1965 Ford Shelby Cobra In 1961 a retired race car driver had a dream to find a sports carthat could fit a more powerful V8 motor. That man was CarrollShelby and that car became the Shelby Cobra. Shelby wrote to ACasking them to join him on this endeavor and they agreed should asuitable engine be found. He initially contacted Chevrolet but withthe recent introduction of the Corvette, they refused to join himon the project. His next stop was Ford who understandably wantedsomething to compete with the Corvette and thus the Cobra was born.These cars have an extensive history in the automobile world andmake for some of the coolest street cars on the road. These factoryrace cars can fetch in the millions of dollars nowadays which iswhy car builders are turning towards replicas to create their dreamcars.
