Ford's Shelby Cobra concept car features a 605-horsepower 6.4-liter aluminum V10 engine powering a 3,000-pound car that is shorter than a Mazda Miata.

It is based on a shortened Ford GT chassis and shares many components with its relative, but, like the small 1960s roadster that inspired it, it intentionally lacks such luxuries as a radio, side windows or a roof.

In 1965, Carroll Shelby introduced the Shelby GT350 version of the Ford Mustang fastback coupe, powered by a 306-horsepower high-performance version of Ford’s 289-cubic-inch Windsor small-block V8 with a high-rise intake manifold, a large four-barrel Holley carburetor, a Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed gearbox, and other performance upgrades. Convertibles were first offered for 1968. The last of the original generation of Shelby Mustangs were built for 1969, though a few hundred leftover cars were given 1970 serial numbers and minor cosmetic changes. The 1969 Shelby GT350 was powered by Ford’s new 290-horsepower 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 engine. This convertible was displayed at the 2002 Chicago Auto Show by the Volo Auto Museum.
