| Mr. COBRA! |
Carroll Shelby is my HERO and has been since I became aware of a little sports car called the "Cobra" back in the early 60s. I saw my first Cobra (AC
Bristol body) while I was in high school in Delaware and I was hooked.
This probably surprises you because of the Dodges on this website. You can thank a Ford dealer In Oklahoma City for turning me off of Fords and on to
Mopars.
The first car I really wanted, however, was a '67 GT500 but all I could afford was a "Sports Car Graphic" testing the '67 GT500 and GT350. Ironically
there was a test of the original Z28 in the same issue; all three were destined to be classics!

| Yeah, this is the magazine. Can't believe I kept it for almost 40 years. |
| This record came in an AMT model of a GT500 I bought back in 1968. It has Carroll Shelby driving (and narrating) a GT500 around Riverside International Raceway. |
| This was my only time in a Cobra, well, it was a "kit car". But what a rush even with a 351 Cleveland motor. |
| Mr. Shelby is also involved with children who need financial help because of organ, heart or tissue problems. Helping Mr. Shelby is assisting the most vulnerable of us. |
Carroll Shelby is my HERO!
| This is one glass of a set of 4 Cobra Pilsner glasses I bought in 1968 while I was stationed in Mississippi. The amazing thing is they have survived all of the shippers (and a duffel bag trip to Alaska) over the years. Right after I got married, my wife actually drank MILK out of one! That's the only one that has ever been used .... and I kept the wife BUT she's been warned! Notice that it has been signed by Carroll Shelby! |
