Overview

This is CSX3328 – an original, factory-delivered 1966 AC Shelby Cobra 427, restored to concours standard and finished in its original color combination of red over black leather. Powered by its matching-numbers 427ci side-oiler V8, this Cobra offers breathtaking performance, undeniable presence, and a documented history that reflects decades of careful preservation. One of the finest examples of its kind, ready for both the concours lawn and the open road.

History

CSX3328 was delivered on 7 November 1966 in red with black trim by AC Cars Limited, then completed by Shelby American in Los Angeles with its original drivetrain. It was shipped to Michigan before being exported to the United Kingdom, where it remained for several decades.

Over the years, the car passed through a handful of passionate collectors in both the UK and Switzerland. A complete record of ownership and maintenance accompanies the car today, attesting to its authenticity and the care it has received throughout its life.

Between 2018 and 2022, the current owner commissioned a comprehensive restoration in Switzerland, returning the Cobra to its original color and elevating it to concours-level standards. Subtle high-performance upgrades were included to maximize the potential of the legendary Shelby V8, without compromising the originality or spirit of the car.

• The aluminum bodywork is laser-straight and shows expert craftsmanship
• Paintwork in red is deep, rich, and flawlessly applied
• The black leather interior is elegant, minimal, and correct to factory spec
