1966 Shelby AC Cobra – Codename – Ashley

Carroll Shelby left an undeniable mark on the automotive world and his car designs were unlike anything else on the market. The Shelby AC Cobra had a great design and fast performance, and it became iconic. The Ford 427 cu.-inch V8 engine was under the hood of this car, and this massive engine produced over 400 horsepower. The Cobra had an amazing amount of performance for something that was basically a bite-sized ride (via Hemmings).

The Shebly AC Cobra is one of the most iconic sports cars that were ever built. Roadsters have a unique spot in the automotive landscape. New-age roadsters like the Plymouth Prowler were based on this one. From the performance to the appearance, there aren’t a lot of cars that managed to create the unique reputation that the AC Cobra did.
