Detailed Item Description:

THE AUTHOR LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED AS HE CHRONICLES THE COBRA STORY STARTING WITH AC'S EARLY HISTORY. HE RELATES HOW THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN AC AND TEXAN ENTREPRENEUR, SHELBY, CAME ABOUT AND HOW THE GIANT FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAME INVOLVED.

THE CAR'S EVOLUTION FROM ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE TO TODAY'S COBRA IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF ASSOCIATED CARS LIKE THE AC ACE, AC428, SHELBY MUSTANG, FORD GT 40 AND THE DODGE VIPER IS EXPLAINED. OF COURSE, THE COBRA AND COBRA-BASED COUPES HAVE A GREAT INTERNATIONAL RACING HISTORY AND THIS, TOO, IS RECOUNTED IN DETAIL, AS ARE THE RECENTLY RESOLVED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BRIAN ANGLISS OF AC AUTOKRAFT, THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND CARROLL SHELBY. APPENDICES DETAIL ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS, BUILD QUANTITIES AND PRESS REACTIONS TO ROAD TESTING ORIGINAL COBRA 289S AND 427S.
