Shelby Cobra 289 CSX 2000

What made the Shelby Cobra 289 CSX 2000 one of the rarest cars ever made? The Shelby Cobra 289 CSX 2000 was part of Carroll Shelby’s fleet for decades, but the styling of the car was much more stripped down than the production version (via Autoweek).

Because Carroll Shelby enjoyed speed, that’s exactly what the Shelby Cobra 289 CSX 2000 was built for. There are very few performance cars in the world that can drive and handle how the Shelby Cobra 289 CSX 200 does. Indeed, the 289 CSX 2000 was sold at auction for a high price, but the car remained highly coveted in the performance industry.
