On January 13, customers will be able to place an order for a limited edition Shelby Cobra 427, designed to celebrate the iconic car's 50th anniversary.  

Just 50 of the limited edition Cobra 427 vehicles with all gold anniversary badges will be made, according to the automaker, so if you're thinking of ordering one you may want to act fast.

Each vehicle comes with a special badge showing their number ( "1 of 50", "2 of 50") in this limited production run and CSX serial number (CSX4550-CSX4599). Each Cobra will be offered with either an aluminum or fiberglass body as well.

Aluminum-bodied vehicles will be available in Guardsman blue with Wimbledon white stripes or polished aluminum, with or without stripes.

Features confirmed for the 50th Anniversary model includes:

-Front & Rear 427 Cobra emblems

-50th Anniversary side badging

-50th Anniversary 427 Cobra car cover

-Engine plate with Shelby CSX identification number

-Steering Wheel 427 Cobra 50th Anniversary emblem

The fiberglass models will come just in blue with white stripes.  

Interior and exterior features includes Shelby custom black carpeting, Shelby vinyl, leather optional seats and 15-inch Shelby spec reproduction standard wheels.

The fiberglass edition sells for $117,995, whereas the aluminum option will cost customers in the United States $179,995. It's worth noting that you will have to provide the engine and transmission yourself, which means each vehicle will be a little bit more when including those expenses.

Orders open officially on Tuesday, January 13 at 10 a.m. PST.
