In 1962, Carroll Shelby devised and forged one of the most recognized American muscle cars in history, the Shelby Cobra. This is the tribute to the first cobra CSX2000. The Shelby Cobra CSX2000 Tribute Series of roadsters are the ultimate salute to Carroll Shelby. Original factory blueprints were used for the aluminum bodies, which follow every line of the first Shelby Cobra. The cockpit, interior, one-off bodywork and authentic leaf spring suspension with a correct Salisbury rear end and inboard brakes, are identical to those on the prototype Shelby Cobra.
