Cars For Sale / 1965 Shelby Cobra 289 Roadster FOR SALE
December 26, 2025, 06:52:14 PM
Offered for sale is CSX 2439, an authentic, factory-built 1965 Shelby Cobra 289 produced by Shelby American during the final and most refined phase of original 289 Cobra production.
This is a true period Cobra, built in the 1960s as part of Shelby American's original production run, and not a continuation, recreation, or tribute. Importantly, the car retains its original, factory-installed, matching-numbers drivetrain, a distinction that places it among a very small and highly desirable group of surviving Cobras.
The CSX chassis sequence traces its roots directly back to CSX 2000, the first Shelby Cobra and the car that launched Carroll Shelby's vision of combining a lightweight British chassis with American V-8 power. The 289-powered Cobra became the purest and most successful expression of that idea, forming the foundation of Shelby American's early international racing achievements. CSX 2439 sits squarely within this original lineage and represents the fully matured execution of the Cobra concept.
By 1965, the 289 Cobra platform had benefited from years of development, competition experience, and continuous refinement. Late-production examples such as CSX 2439 feature fully developed chassis geometry, proven and durable drivetrain combinations, improved cooling and braking systems, and a level of build consistency informed by extensive racing use. As a result, these late 289 Cobras are widely regarded as the most refined and desirable of the original series.
While the later 427 Cobra is often associated with raw horsepower, many enthusiasts and collectors consider the 289 Cobra to be the purist's Cobra. Its lighter weight, narrower track, and superior balance deliver a more agile, communicative driving experience that remains unmatched. With an approximate curb weight of just 2,000 pounds and an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, the 289 Cobra offers precise steering, predictable handling, and a closer adherence to Carroll Shelby's original design intent. CSX 2439 exemplifies these qualities, delivering the balanced and visceral performance that defined the Cobra's reputation.
The retention of its original engine, transmission, and rear axle is particularly significant. During the Cobra's active years, many examples lost their original drivetrains due to racing use, mechanical failure, or period performance upgrades. As a result, original 289 CSX cars with complete mechanical continuity are exceptionally scarce. This originality enhances CSX 2439's historical integrity, increases its desirability among advanced collectors, strengthens its concours and judging potential, and contributes to long-term market stability.
CSX 2439 presents today as a properly preserved and correctly maintained original Cobra, reflecting knowledgeable stewardship and respect for its historical significance. It has not been over-restored or excessively modernized, retaining the authenticity that is increasingly valued by top-level collectors. As such, it is well suited for a variety of uses, including driving and touring, concours display, historic events, Shelby-focused gatherings, and long-term collection or investment.
Approximately 580 original 289 Cobras were produced between 1962 and 1965. Only a small percentage survive today with correct configuration, documented provenance, and a matching-numbers drivetrain. CSX 2439 occupies this increasingly narrow and highly desirable subset, representing an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the finest expressions of Shelby American's original Cobra legacy.

Cars For Sale / 1969 BOSS 429 MUSTANG
November 12, 2025, 11:54:09 AM
One-Owner, All Matching Numbers, First-Time Public Offering!
Unbelievably rare, fully documented, and offered to the public for the very first time. This one-owner California Boss 429 is entirely matching numbers, factory-original, and officially listed in the Boss 429 Registry.
Offered here is an extraordinary 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 — an untouched California original, meticulously maintained, and historically significant. This car has never been publicly offered before. Purchased directly from its original owner in Southern California earlier this summer, it has remained in the same hands from new until now. Its full 56-year life has been spent in Southern California, making it an unbroken black plate California car from day one.
Special-ordered and delivered through Culver City Ford, this Boss 429 is a documented one-of-one in its delivery history — the only Royal Maroon Boss 429 ever sold through that dealership. Accompanied by an exceptional archive of original documentation, this car remains a pristine example of Ford's legendary homologation program.
The Boss 429 was Ford's bold response to NASCAR's horsepower wars in the late 1960s. To qualify the massive 429ci semi-hemi V8 for competition, Ford had to produce at least 500 street cars — giving birth to one of the most exotic muscle cars ever made.
Because the engine could not fit a standard Mustang assembly line, Kar Kraft hand-built each chassis with relocated front shock towers, reinforced frame rails, and suspension modifications, making every Boss 429 a true hand-crafted homologation special.
Performance Highlights:
429ci semi-hemi NASCAR V8 with crescent-shaped combustion chambers
Rated 375 horsepower for insurance; actual output far higher
Engine designed for high-RPM durability and immense power potential
Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and 9-inch Traction-Lok rear end
This Boss 429 retains all its original Kar Kraft modifications and factory-unique engineering details:
Kar Kraft-modified chassis: relocated front shock towers, reinforced frame rails
Trunk-mounted battery for improved weight distribution
Special Boss 429 front suspension for high-RPM stability
NASCAR-spec semi-hemi 429 V8
Toploader 4-speed manual and 9-inch Traction-Lok rear axle
Special-order Royal Maroon exterior with unique matching interior
Original factory decals and data plates fully intact
Authentically preserved, hand-built homologation special
Some collector highlights:
9FO2Z172919
KK# 1610
All matching numbers: stamped engine, transmission, and rear end - Perkins verified with documentation from Kar Kraft
Single-owner provenance until summer 2025
First-time public offering
Original California black plates with dealer plate bracket intact
Delivered new through Culver City Ford, CA — never left the state
One of only 850 Boss 429s built in 1969; one of 122 in Royal Maroon
Only Boss 429 ever sold through Culver City Ford — one-of-one provenance
Listed in the Boss 429 Registry
Elite Marti Report
Comprehensive archive book including: original purchase invoice, build sheets, shipping invoices, registration history, and maintenance records
Full bumper-to-bumper service completed August 2025 by our factory-authorized Shelby American dealer facility, ensuring factory correctness, reliability and drivability
Runs and drives like new — perfect for national-level show competition or occasional enjoyment on the road. Meticulously preserved its entire life, this Boss 429 is a true blue-chip investment with unmatched rarity and provenance.
Original features and options:
Interior: Deluxe black bucket seats with console, original carpet, trim, and headliner
Optional equipment: factory AM radio, functional heater, power steering, power front disc brakes, tinted glass
Exterior: correct BOSS 429 (only) hood scoop, Boss 429 badging
Wheels & tires: factory steel wheels with Boss 429 center caps, period-correct Goodyear Polyglas tires
Exhaust: original dual system with factory routing and hangers
This Boss 429 is the ultimate combination of rarity, originality, and provenance. With one-owner California history, first-time availability, Boss 429 Registry listing, and complete documentation, it represents far more than a muscle car — it is a once-in-a-lifetime collector's acquisition.
Few 1969 Boss 429s ever come to market, and almost none remain tied to their original owner. This combination of provenance, exclusivity, and factory originality makes this car a true blue-chip investment, destined to anchor a world-class collection and appreciate in both historical and financial significance.
A true once-in-a-lifetime Boss 429 — original, factory-unique, Kar Kraft-engineered, and collector-grade scarce.

Full bumper-to-bumper in-depth Shelby Mustang service performed, in 2024, by our factory-authorized Shelby American dealership - car runs and drives fantastic. All components including the rare tilt-pop-a-way steering wheel and sequential taillights are in good working order.
Car needs nothing to immediately start to drive & enjoy.
Car was stored in a HVAC basement (actually built around it in 1979) for well over 40 years until we bought it in 2022. Original matching-numbers drive-train, paint, tires, wheels, etc.
Fully documented - One of only 18 special paint (grabber green) GT 500 fastbacks built in 1969 & one of only 4 with white interior - super rare white interior, factory 4-speed with all options including - traction loc rear end, sport deck rear filing seat, power steering, tilt pop a way wheel, power brakes, AM radio, tinted glass, original Goodyear Polyglass tires. Nothing missing including the smog system Only original & unrestored once - Time capsule survivor car - Original patina from every angle when you look at this car - Factory line inspections stickers still in place, original FoMoCo headlights, car even has its original factory tie-down clamps for transport that were usually removed by the selling Ford dealership when new and discarded.
This is a classic Shelby GT 500 with the overall look of a respected muscle machine proudly showing off the years of originality. One would be hard pressed to find one like it, let alone in this color combination. The exterior of the car looks wonderful, having never been restored and it's a great original survivor. It has the factory-original grabber green paint, complemented by the white Clarion Knit Interior. As an original unrestored survivor, the first impression is the unbelievable condition this vehicle is in for being 55-years-old.
The undercarriage is factory original with no signs of any rust or wreck history. Original Goodyear Polyglass GT mounted on Shelby five-spoke chrome wheels drives this machine. It has documentation including Owner's Manual, Order Form, Marti Report, Dealer Invoice, etc.
This Shelby is a virtual time capsule, being the closest experience to owning a new Shelby GT500 back in 1969.
There are only a handful of these cars in all original condition in existence, making this one stand out in a sea of restored cars. This car in particular is the one to buy if you have been looking for a true original, well-maintained, never restored fully documented Shelby Mustang. The car is listed in the SAAC registry.

Cars For Sale / 1965 Shelby Cobra - CSX Dragonsnake
September 16, 2023, 01:40:44 PM
History of the DRAGONSNAKE program:
During the first half of the 1960s, the Cobra achieved motorsport success all over the world. It dominated USRRC and SCCA circuit racing, and was an increasingly persistent thorn in Ferrari's side in international competition. In 1965, it finally broke the Italian marque's stranglehold over GT racing by winning the International Championship for GT Manufacturers.
With the fearsome acceleration offered by a powerful V8 in a compact chassis, it was even well suited to drag racing. In 1963, a small band of employees persuaded Carroll Shelby to sanction the development of a drag-racing package. Among other upgrades, four stages of tune were offered for the 289ci engine, producing anything from 270hp to 380hp.
The famous Dragonsnake was born.
Only five factory 289ci Dragonsnakes were built, but other CSX Shelby Cobras were converted to Dragonsnake spec by independent privateers who could buy the package from Shelby when new.
The Cobra made to dominate the drag strip did just that in the 1960s
The goods:
The story goes that after a few employees at Carroll Shelby's small car company created a drag-strip-focused version of the Cobra on their own time, Shelby approved a tiny production run of this quarter-miler called the Dragonsnake. Not legal to drive on the street, they could be ordered from the factory or customers could have their Cobras fitted with Dragonsnake components like a chrome roll bar, new tachometer, revised rear fender flares to fit fat drag slicks on American Racing wheels, and sliding side windows. Only five left the the factory, four fitted with the 289-cubic-inch V8, one got the 427-ci monster. Hemmings says that including the converted customer cars, there are no more than ten Dragonsnakes in the world. The number's about to grow by five, Shelby American announcing a run of continuation cars built by company partner Legendary GT Continuation Cars.
The concept car featured here (CSX 2800) is dedicated to drag racer and NHRA champion Bruce Larson, a man the organizing body calls "NHRA's original triple-threat Pro driver." In 1963, Larson drove Jim Costilow's 289 Dragonsnake to class honors at the Winternationals, Springnationals, and Indy U.S. Nationals, setting records throughout the year in the process. Larson took the Nationals again in 1964. Because Larson was working at a Chevrolet dealership when he did this, the dealership owner had Larson in a Chevy by 1966. But the Cobra had proved itself a winning race car in yet another discipline, and would keep claiming trophies into the late sixties.
The remaining three continuation Dragonsnakes that we are now offering for sale will start as an aluminum slab-side roadster in the CSX2000 series, meaning based on the original 289-ci chassis. The tube rails are four-inch round units, the engine is a 364-ci V8 with an aluminum block and eight Weber carbs making 500 horsepower, fed by a 14-gallon gas tank and Holley electric fuel pump. It's shifted through a Tremec five-speed manual to spur a car weighing roughly 2,100 pounds. Inside, an 8,000-rpm tach mixes with black leather seats, leather door pulls, a rearview mirror, glove box, custom shift knob, and stainless steel roll bar. Other kit includes an aluminum radiator and electric fan, rack and pinion steering, adjustable Penske shocks, 1963-style disc brakes, a custom exhaust, polished side vents and chrome bumpers, and vintage Cobra badges. The car sits on 15-inch vintage FIA wheels wearing Mickey Thompson tires sized 29 x 4.5 in front, 28 x 10.5 in back.
Each Dragonsnake costs $750,000 before options.
These Dragon Snakes are authenticated by Shelby (SAI) and built under their guidance with CSX # 's reserved in the SAAC registry for each build.
