To celebrate 50 years of the FIA Cobra, Shelby American has created a limited continuation Cobra, called the CSX7000.
Limited to just 50 units, the CSX7000 was unveiled at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, and features a Viking Blue exterior with Arctic White stripes, a black FIA interior and special billet anniversary badges. There's also a side exiting exhaust and original style wheels.
"The 289 FIA Shelby Cobras were among the most important cars in American racing history," said John Luft, president of Shelby American. "The FIA Cobras built during that period were piloted by racing legends including Ken Miles, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill and Bob Bondurant. Thus, some of the most revered drivers in the sport put the 289 FIA Cobra into the winner’s circle. Combining a robust, powerful American engine with a lightweight chassis was sheer brilliance. Shelby’s formula still resonates today and is followed by automakers worldwide."
The 50th Anniversary CSX7000 FIA Continuation Cobra has a starting price of $94,995 for a fiberglass body or $159,995 for an aluminum body, excluding powertrain.
