ABOUT THIS CLASSICAfter so many years in the classic car world it gets harder to be impressed. This incredible 1965 Shelby Cobra V8 is the exception to the rule. This is not your average build but a real continuation of the original Cobra by the Shelby factory itself. At the start of the nineties Carrol Shelby decided to take up the production of the Cobra again with the introduction of the 4000 series also known as “the continuation cars” This actual car known as CSX 4996 has the dream configuration. It is not only the 1965 chassis and hand build original Shelby body. This example also features the Shelby 452 V8 (7.4 litre) Racing Engine build by the Carrol Shelby Engine Company. This motor cranks out an incredible 525 HP on the wheels. This is breath taking power! This means this Cobra features not 1 but 2 CSX numbers. This engine is backed up by a modern manual transmission which ensures more comfort at highway speeds. Needless to say, this Electric blue finished 1965 Shelby Cobra V8 is in superb overall condition optically as well as technically. This Cobra comes with an extensive owner and service history in which you will find all official certificates for chassis, body, and engine. The history and recent taxation report can be reviewed on request. The car was autographed by Carroll Shelby himself which was preserved for the future.

About AC Cobra 427
AC Cobra 427 MK IIIThe fact that the AC Cobra 427 is the world's most replicated sports car can have both positive and negative effects on the value of the originals. On one hand, the popularity of the car and the proliferation of replicas can help to raise awareness of the original models and increase demand among collectors. On the other hand, the presence of so many replicas can also create confusion and uncertainty among buyers, potentially driving down prices or making it more difficult to find a genuine example.
To ensure that they are buying a genuine Cobra rather than a replica, potential buyers should do their due diligence and thoroughly research the car's history and provenance. This may involve consulting with experts or third-party organizations that specialize in authenticating classic cars, or contacting previous owners or collectors who have knowledge of the car's history.
Some key factors to look for when verifying the authenticity of a Cobra include matching chassis and engine numbers, original documentation or paperwork, and evidence of the car's racing or competition history. It may also be helpful to examine the car's physical characteristics, such as the placement of certain components or details in the interior or engine bay, as these can sometimes be used to differentiate between original and replica models.
Ultimately, the most important thing for a potential buyer to do is to educate themselves about the specific model and to be cautious and thorough in their research before making a purchase. This can help to ensure that they are buying a genuine and valuable classic car, rather than a replica or fraudulent model
