A Tribute to Caroll Shelby

• 
• 

We all know that Carroll Shelby created the Cobra and went on to develop the Shelby Mustang and the Ford GT40. One of the first to recognize the Cobra's potential as a collector's item was Larry Miller who created the Larry H. Miller Total Performance Museum at Miller Motorsports Park. Sadly both Caroll and Larry are no longer with us, but the Cobras can still be enjoyed by all of us as the museum brings eight of their Cobras to the Intermountain Concours d'Elegance that will be held on September 222, 2012. Among the Cobras on display will be the third Cobra ever built, plus the car that caused Larry Miller to fall in love with Cobras, the one built for the 1963 12 Hours of Sebring. In its original color scheme, it was photographed to appear on the cover of "Hey Little Cobra," a record album recorded by The Rip Chords. The Intermountain Concours will prove to be a fitting tribute to both men.
