About This Item

The Car I've Always Wanted

So, I would really like to get to CA before the rest of my family. I have actually driven all the way from NC to CA on I-40, now its time for my Cobra to take the ride. Thanks for your help, Melanie.

Though the Shelby Cobra’s conception, development, and production history are well known, there’s still a little controversy over the name and the way the cars were built. But there’s no disputing its originator: American Carroll Shelby, the former Ferrari race driver and occasional chicken farmer.

Shelby conceived the idea of shoehorning Ford’s forthcoming new small-block V-8 into the light and lively AC Ace in 1961. The first car was completed in February 1962, and deliveries to American customers began later that same year. This and subsequent Cobra models would be built over just a five-year period, but they were among the most charismatic and fearsome roadgoing sports cars ever produced. The British liked to call them AC Cobras, while Americans preferred Shelby-AC Cobra or plain Shelby-Cobra. Today, they’re remembered mainly -- and vividly -- as Cobra.

We tried to drop this off at the SneakySnake cache (where the TB wanted to go), but we DNFd the cache. So, we dropped it off at the nearest cache that was big enough. Thanks for letting us keep it for so long, but we really wanted to help it on its mission. Sorry we couldn't get it all the way there.
