CSX4241 is a splendidly handcrafted Shelby Cobra, with exacting attention devoted to 1960s detail and originality. This show-winning serpent consistently captures the eye of both young people interested in American muscle car history, and veteran '60s racing and sports car enthusiasts catching a glimpse of what used to be.

CSX4241 runs great and has no known issues. It will sit in 90° traffic idling all day long without a hint of overheating. I bought the car with only 3,600 miles on the clock, and now it's got over 13,000. This car is a DRIVER. I've taken it on 200+ mile trips without a hiccup. Keep in mind that it's got its share of rock chips and such, but this is the kind of Cobra you just get in, turn the key, and enjoy driving all day.

It's registered in SAAC's new Shelby World Registry. Additonally, SAAC Cobra concours judge and Club Cobra/SAAC website moderator Ron Richards has both seen this car in person and gone on long distance drives with it. If you need someone to vouch for the detail and reliability of the car, I am sure Ron will be happy to give it his stamp of approval.

Both decks open view.

CSX4241 is my dream car, that I've put my heart and soul into. Selling this car will be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but recent turns of events in my life have forced me to let her go. She needs a good home now.
