Hi, The early road racing cars were Cooper Fords nicknamed King Cobra but in 1967 Shelby American fielded a three car Can Am team and they were officially Shelby's King Cobra. The King Cobra was one of the first aluminum monocoque Can Am cars produced. Chassis was designed by Len Terry in England and Phil Remington (Shelby American) was the constructor. As mentioned, Dan Gurney and Shelby owned AAR and the King Cobra was the only Cobra with Eagle suspension parts and Weslake heads. Sun Dude I hope this helps!!
