The AC Shelby Cobra was built during the 60′s and it had the perfect set up. The body had the classic British look and the monster engine was produced by Shelby in America. The car had the best of both countries and that is probably why it was so successful.

Since I was born in the 70′s, one of the first times I saw this car was in the 1976 movie The Gumball Rally which was inspired by the cannonball run. The film has a variety of vehicles but the main two cars which battle it out throughout the movie are the AC Shelby Cobra and Ferrari Daytona.
