Shelby American records show CSX3011 built as a 427 competition car and completed on 5/14/65, painted guardsman blue with white stripes, fitted with 6.5” and 8.5” Hali brand wheels. CSX3011 was sent to the show car department and toured the country with the Cobra Caravan and used in the well-known publicity photo.

It was featured in the 1965 Sports Car Graphic Magazine article on the Cobras. Then on display at Hi-Performance Motors in Los Angeles, California, for their open house. Then in early 1966, it was rented to MGM Studios for use in filming of the Elvis Presley movie Spin Out, where it was driven by “Elvis”. Then after return from MGM, CSX3011 was sold to Moises Solana c/o Ford of Mexico, in Mexico City for a price of $11,393. It included a rare dry sump oil system and Koni shocks. Moises Solano was a well-known Grand Prix driver, having raced in Formula One for BRM. Solana raced the Cobra until 1969.It then sells to Juan Carlos Bolanos, who continued to race it. It is then purchased by Jim Southard Marietta, Georgia in the late 1970’s. He has it restored by “Cobra Restorers” in Kennesaw, Georgia. It then sells to Lorne Leibel of Ontario, Canada. Lorne Leibel sells the car in the late 1990’s and some 15years later buys it back from the same fellow via the Mecum Auction in 2006. He then sends it to Cobra Automotive to be restored.

A big effort was made to restore this Cobra accurately. The end result was a Gold Award at SAAC 36.
