A bit 'will be inserted wherever the 50th anniversary commemorative plaques, bearing the model number. For the rest everything will stay true to the model of 1962. "50 years after its launch, the Shelby Cobra is still an international symbol of high performance," said John Luft, President of Shelby American.
