Description: Carroll Shelby’s The Cobra Story Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Excellent, close to pristine book and dust jacket. It is very hard to find 1974 reprint of the very rare 1965 First Edition. Do your research. I am confident that you will not be able to find a better example of this book offered on eBay or elsewhere. This one is near perfect!I grew up in Dearborn and lived close to the Ford Proving Grounds and Engineering center. I have been collecting Ford Motor Company books and memorabilia since 1960. I purchased this book in 1974 (50 years ago) but I have never read it. I have looked through the pages and photos at the book's center, but it has otherwise been on a bookshelf along with a lot of my other "Ford stuff."As can be seen in the photos, this book looks new and is clean, tight and square. The dust jacket is crisp and clean and shows some very minor shelf wear. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining or highlighting of text or writing in the margins. The actual hardcover front, spine and back are in near perfect condition. Please see the enlarged photos as they tell the story regarding the book's remarkable condition.The Cobra Story by Carroll Shelby as told to John Bentley. Motorbooks International, 1974. Reprint of the original 1965 Trident Press edition. From DJ flap:“While still a relatively unknown driver, Shelby envisioned what he figured would be an exciting and marketable automobile: a sports car in the light, responsive European tradition, but with a big American V8 up front. In 1962 his dream became a reality, the hottest thing on wheels. Book includes thrills, some spills and plenty of his own brand of earthy humor and personal insight.” The pictured book is the exact copy that you will receive. Let me know if I can answer any questions. Shipped via USPS Media Mail to U.S. addresses only. No international sales.
