Shelby Europa

When Shelby introduced its line of mighty Mustangs, European enthusiasts took notice and soon the cars were popular on the continent and in the States. One of the first Shelby dealers was Belgian racing driver Claude Dubois (via Pony Site).

After Shelby production stopped in 1970, Dubois asked Shelby for the rights to produce a special line of European spec 1971/72 Mustangs under the Shelby name. Only about nine cars were made in two years, making the Shelby Europe an incredibly rare muscle car. Most got 351 V8 engines while some received the 429 Cobra Jet.
