	Welcome to 65Cobra.com - a Site for '65 Cobra Enthusiasts
		Carroll Hall Shelby was born January 11, 1923 in a place called Leesburg, Texas, and looking down at their new baby boy it is probably safe to assume that Eloise Lawrence and Warren Shelby probably had no idea they were holding one of the great car designers of the 20th century in their hands.
		The Shelby Cobra is an American legend, born out of a combination of luck, determination, and the blood, sweat, and tears of its creator, Carroll Shelby.
		The 427 Cobra had a tube frame and redesigned coil spring chassis, and was essentially built to be a big motor on wheels that happened to have a couple seats attached to it for someone to strap in and hang on for dear life.

	1967 Shelby Cobra 427
		Shelby contacted Ford with regard to his idea and the possibility of acquiring this engine and Ford expressed a serious interest in his project.
		Cobra's impressive race history continued at the Bridgehampton 500 km race in September 1963 where Dan Gurney drove a Cobra to victory and in doing so, he became the first American driver to win an FIA race in an American car.
		The Shelby Cobras returned to the LeMans 24 our race in 1964 and completely eclipsed the previous years results by finishing fourth and first in the GT section, defeating the dominant Ferraris.

	Shelby Cobra Models - The History Of - Mustang and Fords Magazine
		When the Mustang was introduced, Shelby immediately recognized that the characteristics of this interesting car gave it the potential to also be a great road-course contender, and the GT350 was born.
		Shelby 10-spoke wheels in a diameter of 14 inches were available as an option, and some cars also came furnished with painted steel wheels.
		Shelby replicas are among the most interesting and worthwhile projects we can think of, and the end result will be a car with an excellent performance envelope and classic Shelby appearance.

		It read carroll shelby's rebirth of a legend/fia cobras and 427 s/c cobras/aluminum bodies by kirkham motors, and it meant Carroll Shelby, the father of the fastest and most famous American racing-roadster-turned-street-car ever, was back in the aluminum-bodied Cobra business after three decades.
		The Cobra was born in the early 1960s when Carroll Shelby, a gruff Texan who'd earned a measure of racing renown by winning LeMans in 1959, hit upon the notion of putting a big American engine (a Ford V-8) into a lightweight European racing roadster, the aluminum-bodied AC (Auto Carriers) Ace.
		Shelby was so impressed with Kirkham's replica that in 1997 he allowed it to be placed alongside Cobra originals in the paddock area at the Monterey Historic Races—an honor Shelby bestowed on no other maker.

		And if you're employing a professional assembler or performance shop to construct your Cobra for you, you'll be much more knowledgable (and perhaps more open to suggestions) when he recommends a certain procedure or a more expensive component over another alternative.
