Lot #1408 - Powered by a V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission, CSX2177 is listed in the fourth edition World Registry of Cobras and GT40s. It was used for its first year for sales promotion in the Cincinnati, OH, Ford district and then returned to Shelby for reconditioning. However, instead of reconditioning CSX2177, it was sold as-is to Taylor American on June 3, 1965. It was later sold to Greg Bynum of Bakersfield, CA, where he raced it until it was sold in 1985 to Ronald O’Connor of Wauwatosa, WI. O’Connor vintage-raced CSX2177 over the next 18 years until he retired from vintage racing in 2003. In 2004 O’Connor restored and modified CSX2177 to its present condition for more serious racing.
