An original Shelby Cobra raced by three F1 drivers can be yours.
The Shelby Cobra is a common sight at car shows thanks to a burgeoning replica business, but original cars are exceedingly rare—and the 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra headed to auction next month is among the rarest of Cobras.
After Shelby American founder Carroll Shelby achieved success installing a small-block 289 Ford V-8 in the lightweight AC Ace chassis to create the Cobra, he upped the ante with the big-block 427 model. The bigger, more powerful engine required a redesigned chassis, and the bodywork was also modified with bigger fender flares and a gaping front intake.The cars proved potent on the track in the early 1960s, dominating the SCCA A-Production class for example.
