The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles: Cobras, Mustangs & Super Snakes

Author: Colin Comer

In 1962 a sucessful race driver named Carroll Shelby, a man with an itch to build a sports car, unleased the Shelby Cobra on the world. The car, a petite AC sports car with a Ford V-8 engine stuffed under its hood should have been an instant anachronism. Instead, the Cobra proved to be the hottest thing on four wheels, dominating race tracks from Laguna Seca to Le Mans.

Shelbys are the most iconic performance cars in the history of the American auto industry. This lavishly illustrated work conducts readers through Shelby American's forty-plus years. An exhaustive review of American high performance, from the first Cobra produced in 1962 through today's fire-breathing, world-beating Shelby GT500KR Mustang, The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles offers an in-depth look at the ultra high-performance cars that have made Carroll Shelby a living automotive legend. With extensive details, specs, and photographic coverage, this book is the ultimate resource on AmericaÍs most exotic performance car.
