What better way to celebrate a birthday than on the Monterey Peninsula at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance? That’s the thought process for the Shelby Cobra 427, which turns 60 this year. To mark the special occasion, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will have a special Cobra class.
“Carroll had a strong personal connection to Pebble Beach, racing and winning here in the 1950s and later sharing his cars at the Concours, so we are honored to feature his Cobras this year,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “The design, performance, and historic wins of these iconic race cars highlight the legendary pairing of Carroll and Shelby American with AC Cars and Ford Motor Company.”
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance announced some of the Cobras that will be participating. Those entries include the first Cobra production Roadster sold to a customer, an unmodified Narrow Hip Roadster (1 of 10 surviving), a 427 S/C Roadster (1 of just 29) and the last Shelby Cobra 427 built.
