COBRAS The Building of the Leaf Spring Cars

"COBRAS, The Building of the Leaf Spring Cars" is a road map to how the 1962-1964 leaf spring Cobras originated and were put together by AC Cars in England. The book also details how the cars were completed in the United States by both European Cars in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and especially by Shelby American in Venice, California. The thirteen chapters cover all major Cobra components consisting of chassis construction, aluminum body forming, engine development, driveline components, upholstery, and finishing techniques. Each chapter is illustrated with dozens of rare original black-and-white factory photographs and background material, such as component illustrations and parts numbers. The research information that is included in these pages is the product of well over a dozen of the most knowledgeable Cobra researchers, historians and restorers in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
