1965 Shelby Cobra 427

The 1965 Shelby Corbra 427 S/C is a sports car manufactured by Shelby.
== Description ==
The 427 refers to the 7-liter displacement of its engine, which was a significant increase from the previous 289 cubic inches. One of the most notable aspects of this car is its unique and iconic design, which was a collaboration between American car designer Carroll Shelby and British automaker AC Cars. This combination brought together the powerful American engine and the sleek and lightweight British chassis to create a truly remarkable vehicle. The S/C (Semi-Competition) is the ultimate incarnation of the Cobra that was originally intended for FIA homologation, but converted for road use after Shelby Rejected to comply with production targets set by the FIA.
The new chassis used in the Shelby Cobra 427 was specially designed to handle the immense power of the big block engine. It was constructed using a combination of strong tubing and lightweight aluminum panels, making it both lightweight and rigid. This allowed for better handling and performance, making the car a force to be reckoned with on both the street and the track.
In terms of competition models, the CSX/CSB 3001–3100 were specifically built for racing purposes. These models had a more stripped-down interior, with lightweight seats, roll bars, and other modifications to reduce weight and increase speed. The CSX/CSB 3000 series models were also equipped with a variety of engine options, including the 427 racing engine and the 427 S/C (Semi-Competition) engine, which had even more power and performance capabilities.
The production models (CSX/CSB 3101–3360) of the Shelby Cobra 427 were more suited for everyday driving, with more comfortable interiors and other upgrades such as air conditioning and power steering. These models still maintained the impressive power and performance of the original racing models, making them a popular choice among car enthusiasts who wanted the best of both worlds.
However, despite its popularity and success, the Shelby Cobra 427 was eventually discontinued due to a variety of reasons. One of the main factors was the introduction of safety and emission regulations in the late 1960s, which made it difficult for small companies like Shelby to meet the requirements without significant financial investment. It was discontinued in 1967 and stop importing in England.
