 | Behold an automotive icon. Enter Ford’s mighty 427 engine: a cast iron, big block monster. The 427 Cobra was born, but not without a substantial amount of engineering work, which included a new chassis with 4-in. tube frame and 7-in. wider body with larger fender flares – needed because of the increased power and weight of the engine. |
 | Termed the 427 Cobra in a staff meeting on 7 April 1965, Shelby’s big-block cars have always been rare, with just over 300 built. |  |
 | The 427 Cobra was a mighty racing car and virtually unbeatable. |  |
 | Chassis no. CSX 3359 is the second-to-last 427 Cobra produced and has all of 1,900 original miles on the clock. The Cobra sold in 1978 for $85,000. It had recorded 512 original miles in two decades. In 2004 the car was fully restored. This incredible Cobra is unquestionably one of the most authentic and original 427s in the world. The car made $ 1.8m. |
