Product Description
Shelby American gained almost instant recognition from the moment the first Cobra hit the street. The entire original Cobra/Ford GT/Shelby Mustang period spanned just over eight years, eight years filled with countless racing accomplishments, the World Manufacturer's Championship, a 1-2-3 finish at LeMans, you name it and Shelby won it.

The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles: Cobras, Mustangs, and Super Snakes
I buy a lot of car books, and mostly just scan the photos.
Colin’s book is different.
Besides the incredible period pictures, most of which I’ve never seen before,
his keen knowledge of Shelby’s comes through in the text.
This is not someone who got an assignment to write a car book.
He loves these automobiles, and it shows.
Kudos.
Highly recommended.

My first car was a 69 Shelby Mustang GT 350 convertible and I drove it everyday from 1974 until 1984 and have been a student of Shelby and his cars ever since. Presently as an owner of three vintage Shelby Mustangs and two new Shelby Supersnakes I continue to drive and enjoy Shelby’s rolling works of art and have probably read every book ever written about him including the SAAC registry cover to cover. Colin Comer’s Sequel to his best selling Million Dollar Muscle car book is simply in my view the first Shelby book worthy of the man and his cars. More importantly even if your not a car person Comer’s writing style is witty and irreverent making it an easy and fascinating historical read for anyone curious about a certified American icon. Carroll Shelby will be remembered as one of the two or three most significant people in automotive history and this book artfully takes you along for the ride on one of the best adventures anyone ever turned into a life.

I just got my new book by Colin Comer, and, was truly amazed at the amount of new information, and especially, never before seen pictures that the author has been able to include. Lots of books have been written about Shelby cars, but, this has got them all beat by a wide margin.
