachi]

I might be interested, but I'd have to test drive it a few times first.

Seriously, I saw that when it was listed and its a beautiful car. Good luck with finding it a new home.

I wonder how many miles the new owner put on it before getting buyer's remorse?

[RedBarchetta]

Nuts out...glad I made the change.



Beautiful car. But with that FE, at close to $4mm it's tough to buy a car that leaks oil.

Agreed, but beautiful enough that you'd paint yours that color if you were in primer trying to decide on which original color?

No. I'd go with the factory red. I saw this car late last year. He drove to C&C-Irvine from Beverly Hills. All original car with Weber'd FE. See the little spot on the front fender? That's my drool.

So I have a question then...

If this is the first SC built and it is a 1967, then why do most of the SC Replica's replicate a 1965?

Just curious?

The DMV can go by invoice date as well as MSO (not to mention how many cups of coffee the DMV clerk had that morning), Shelby may not have sold this car until '67. The 427 cars production started in late '65 but none (I think) were sold/titled until '66.

Not to mention at that time you probably didn't care what year the DMV assigned.

[RodKnock]

I don't know the answer with certainty, but this car could have been titled at a much later date than when it was built.

My Brg Tr3b in the background having to slow down for the cobra is also for sale! Leaks oil as well but will sadly part for slightly less than 3021!!

Perhaps this car was left unregistered while it traveled around on the Cobra Caravan? As a show piece, it probably only saw track and paddock time until it came back from touring, and only then was it offered for sale.

Just a hunch.

Very nice!
I was thinking it originally had gold wheels. Not sure though.

That gold is one heck of a pretty color. Would anyone know the color name and paint code?

I don't know if I would have the guts to use it, but I do like it on that car.
