The 1966 Shelby Cobra represents the peak of Carroll Shelby’s legendary collaboration, blending lightweight British roadster design with massive American V8 power to create one of the most fearsome performance cars of the 1960s. Built to dominate both road and track, Cobras earned international racing success in SCCA and FIA competition while becoming instant icons of raw, uncompromising speed. Today, original 1966 Shelby Cobras are among the most coveted collector cars in the world, revered for their racing pedigree, visceral driving experience, and enduring status as symbols of American motorsport ingenuity. This Cobra recently competed against seven of the supposedly “best” 427 Cobras, in the world, at Pebble Beach. It reportedly finished 4th in class. It has several Concours wins in the U.S. and Europe.
