Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
From the official team photographer for the Shelby American organization comes this fine presentation of original photographs that chronicle the development, production, and racing of Caroll Shelby's great Cobra automobile. The Cobra redefined the sports car and dominated racing in the 1960s. Interestingly, it is as popular today as it was 30 years ago. This volume's somewhat limited text tells the story of the Cobra through firsthand accounts by Shelby, factory personnel, and racing crew members. Other books on the Shelby Cobra do not focus on the racing aspect of the car, nor did their authors have access to the firsthand accounts and spectacular photo opportunities allowed Friedman. Recommended for public libraries.

Good source book on Cobras,
By Senor Fox (Old Dominion) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shelby Cobra: The Shelby American Original Color Archives 1963-1965 (Hardcover)
If you are restoring a Cobra or building a replica, this is the best source of photographs you will find. Or if you are nostalgic for late 60's roadracing, you will find this an excellent book.

Shelby Cobra by Dave Friedman,
By
This review is from: Shelby Cobra: The Shelby American Original Color Archives 1963-1965 (Hardcover)
Dave Friedman doesn't write highly technical books. What he does provide is outstanding pictorial detail of his subjects. Mr. Friedman was the official photographer for Shelby American during the Cobra years, and as such he had unprecedented access to the inner workings of Shelby. His photographs are expertly done and show the cars from all perspectives and angles. Photos include construction shots and detail close-ups of virtually every part of the 260, 289, 427, and 428 Cobras. He also provides a narrative history of the drivers and players who made Cobra a legendary name even in its own time.
I recommend this book highly for all of those who are interested in the Shelby Cobra and its derivitives, including the Dragonsnake and the Daytona. Many photos are in color and provide an unmatched record of these cars as they were at the time of their historical greatness. Model builders will find this book supremely attractive. Bob

Freidman's 1989 Shelby book.,
By
This review is from: Shelby Cobra: The Shelby American Original Color Archives 1963-1965 (Hardcover)
I had the opportunity at the local library to read the book and look at it, Being a Corvette Guy, I really don't care for Fords. But Friedman's Pictures are great as well as his writing. The book I picked up, If I am not mistaken was the 1989? Hardcover, with Yellow Cobra on the Cover. Shelby American Original Color Archives, Since Dave was the Official photographer for shelby you get a good look behind the scenes, I recommend this book and Trevor Legate's book. Of course Being A Corvette Man, My Favorite Book is Friedman's Grand Sport, Which To me was the Cobra Killer.
