The legend is auctioned !: The first Shelby Cobra leaves the hands of Carroll Shelby

There are cars with a lot of history behind it, but only in remote times we can find models in auctions that gave the beginning of a true empire. This Shelby Cobra is one of them, hand-built by Carroll Shelby himself began the legacy of the American brand back in the 60s And to top it off, its sole owner was none other than his builder and founder of the brand.

We can say without doubt that is original and unique. The first of all the "Cobras" from 1962 until today, a legacy that is still alive and giving much war. It all started when Carroll decided to put down the hood of his creation a Ford V8 engine of 4,260 cubic centimeters wheels shod with British-made AC Ace. Called CSX 2000, it would serve as basis for developing prototype and production model legendary.

Shelby was the owner of this car throughout his life, kept and cared for him from the first moment in which it was built. This special Cobra never left the hands of its creator, was his personal car and did not let anyone take it away from the hands until he died in 2012, leaving behind a legacy that today still stands.

Perhaps you think that has been a pampered car in excess and has been all his life under canvas hidden in some garage locked cotton, but the reality is quite different, in fact the same CSX 2000 was sent to multiple media engine It is tested after becoming public, and Carroll Shelby with the intention to convince everyone that had already built a fleet of Cobras painted the same car with a different color every time would be tested by a medium, so confusing journalists. Each magazine thought I had tried a different car, however, everyone had tried the same car and the legend of Cobra began to be written.

According to the company in charge of auctioning the Shelby Cobra: "It is without exception the most important and able to rewrite history sports car ever seen at auction, after 50 years of ownership without having to leave the care of their founding father" .

It may seem exaggerated, but it is not. This model definitely changed the course of history as no one else did, led Ford to become a real power in competition and began the tradition of front engine and rear wheel drive that reaches the industry today. It is certainly a model that puts goose bumps, the authentic roadster before you will feel the wind on your face and have fun like a child at the wheel.
