Today's post will be about an american muscle car the 1969 Shelby Cobra. A little history about this car. Shelby took normal versions of the Mustang and stripped it down adding performance parts to it making it the "Shelby Cobra". 1969 was the last year Shelby had a good relationship with Ford and it also marks the second year that the Mustang used the newer more powerful 428 Cobra Jet engine.
