Shelby's Muscle Performance
Shelby American was founded in 1962 by Carroll Shelby, a former race car driver and automotive designer, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company quickly gained fame for its high-performance muscle cars, particularly its work with Ford. Shelby's most iconic creation was the Shelby Cobra, which combined a lightweight British AC chassis with a powerful American V8 engine, resulting in a car that dominated 1960s motorsport.
Shelby is perhaps best known for its collaboration with Ford on the Mustang, producing legendary models like the Shelby GT350 and GT500, which delivered aggressive styling and race-ready performance. The company also played a key role in developing the Ford GT40, which famously defeated Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, securing four consecutive wins from 1966 to 1969.
Today, Shelby American continues to build high-performance versions of Ford vehicles, including modern GT500s, F-150 trucks, and special-edition Mustangs, all while maintaining the legacy of Carroll Shelby's vision: combining American muscle with world-class performance. 🏎️💥
