A rare Shelby Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster will be auctioned off by Mecum in June.

While the listing states that this is a 1965 model, it wasn’t actually built in 1965 and was instead brought to life in the 2000s when Shelby launched the CSX4000 series as a tribute to the original car. Only 40 examples of the Cobra CSX4000 series models were produced over the years and this example is number 29 and one of only five to feature a hand-crafted, polished aluminum body.

The exterior of the car truly is a sight to behold thanks to the glistening aluminum panels that highlight every crease and curve of the iconic design. Complementing the exterior finish are 15-inch Trigo wheels with vintage Goodyear Eagle Billboard racing tires. There is also a chrome roll hoop and side exiting exhausts.

Powering this Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster is a 427 cubic-inch Stroker V8 pumping out 535 hp and 545 lb-ft (739 Nm) of torque. This engine sports two Holley four-barrel carburetors and is mated to a four-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels.

The Mecum listing notes that Baer disc brakes are featured at all four corners and that the Cobra also has adjustable coilovers. It has also been equipped with a Shelby/Dana 44 rear differential and has a rack and pinion steering system.

A look inside the cabin reveals black leather upholstery across the dashboard and seats. There is also a wooden-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel and the dash has been personally signed by Carroll Shelby.

The listing does not provide any ownership details about the car nor how many miles it has on the clock. A little bit of research reveals that it sold for $205,000 on Bring a Trailer back in August 2020. It had 1,800 miles on the clock at the time of that auction.
