You don’t see these just lying around all over the place.


Of all the original Shelby Cobras, the 427 S/C is the most legendary and desirable. A mere 29 of these semi-competition roadsters were constructed back then, so it’s entirely possible you haven’t seen one in real life. While there are some nice reproduction models out there, when it comes to collecting nothing beats having the original 1967 Shelby Cobra. One of the few made back in the 60s is now heading back to the market and it’s expected to fetch millions.

As you’d expect with such a high-roller collector car, this Shelby has been thoroughly documented. It was ordered by John Grappone of Grappone Ford back in October of 1966. The first owner kept it until 1982 and since it had been owned by a Ford dealer, it’s technically the last “new” Cobra sold.
