Shelby Cobra For Sale
1957 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra CSX3063 for sale by dealer, now on PCARMARKET. Chassis #3063 was fitted with custom coachwork by Ghia before being debuted at the Turin Auto Salon and featured in Style Auto #9. The Ghia Cobra was eventually returned to AC Cars for disposal, but was instead built out as a 427 Cobra Roadster and used a demonstration vehicle before it was damaged and tucked back away in AC's workshops. It wasn't until the late 1970s a Mr. Mike McClusky purchased the remains of the Ghia Cobra from AC Cars and shipped them back to his shop in Torrance, California, where its parts were cataloged and stored. The car's frame and parts were eventually sold to Scott Grissom, son of famed astronaut Gus Grissom, in the mid-1980s before being acquired by Steve Foristall of Foristall's GT cars and later purchased by Ted Thomas of Birmingham, Alabama in the late 1980s. Mr. Thomas repaired the chassis on his own frame table and had the car restored before it was shown at the 20th SAAC Convention in bare aluminum, with the notation "Last Comp Chassis" on its nose panel. Finally, in June of 2011, Cobra Restorers Ltd. was commissioned to complete the restoration of #3063 including fresh Viking Blue paint, a newly built 427 engine, and Toploader transmission. Boasting impressive provenance and a beautiful restoration by marque experts, this Shelby 427 Competition Cobra is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas.

"Boasting impressive provenance"
The comments sure tell a different story - Maybe Ned will offers some tips or if someone has access to the online Cobra registry they can recap what's known.
Interesting "history" ;)
