This Shelby Cobra promotional card highlights the CSX8000-series 289 Cobra Roadster, Shelby American’s continuation of the legendary small-block Cobra first introduced by Carroll Shelby in the early 1960s.

The front of the card features the beautifully styled CSX8000-series Cobra Roadster, a modern continuation model built to reflect the original Cobra’s timeless design and performance heritage. The reverse side provides a short history of the Cobra program along with specifications, chassis details, and features available on these continuation roadsters.

Printed on heavy promotional card stock, these cards were produced by Shelby American to showcase the modern Cobra continuation cars while honoring the legacy of the original Shelby Cobra sports car.

This example comes from the John Barnes Collection, a respected group of Shelby and Ford performance memorabilia. The card remains uncirculated and in excellent condition, making it a great collectible for Shelby enthusiasts and Cobra fans.
