1966 Shelby GT-350 Mustang - The 1966 Shelby Mustang set the standard for Shelby Mustangs to come. Each fastback had extra windows behind the b-pillars for better rear visibility when racing. Also included were scoops in front of the rear wheel-wells, a hood scoop, and the distinctive "GT350" racing stripe along the side rocker panel. 1965 Shelby GT-350 Mustang - Having built lots of race cars, Carroll Shelby knew what to do to take the Mustang’s “Falcon platform” and make it into a genuine racer. He knew what to take out and what to put it. The end result was an instant legend. As if the Corvettes had enough to deal with trying to catch the 427 Cobras, now they had Shelby Mustangs closing in on their rears. 1967 Shelby GT-500 Mustang - Even though Ford now had a hand in the design of the Shelby Mustang, it was still a serious tough-guy on the street scene. Across town at Chevrolet, designers were playing catch-up with their Z-28 version of the Camaro. 1968 Shelby Mustang - Ford restyled the Mustang in 1968, giving it a larger and more agressive front end. The Shelby version, with its grille-mounted fog-lamps looked tough as nails!" Many Mustang lovers felt that the Shelby version is what the Ford version should have been. - KST 1965 427 Shelby Cobra - If you ever get a chance to listen to Bill Cosby’s album “200 MPH” you’ll hear the amazing story of how Coz bumped into Carroll Shelby at the supermarket and got reprimanded for driving fast foreign sports cars. Shel told Coz that he was going to build Cobras for himself and Coz that would have dual-everything - dual roll bars, dual superchargers, dual horsepower, dual shifters, dual steering wheels, dual EVERYTHING!. (The last few “dual” items was Cosby’s schtick) 1965 427 Shelby Daytona Cobra - Racers are always looking for an edge over the competition. That’s what makes unlimited class racing so fascinating. As stunning as the 427 Cobra was, the Ferraris were nipping at Shelby’s heals. Daytona Super Coupe - The Daytona “Super Coupe” was supposed to be the next version of the Daytona Coupe. But when Ford pulled the plug on Shelby’s racing efforts, the Super Coupe came to a screeching halt. Henry Ford II was dumping MILLIONS into the GT40 program looking to stick-it to Enzo Ferrari over the failed buyout/takeover of Ferrari in the early ‘60s. So why would Ford want to support Shelby’s Daytona Super Coupe? It would have been competition for the GT40. That’s factory racing for you. Cobra Badge - Based on the fact that there were only 1,002 Cobras produced by Shelby, it’s a good bet that there are more Cobra badges that there were Cobras. Don't forget to bookmark us. |
