Making of Shelby Cobra, the All American Car
Shelbys are some of America’s most powerful, with some boasting more than 1,000 horsepower, and top speeds well higher than most.
This year marks 50 years since Carroll Shelby produced the first Cobra. According to the Shelby museum, located at its headquarters in Las Vegas, Shelby “took the antiquated AC ‘Ace’ chassis, inserted a new small block Ford engine, and re-engineered the car to handle all the additional power. Weighing only 2,020 pounds, the Cobra easily vanquished sports cars from Jaguar, Chevrolet, Porsche, Aston Martin, and others. And in 1965, Shelby’s Cobra team wrested the sports car racing world championship from Ferrari.”
