Fitted with a 550 hp Shelby FE 429 cu. in. V-8 engine and a four-speed manual gearbox, CSX 3067 features
the original-style swept forward shifter, horn button, Raydot mirrors and Lucas headlights, adding to the
overall authenticity. Presenting in as-new condition and showing a mere five miles on the odometer, this
iconic Cobra would certainly stand out in any collection of sports and racing cars (Est. $400,000 –
$500,000).
Joining the ‘Sanction II’ is an additional pair of desirable Cobras—a 1965 Shelby 427 S/C Cobra ‘1000
Series’ and a 1965 Shelby 289 Cobra ‘8000 Series’. Among the finest of the Shelby Cobra continuation
cars, the 427 S/C Cobra ‘1000 Series’, chassis no. CSX 1017, wears an aluminum body that was
hand-formed in England before the car made its way stateside to be finished in-house at Shelby’s Las
Vegas facility. Its power comes from a high-performance Shelby FE 452 cu. in. V-8 engine married to
five-speed Tremec manual transmission. CSX 1017 is an excellent low-mileage example, showing fewer
than 150 miles, and holds the unique distinction of having its glovebox signed by Carroll Shelby (Est.
$225,000 – $275,000). One of approximately 50 produced to honor the 40th anniversary of the CSX 2000,
the 289 Cobra ‘8000 Series’, chassis no. CSX 8502, wears a lightweight aluminum body with an impressive
450 hp, 331 cu. in. V-8 engine under the hood. Finished strikingly in Guardsman Blue with black leather
seats, the authentic Cobra comes available in virtually as-new condition with only test miles on the
odometer (Est. $220,000 – $250,000).

transmission and showing less than 300 miles (Est. $230,000 – $250,000);

- Offered from the collection of Terry Johnson, a low-mileage 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
wearing a stunning two-tone Black Metallic Pearl and Brushed Stainless Steel exterior over a Creme interior
(Est. $160,000 – $180,000);
- Originally owned by noted privateer driver Laurie Craig, a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe,
successfully campaigned in period, having achieved 1st overall at the 1966 Westwood Motor Sport Park
Players Pacific Championship, and once driven by Sir Stirling Moss (Est. $135,000 - $165,000).
