Shelby American 427SC
McDonald's Red, CSX4113


Photo above is hotlinked (same view, MUCH larger size).

CSX4113 is #2 of 4 ever built for the Carroll Shelby/Bill Elliott Signature Series. The Series was intended to total 10 cars, each based upon an original 1965 427SC Cobra, but Bill and Ernie Elliott moved to a Mopar racing team before completion. It was painted McDonald's Red, representing the Elliotts' NASCAR sponsor at the time.

Dan Marino was a partner in the Elliott Race Team thus the number "13" (Dan's jersey number with the Miami Dolphins) in 4113. Bill's brother—heralded NASCAR Winston Cup engine builder Ernie Elliott—built the powerplant. The 454 cid engine produces a breathtaking 750 horsepower and 600 ft./ lbs. of torque on pump gas.

This masterpiece was assembled by Bill Andrews of H.R.E. Motorcars in Freeport, New York. Bill is the only Shelby-approved Cobra builder and is considered by many to be the finest craftsman of Shelby Cobras in North America. He is available to answer your questions. One of the four cars in this Series sold for $175,000 in 2003; it would cost you over $200,000 to replicate it today. CSX4113 has 725 miles on it and has been meticulously cared for by two owners.
