Cars For Sale / 1965 Shelby Cobra - CSX Dragonsnake
September 16, 2023, 01:40:44 PM
History of the DRAGONSNAKE program:
During the first half of the 1960s, the Cobra achieved motorsport success all over the world. It dominated USRRC and SCCA circuit racing, and was an increasingly persistent thorn in Ferrari's side in international competition. In 1965, it finally broke the Italian marque's stranglehold over GT racing by winning the International Championship for GT Manufacturers.
With the fearsome acceleration offered by a powerful V8 in a compact chassis, it was even well suited to drag racing. In 1963, a small band of employees persuaded Carroll Shelby to sanction the development of a drag-racing package. Among other upgrades, four stages of tune were offered for the 289ci engine, producing anything from 270hp to 380hp.
The famous Dragonsnake was born.
Only five factory 289ci Dragonsnakes were built, but other CSX Shelby Cobras were converted to Dragonsnake spec by independent privateers who could buy the package from Shelby when new.
The Cobra made to dominate the drag strip did just that in the 1960s
The goods:
The story goes that after a few employees at Carroll Shelby's small car company created a drag-strip-focused version of the Cobra on their own time, Shelby approved a tiny production run of this quarter-miler called the Dragonsnake. Not legal to drive on the street, they could be ordered from the factory or customers could have their Cobras fitted with Dragonsnake components like a chrome roll bar, new tachometer, revised rear fender flares to fit fat drag slicks on American Racing wheels, and sliding side windows. Only five left the the factory, four fitted with the 289-cubic-inch V8, one got the 427-ci monster. Hemmings says that including the converted customer cars, there are no more than ten Dragonsnakes in the world. The number's about to grow by five, Shelby American announcing a run of continuation cars built by company partner Legendary GT Continuation Cars.
The concept car featured here (CSX 2800) is dedicated to drag racer and NHRA champion Bruce Larson, a man the organizing body calls "NHRA's original triple-threat Pro driver." In 1963, Larson drove Jim Costilow's 289 Dragonsnake to class honors at the Winternationals, Springnationals, and Indy U.S. Nationals, setting records throughout the year in the process. Larson took the Nationals again in 1964. Because Larson was working at a Chevrolet dealership when he did this, the dealership owner had Larson in a Chevy by 1966. But the Cobra had proved itself a winning race car in yet another discipline, and would keep claiming trophies into the late sixties.
The remaining three continuation Dragonsnakes that we are now offering for sale will start as an aluminum slab-side roadster in the CSX2000 series, meaning based on the original 289-ci chassis. The tube rails are four-inch round units, the engine is a 364-ci V8 with an aluminum block and eight Weber carbs making 500 horsepower, fed by a 14-gallon gas tank and Holley electric fuel pump. It's shifted through a Tremec five-speed manual to spur a car weighing roughly 2,100 pounds. Inside, an 8,000-rpm tach mixes with black leather seats, leather door pulls, a rearview mirror, glove box, custom shift knob, and stainless steel roll bar. Other kit includes an aluminum radiator and electric fan, rack and pinion steering, adjustable Penske shocks, 1963-style disc brakes, a custom exhaust, polished side vents and chrome bumpers, and vintage Cobra badges. The car sits on 15-inch vintage FIA wheels wearing Mickey Thompson tires sized 29 x 4.5 in front, 28 x 10.5 in back.
Each Dragonsnake costs $750,000 before options.
These Dragon Snakes are authenticated by Shelby (SAI) and built under their guidance with CSX # 's reserved in the SAAC registry for each build.

Cars For Sale / 1964 Shelby CSX Cobra FIA Continuation 50th Anniversary
September 16, 2023, 01:17:27 PM
VIN # CSX 796O
- 1 of only 50 built
- Fiberglass body
- Period correct late 1960's 289 motor with Weber 8 stack fuel injection
- 5 speed manual transmission
- 250 original miles
- Fresh mechanical service
- Sold on valid state registration and BOS
In 1964, Shelby American introduced the FIA version of the small block 289 Cobra, which dominated its class in many forms of racing throughout the 60's against marques like Corvette, Jaguar and Aston Martin.
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, Shelby American manufactured 50 limited edition Continuation Series (CSX7000) Shelby 289 FIA Cobras.
Each was painted Viking Blue with Arctic White FIA roundels, optional matching white wheel centers, premium black interior, special billet anniversary badges, original style wheels and a variety of additional options. Paint options were limited to the purchaser's choice of team stripe colors.
The 289 FIA Cobras were among the most important cars in American racing history and driven by some of the most revered names in racing like Bondurant, Miles, Gurney and Hill. These Cobras were designed and built with racing in mind. Modifications included a new dash, widened front and rear fenders, cut back doors, racing wheels featuring a pin drive hub, and oil cooler scoops. All cars came with unique Shelby issued CSX serial numbers, a Shelby American issued MSO, and a place in the registry as a 50th anniversary edition Cobra.
All 50th Anniversary Cobras were identical, except for the owner's choice of team stripe color.
This Shelby CSX7000-series 289 FIA Cobra is number 11 of 50 total units that were produced by Shelby American in Las Vegas, Nevada as part of a 50th-anniversary model run commemorating the original 1964 small-block Cobra.
It has traveled just 250 miles since assembly and is powered by a Ford period-correct 289ci V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission.
Finished in Viking Blue with yellow "rookie" striping over a black interior, this limited-production Shelby Cobra continuation model is now offered by the original registered owner
1964 SHELBY CSX COBRA FIA CONTINUATION 50TH ANNIVERSARYSPECIFICATIONS
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The hand-laid fiberglass body is coated in Viking Blue with yellow team striping on the nose. Additional exterior features include a hood scoop, bright headlight rings, a driver-side mirror, a roll hoop behind the driver seat, Arctic White roundels, 50th Anniversary billet badging on the vented front fenders, and mostly hidden side-exit exhaust pipes.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Aluminum Halibrand-style 15-inch wheels with spinner caps are wrapped in highly desirable Goodyear Billboard EAGLE tires to complete that "oh so 1960's" look!
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The cockpit is equipped with dual black bucket seats, matched to the dash face, carpeting. Amenities include lap belts, door map pockets, a detachable wood-rimmed steering wheel with an FIA Cobra emblem, sun visors, and a dash plaque identifying this vehicle as CSX7960, otherwise known as unit number 11 from the 50-unit production run.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
The Stewart Warner instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, an 8K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The mechanical odometer reads 250 miles, reflective of the mileage accrued since this car was assembled.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The 289ci V8 block is Ford period correct. Features include fuel injection with simulated velocity stacks and an aluminum radiator. The engine plate (foot box tag) contains the Shelby CSX identification number. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a floor-shifted Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a Salisbury limited-slip differential with 3.73 gears.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The chassis uses a three-inch-diameter steel frame and the front and rear suspensions are independent. Stopping power comes from dual-piston Shelby-branded calipers.

Cars For Sale / 1965 FORD K-CODE HI-PO MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE
December 08, 2022, 03:02:03 PM
Super rare FACTORY 1965 289 HI-PO K-Code Mustang convertible.
Car was purchased from the original owners estate and was originally sold new & out of North Carolina
Car still wears its original factory color of red paint and has a white top and a black interior
1965 Ford Mustang has not been run/driven in over 30 years and was involved in a hurricane that hit North Carolina decades ago and never came out of the barn after that point so the floor pans, frame rails, torque boxes, inner & outer rocker panels are soft but the rest of the car is actually in nice condition. The interior is in nice condition the trunk is in good condition & the doghouse is in good condition
Car shows 44,187 original miles - Full factory console - power top - Nice!
The car is sold running & driving in and out of a garage (and onto a trailer) but is not street legal by any means - No brakes
I've taken over 50 photos to share with interested parties upon request
Original door tag, all VIN numbers stamped where they should be - one owner factory candy apple red with white top and black interior. January 1965 build
The estate (the grandfather of the gentleman that bought the car new) who has since passed said that the motor (block) was replaced by Ford under warranty and we do see a late 1966 casting and date code on the k- code block - but it appears to have been a short block because it still has the late 1964 hipo distributor and at least one of the original dated heads as well as double groove pulleys the correct fuel pump etc. all the hi-po suspension is still on the car including the rear axle snubbers etc
It's an unbelievably rare opportunity to buy an unrestored original survivor car let alone a factory-documented K-code HI-PO convertible that came from the original owners estate
Car comes with a clean North Carolina title from the original estate
Pay attention because Ford only built 181 K-code Mustang convertibles in 1965

The estate (the grandfather of the gentleman that bought the car new) who has since passed said that the motor (block) was replaced by Ford under warranty and we do see a late 1966 casting and date code on the k- code block - but it appears to have been a short block because it still has the late 1964 hipo distributor and at least one of the original dated heads as well as double groove pulleys the correct fuel pump etc. all the hi-po suspension is still on the car including the rear axle snubbers etc
It's an unbelievably rare opportunity to buy an unrestored original survivor car let alone a factory-documented K-code HI-PO convertible that came from the original owners estate
Car comes with a clean North Carolina title from the original estate
Pay attention because Ford only built 181 K-code Mustang convertibles in 1965

This special roadster was on the 2003 Shelby American Inc Victory Tour circuit, traveling across the nation while also being exhibited at shows and turning heads wherever it went! Lenny Kravitz even drove this beautiful Cobra in Nashville, TN. This Phantom Cobra has an Aluminum Body, glossy Red Paint finish, Black Leather Interior, Custom Painted Cobra along both front fenders, Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop, Ceramic Coated Side Pipes, Shelby Knock Off Wheels, Chrome Roll Bar and Bumpers, Polished Aluminum Fuel Cap, along with Carroll Shelby's Autograph on the nose that's protected underneath the clear coat.

Power is sent to the BF Goodrich Radial T/A Tires through a Top-loader 4-Speed Manual Transmission and a Dana Independent Rear End with Limited Slip! This Phantom Cobra is an absolute blast to drive and there's plenty of power on tap too! Stop on a dime thanks to the equipped Disc Brakes on all four corners of this amazing automobile!
The interior of this Phantom Cobra looks brand new! Take a look inside to see this roadster sporting Bucket Seating, Simpson Lab Belts, Black Leather Upholstery, Black Carpeting, Floor Shifter, Polished Aluminum and Wood Steering Wheel, Shelby Gauges, Carroll Shelby's Signature on the dashboard, Fire Extinguisher, along with a beautifully finished Aluminum Trunk.

This 1965 Shelby aluminum body CSX Phantom Cobra is a gorgeous roadster inside and out! Traveling along with this Cobra is a Plaque with Carrol Shelby's Autograph, a Photo of Carroll Autographing the Shelby-American dash plaque, Dyno Sheets, Carroll Shelby Birthday Magazines, along with Manuals and Receipts from the build!
Originally Carroll Shelby had intended to produce just 10 Phantom Cobra's and thru the design process Carroll wanted to come up with something very special & the means to give the vehicle a (factory) custom paint job that included an image of a Cobra faintly etched to the vehicle skin on each side with Carroll himself signing the nose of the hood and his autograph clear-coated into the finish
Carroll, realizing the exterior of this one-off CSX car, had never been exploited beyond the deletion of the normally seen Shelby dual LeMans racing stripes so Carroll and his team commissioned artist Kenny Vaughn and it took Kenny four months to complete the automobile custom paint work
The car was revealed to Carroll at the Scottsdale Barrett Jackson VIP dinner & auction in 2003 as a surprise as he did not know that his car had been finished days prior to the event
When Carroll saw the car for the first time he fell in love, as it was exactly how he had envisioned it and this car was then auctioned off at Barrett Jackson at the opening night gala celebrating Carroll's 80th birthday with a portion going to the Carroll Shelby's Children's Foundation
After the car was purchased by the new owner that gentleman asked Carroll to include the car in the 40th anniversary Shelby American victory tour were the car won many trophies & press coverage. Included in the victory tour this car was on display at Amelia Island, 12-hours of Sebring, Lowes speedway, The New York International auto show, the SAAC nationals, the Ford centennial, mid-American Ford-Shelby meet, Monterey historic races and the Denver grand prix
Car was also featured in Auto Week magazine at the time.
Carroll even wrote a letter dated January 29, 2003 to the buyer to personally thanking him for purchasing the special one of a kind car and thus contributing to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation
Any collector or enthusiast would love to own this super rare CSX 427 S/C Shelby Cobra
