For the first time in 40 years the opportunity to own a Shelby CSX2568 roadster has arisen. A vehicle designed in the early 1960s and associated with the affluent macho, it has the unenviable reputation of being the most copied car in the history of motoring. Barrett-Jackson Auction Company brings the opportunity to have the privilege of owning a genuine Cobra, with only 687 built from 1962-1965. This iconic car will feature among others at ‘The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions ™’ at its 2nd annual Las Vegas event October 7-10, at that Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Certainly one of the stars of the show, the Cobra is valued at $525,000 although will almost definitely go for more than this price. The model is a beautifully restored, low mileage 1965 289 Shelby Cobra sporting original style Dunlop racing tires on chrome Borranis wire wheels. According to the consignor numbers on the chassis, engine, transmission and differential are correct and original and it was never raced, never had any rust and was never bent. This is a rare opportunity indeed to own a car of timeless status and luxury.
