Shelby Cobra 427 S/C – CSX 6000
(Fiberglass)
Though not the first Cobra body style built, the 427 S/C is possibly the look most associated with the legendary line of cars. Following their historic crowning of the FIA World Manufacturing Championship in 1965, Shelby American began work on upgrading their signature roadster design. In 1966 they debuted the 427 S/C, their most powerful roadster at the time, for street and competition use (S/C). They developed independent suspension, fortified the frame to handle the increased torque, and made adjustments to the body to distinguish itself from the other models. In 1997 they resumed production of the Cobra 427 S/C calling them the CSX 4000 series.
Though the original 427 S/C’s were big block cars, the CSX-6000 series rolling chassis can be built with a big or small block engine. Using the CSX 4000 and CSX 6000 serial numbers, the rolling chassis are available with either an aluminum or fiberglass body.
