The Shelby Cobra
Shelby Cobra is one of the rarest and most expensive cars that was ever sold in the US. In fact just recently, one of them was sold for $5.5 million, a new record for all the auctioned cars in the world. This car has really amazed a lot of car aficionados because of its special features and classic design. Some enthusiasts believe that it should be the American muscle car of all time. But not all experts agreed.
Carroll Shelby was the main mastermind behind this elegant automobile. His first race took place in 1958 followed by his final race shortly after that. He was forced to retire due to heart problems he thought he can handle even when racing. Unfortunately it was not safe for him to drive with this type of condition. But this ailment didn’t stop him from being involved with cars. After retiring, he became a car constructor with various companies. Even today, he owns a website where his merchandise can be found and his company’s history.
What I find so fascinating about Mr. Shelby, is the fact that he had such little exposure to the racetrack, but was able to build such a beastly vehicle, that could beat any car put up against it. There is only one reason behind this success and that would be his passion for racing. To me he is the type of guy that has no quit in him, just like his vehicle.
Going back to the Shelby Cobra model, this car had almost 500 horsepower. It weighed approximately 2,550 pounds and had a three speed automatic transmission. It could go for an estimated 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. Apart from these facts, many people have also stated that this model was one of Ford’s best Mustangs.
Another interesting fact is that a Shelby Cobra chassis alone can go for tens of thousands of dollars. Just recently on the popular TV show, Pawn Stars, an original Cobra chassis sold for $30,000! Then to have the car rebuild it cost another $50,000.
This alone should give you a very good idea of the value of this car, and how much it is sought after.
