I read an interview once where Shelby said he'd produced 165 different cars of which only 8 every made him any money. But a few of those were very special. I've ridden in a Cobra and the article is true you will never forget the experience.
As a teenager I lusted over the Shelby Cobra, and also the Mustang Fastbacks. I still think the Cobra is one of the most gorgeous muscle cars ever.
It says something about the car when even the Shelby replicas of are almost as desirable as the original.
