Carroll Shelby, the man who had started it all, looked on and in 1989 began to plan the completion of the forty-nine original 427 Cobra Competition Cars which had not been built in 1965, filling in the previously allocated but unused CSX numbers from 3056 through 3100. Working with famed Cobra restorer Mike McCluskey, the first car was completed in June 1991, numbered CSX 3056. The origin or purpose of the so-called "Completion Cars" was never in doubt although some sensationalist media reports clouded their history.

CSX 3058 is the third Shelby Cobra 427 Completion Car built. Its history is documented along with the other Completion Cars in the Shelby American World Registry. Powered by a period-built 427 "Side-oiler" engine, it is essentially as it would have been built in 1965 by AC Cars and Shelby American, differing only in details in the interest of strength and safety such as thicker aluminum in the body, MIG welded chassis with thicker rails, polyurethane A-arm bushings and a fuel cell.
