Slalom Snake (1964)
Keen to show well in auto test competition, Shelby came up with the Slalom Snake to show the Cobra was about more than just straight-line speed. To improve the handling, the two Slalom cars built had Koni shock absorbers, front and rear anti-roll bars fitted, and Goodyear Blue Streak Sports Car Special tyres.
Both cars were finished in white with red stripes and red leather upholstery. They also had seat belts fitted, along with cooling ducts for the brakes and side exhausts to give better ground clearance on rougher autocross courses.
