When one talks about dream cars, AC’s Shelby Cobra almost always finds a spot in every car enthusiast’s list. Since it was first manufactured in the early sixties, the cobra has become an icon amongst performance cars. Its unique design and the power and speed it posses has easily made it a symbol of power and class. It is not surprising then that this car along with its signature dual stripes has long been a favorite of collectors everywhere. Even Hollywood has shown an affinity to the Cobra, featuring it in movies like Bad Boys, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Austin Powers and the recent box office Iron Man. Movie directors have used the classic to somehow subliminally exude aggressiveness, masculinity and strength in the characters they create in the big screen.
The Shelby Cobra was pretty much a dream car even on its inception.
