I was able to touch base with Shelby American this week, and they shared the complete order build paperwork, except for the original owners name that placed the order with Shelby American in March 1999. They were only able to share what was shipped April 2, 1999 to HRE in Long Island along with the options. The person that I spoke with at Shelby American has been there since 1999, and was a big help. I learned that 4147 was produced very early in Carrol Shelby's reintroduction of the 427 Street Competition Cobras.

Interesting note that the original Shelby American order sheet had a FE-427 and Top Loader 4spd hand written along with the included rear axle ratio. then per Bill's call out from the registry with vinyl interior, wheel, header and side exhaust delete. 

Thanks Again Bill & Shelby Motor Sports.
 

Thank you Bill and Shelby Motor Sports!

Hello SAAC Forum,
I have been a SAAC member for 22 years.

I just purchased CSX4147, and could use some help on its history. It comes with the original statement of origin dated 1999. It also comes with the paperwork from NY where the engine was installed. Other than the gentleman I purchased from, and knowing it was in NY prior to his ownership, I was hoping to see if there
is any additional history.

I went to the cobra registry, and that did not have anything.

Appreciate the help.
Thanks, Sean
