Full history in Shelby American Cobra/Mustang Guide.

King Cobra

Roger, did they build a King Cobra with a 429 Ford engine? I remember a 429 Ford powered CanAm car that Mario Andretti blew up.

JoeC I'am not an expert in Can-AM cars.

Thanks copo, that is the most info anyone has had on this subject to date.
I do think that the car I am thinking about was a BB. But I will keep trying to find out more.
The pics you attached did have a resemblance to the car but as I recall it looked a little wider and lower with much larger rear tires. Fenders more flared, etc.
It very well could have been a SB car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

That's it copo. You are da man. Where in the world do you come up with all those pics.
Thanks again.
I knew it was bigger than the other previous pic. This car was bad to the bone, the day I saw it.

Mike,
With owning a vintage Team Shelby Trans Am car I have everything ever published on Shelbys, I will go through and see what I can locate for you.

Good friend and long time local racer, Tom Moore, took thousands of pictures and movies from Green Valley and other tracks he frequented. Tom began racing his new '63 Corvette in 1963 and has raced thousands of times since then.
Some of his slides are amazing. I convinced him to put together about 70 for the Waco NCRS event in 2002 and he presented a power point display. Don Yenko in a L88 Corvette. Dick Thompson in a Mustang. The #1 Grand Sport with electrical tape holding the front end together and on a crummy old trailer. We only scratched the surface of what he has. I'm sure he took a shot of the CAN AM car.

Tim,
Would he have any photos of the #2 Team Shelby Trans Am Mustang in 68? It was yellow/black then Ford corporate blue. Drove by Horst Kweck, Parnelli Jones, Dan Gurney, and David Pearson. Let me know. Jerry Titus was driving the #1 car for that team in 68 until 69 when he joined Pontiac racing the first TA Firebird which Jim Mattison now owns and is raced by his son JB in vintage TA class.
