Classic Car Overview

As one of the most exclusive modern interpretations of Carroll Shelbys legendary roadster, this 1962 Shelby Cobra CSX8000 50th Anniversary Edition, chassis CSX8986, is one of just 50 examples built by Shelby American in 2011 to commemorate five decades of the Cobra. The limited-production CSX8000 series was announced in 2011 in celebration of the original CSX2000, and all 50 examples were reportedly sold within 48 hours of their introduction. Serialized CSX8950 through CSX8999, this particular car is number 37 of 50 and is listed in the Shelby Registry. Faithfully echoing the appearance of the original 1962 Cobra, the 50th Anniversary Edition features a lightweight fiberglass body finished in black over a Rosso Red leather interior, along with period-inspired chrome trim, 15-inch wire wheels, wood-rimmed steering wheel, Stewart-Warner instrumentation, and distinctive 50th Anniversary badging. Under its classic bodywork, CSX8986 benefits from the mechanical improvements developed for Shelbys CSX8000 continuation series while retaining the character of the original Cobra. This example is equipped with a 363-cubic-inch Ford V-8 featuring hot camshafts and Weber carburetors, paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The CSX8000 platform incorporates a stronger steel tube chassis, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, improved cooling, and upgraded componentry, bringing meaningful contemporary improvements to the iconic side-exit-exhaust roadster formula. A prior listing for this exact chassis reported 786 miles and a claimed output of approximately 500 horsepower from its 363-cubic-inch engine. Perhaps most compellingly, CSX8986 is presented as a one-owner example and remains on its original Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO), offering an unusually direct connection to its Shelby American provenance. The seller reports no known accident repairs, paintwork, exterior blemishes, or mechanical issues, while the interior is described as free of significant wear and all equipment is said to function as intended. Recent attention includes a fluid service in 2025 and replacement of the battery in 2026; the seller states that no further service is currently required. Included with the car are two sets of keys and the original MSO.
