Shelby Cobras tend to lead fairly rough lives. I mean, who wouldn’t buy one and then flog it when it was new? That’s why it’s more common to see them treated as race cars and not as common to see them treated like other muscle cars, with much of an emphasis on retaining the original drivetrain and with restorations complete down to the jack and jack handle. But that’s what we see with this 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller’s description:
