Talk:SHELBY COBRA 427® (1966)/@comment-26878354-20160127055141

I have had the pleasure of riding in both versions of the cobra. The 427 and 289. The 427 can be identified from the front, it  has the second opening on the chin under the radiator opening for the oil cooler. Many racers back in the day claimed that this the most terrifying car they had ever driven. It was for me one of the best rides I have ever had. The 289 was no slouch either. Great fun. The 427 my freind had went for $6,000. Back in the sixties that was big bucks.

They also built a daytona coupe.

Awhile ago shelby had started to finish the last 15 or so complete cars from the original production run. All the profit goes to the heart association. They are going for millions.
