Full Description

[Friday 4:30]
CSX 6024 is a Continuation Series Car built by Shelby American Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shelby American started building these cars in 1995 to present. Not to be confused with replicas or a kit car. This is a fully documented Shelby with a proper CSX number, a Manufacturers Statement of Origin and is signed by Carroll Shelby. Only a small number are built each year and every one of these are included in the official Shelby Registry.

CSX 6024 is titled in Nevada as a 1965 Shelby Cobra. This Cobra is finished in historic racing blue color. It is powered by a 1960’s date period correct Ford FE 427 Stroker engine that produces major horsepower on 91 octane gasoline. The engine block and heads are original cast iron produced by Ford. The motor is stroked and has approximately 454 cubic inches. Transmission is a tremec 5 speed produced with the highest quality components and true to the form and tradition of the originals.

Given the lofty sums commanded by the 1960’s era Shelby Cobras in todays market, CSX 6024 offers an alternative that is functional and yet fully authenticated by Carrol Shelby and Shelby American Inc. to the A/C Cobra's built in the 1960's.
