Shelby American Inc. 50th Anniversary Cobra
In 1965 Carroll Shelby put everyone on notice that he was ready
to answer any challenge. The small block Daytona coupe won the World
Manufacturer's championship and the 427 Cobra was born to dominate on the track
and street. It was an immediate success dominating the a Production
class in SCCA and winning championships for several years running. It was truly
America's first Super car.
This is the one Shelby collectors world-wide have waited for! To
celebrate it's 50-year anniversary Shelby American offered a limit of only 50
427 anniversary Cobras. They all came with special gold 50th anniversary badging, logos and features. Order banks opened Tuesday, January 13th 2015 at
11am Mountain Standard Time (10am PST) & all 50 units were promptly “sold-out” within minutes.

An American Classic
Shelby American built the big block Cobras specifically to
conquer all other sports cars, both American-made and European. With an all new
coil spring independent suspension, larger passenger compartment, upgraded
brakes, wider track, fatter Goodyear-brand tires and a big block 427 side-oiler
Ford engine, the Cobra rocked the world. In its first year of production, the
big block Cobra captured the SCCA's coveted A Production
championship. The Cobras also ran rampant in sanctioned drag racing series
nationwide.
True to the Original
The 427 Shelby Cobras retain everything from the authentic style
suspension to the graceful body lines, but are upgraded to contemporary
standards. Shelby American uses the same leather that one would find in high
end cars, modern brake discs, a stronger frame and the bodies are available in
either aluminum or fiberglass.
