The 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra Roadster, chassis number CSX3009 is not just a car; it’s a rolling piece of motorsport history and was a marketing powerhouse for Essex Wire.
Competing in the 1965 US Road Racing Championship, chassis CSX3009 clinched an impressive fourth-place finish in its debut season, solidifying its legacy as one of the most successful Cobras ever built.
After its racing days, the Cobra was preserved in original as-raced condition for 20 years by collector George Stauffer before a meticulous restoration in 1995 returned it to its original specification.
Today, this roadster is a testament to Carroll Shelby's engineering genius and a living relic of an era when racing was raw, visceral, and unapologetically bold.
