Try Not to Drool Over the Most Iconic Classic Cars of the ’50s and ’60s

Shelby Cobra 427

The Shelby Cobra 427 (known as the AC Cobra 427 outside of the United States) was the result of a partnership between the British AC Cars, car designer Carroll Shelby and American companies Ford. The goal was, essentially, to create a solid racing competitor to the Chevrolet Corvette – the car used a popular British body with a powerful American V8 engine inside.
