The Shelby Cobra is arguably one of the world's most famous and recognizable sports cars today. Today's CSX 4000 Series 427 S/C component vehicles from Shelby Automobiles, Inc. are everything the 1965 models were and more. The authenticity of each vehicle is documented by Shelby CSX numbers and a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) from Shelby American signed by Carroll Shelby himself. Improvements include a stronger steel frame and better alloys used in the components, plus better cooling and additional heat shielding to make these cars safer and more drivable without losing any of their original character. With 0-60 MPH under four seconds, and 12 second quarter mile performance, you'll know exactly what it's like to drive a true American legend. Bodies are available in fiberglass, carbon fiber and aluminum.

Here are some new figures, supplied by Amy B, from SAI. (Feb. 2008)

-Continuation Cobra's for 427 CSX4000 series are roughly 720+ total

-Aluminum is about 170 of that number and the balance is glass, there are some carbon fiber as well, about 8 of those.

-There are also 13 AC original hand rolled Aluminum bodies they are CSX1000, but are 427 body style

-As is with the original 3000 series, no two 4000 series Cobras are alike.
