Throughout its life, even after Cobra production ended, CSX 2000 never shied away from public view, nor did it change ownership. It has been featured in countless books and magazines, continually driven and critiqued in road tests, and a frequent motor show starlet. It was even used for a period of time by employees at the Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra in 2012, CSX 2000 took center stage at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Since then, it has been a prominent display at the Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n \u201cCarroll and Rob Myers discussed Cobra #1 many times, and they were good friends. Their agreement that Rob would offer the car for Carroll\u2019s Trust, after he was gone, was a very emotional one for both of them,\u201d stated Joe Conway, Co-Trustee with Neil Cummings of the Carroll Hall Shelby Trust. \u201cNeil Cummings and I are now simply carrying out Carroll\u2019s wishes, with no disrespect meant to the other individuals who meant so much to Carroll and did so much for his business and his Foundation over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n Shelby Myers, on behalf of RM Sotheby\u2019s added, \u201cWe feel both incredibly honored and privileged to have been entrusted with CSX 2000\u2019s sale by the Carroll Hall Shelby Trust. It is, without exception, the single most important and history-rewriting sports car ever offered at auction, after over 50 years of ownership and without ever leaving the care of its founding father. Supremely original and with extraordinary history, we\u2019re beyond thrilled to celebrate and present this national treasure in Monterey this August.\u201d<\/p>\n
