1965 Shelby 289 Cobra - BARRETT-JACKSON COLLECTION SHOWROOM

See the legendary 1965 Shelby American 289 Cobra at the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom in Scottsdale! Schedule an appointment to experience CSX 2337's rich history firsthand. This classic beauty, which raced in autocross events, was repainted in its original red in 1973. With its original aluminum body, engine, transmission and even an unused spare tire, this Cobra is immediately available and ready to be a centerpiece in your collection.
While working as an aerospace engineer at Douglas Aircraft in 1964, John Hector began his search for a Cobra. He had driven a classmate's Cobra after college and had become entranced by the prospect of owning one himself. He inquired after a few used cars, until he came upon a new 289 Cobra in Utah. Walter Larson ‪@ford‬ in Murray, UT, was anxious to move their Cobra before winter set in, so a deal was struck and, on December 23, 1964, Hector boarded a plane and set off for Utah to collect his car. The original sticker price was $6,465, and the final sale price was only $5,299. Hector brought the Cobra home to Anaheim, CA, and used the car as his daily driver for the next two years. During that time, competed in a few autocross events in Los Angeles and San Diego, CA, as well as in Portland, OR. In 1973 the car was repainted in its original red. That same year Hector moved to Oregon, and the Cobra was set aside and driven infrequently, except for occasional local vintage sports car rallies. CSX 2337 has never been in an accident, and the aluminum body remains completely original. It has one repaint in 1973. The engine was rebuilt and dynamically balanced about 10 years ago, with only 3,000 to 4,000 miles put on the car since the rebuild. The engine, transmission and rear end are original to the car. Even the original spare tire, which has never been used, is included with the car. The sale also includes the original sales paperwork (original purchase receipt, ‪@ShelbyAmericanInc‬ factory invoice, agreement, report of sale receipt, dealer letters, buyer's form and warranty), manufacturer's statement of origin, 500-mile service paperwork, A.C. Cobra Chassis Instruction Book, owner's manual and period brochures. This Cobra also comes with the original tools (five wrenches, pliers and wheel hammer), tool bag, grease gun, jack, soft-top, convertible top bows, tonneau cover, side curtains, two side windows, spare keys and fob.
