Dave FriedmanShelby Cobra: The Shelby American Original Color Archives 1962-1965

Note, this is the same book as the MotorBook Classics version, except released earlier and in hardback.Finally, a no frills photo book of the early days. It’s a mix of 50/50 of never seen pictures to previously seen pictures. Very decent book, a race by race (main races) look at the Cobras and the team and drivers and shop. If this book could be mixed with the Shelby’s Wildfire sections on the early Cobras, that would be a book of the ages.

I am planning to build a replica Cobra and wanted a book that showed lots of pictures of the original. This book delivers in spades. As a complete plus the commentary by the author is great, lots of little inside details that I never knew.Instead of just looking at the pictures like I planned, I find myself reading the text and enjoying the heck out of it.

Exactly as advertised.

I bought this for my father, who is waiting on hist 572 kit Cobra build to be finished. He loved to see the history, although he already knew most of it. He really liked the photos.

Great book, fantastic photos I usually find certain books uninteresting,not this one couldnt put it down

An anthology of the Cobra Shelby years, by their official photographer. Quality pictures and interesting commentary. One of the cornerstones of a Cobra library.

Its ok, the book is a little beaten up but everything looks like it said in the description

Great book

Just what my husband wanted

This is a great book to get some background about the man, the myth and the story. It is not terribly in-depth, but it has a good chronology and some wonderful period photographs!
