Description
The Continuation Cobras are genuine Cobras built by Shelby in Las Vegas and are strictly identical to those of the 1960s; only the thickness of the main chassis tubes is slightly greater to improve the car’s rigidity. All CSX4000 series cars (here the number is 4797) have been sold and are expected to appreciate in value in the medium term. They appear in the Shelby registry (Shelby registry in the United States) for perfect traceability.
The car was painted / stickered almost identically to the CSX3009, the Cobra that won the most races in the 1960s in the United States – the numbers “72” can be replaced or simply removed.
