First ever Shelby Cobra heading to auction

The first Cobra ever built by Carroll Shelby is going under the hammer.

VIN number CSX 2000 was built by the legendary automotive engineer in 1962 in a small garage in Santa Fe Spring, California. Shelby was joined by a group of car-mod crazy friends, and together they managed to fit Ford's then-new 4.3-litre V8 under the bonnet of an AC Ace.
