“Although it’s best known today for its distinctive styling, back in the fall of 1962 Studebaker advertised its Avanti as “The World’s Fastest Production Car.” They backed up the claim with 29 new American national stock car records from the Bonneville Salt Flats, including the flying mile at 168.15 mph and 10 miles at 163.9 mph–and these were two-way averages. On the return leg of the 20-mile record run, the Avanti reached 178.5 mph. Hot shoe Andy Granatelli, who knew a thing or two about driving fast–and even more about promoting merchandise-was president of Paxton Products at the time, and one of his superchargers wailed under the Avanti’s hood”.

Just 35 examples of the Shelby GT350 were factory-fitted with a Paxton supercharger in 1967, they were internally marked as the “Cobra Supercharger,” and they offered a significant boost in power over the standard GT350, increasing output from 306 bhp to 390+ bhp. Some owners of supercharged GT350s have found that with some proper tuning they make a little more than 400-450 bhp – vastly more than…

Savage New Canaan What Makes the 1966 Shelby Cobra a True Muscle Auto?

Lots of people that understand about the 1966 Shelby Cobra learned it from the movie "Entered Sixty Secs," concerning a man, played by Nicolas Cage, who needed to take a number of collector cars in a 24 hour period, or be killed by a fierce mobster. However an actual 1966 Shelby Cobra was sold a few years ago for more than $5 million, which was a document cost for an American auto sold at a public auction.

 The 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Serpent is an 800 horse power cars, made by Carroll Shelby himself. He built them for his own personal use, and there were just two of them created. Shelby was present when the cars and truck was offered and said at the time that he developed the cars and truck since he wanted the fastest, meanest automobile when traveling. The 1966 Shelby is stated to still be the fastest road legal automobile available, reportedly able to do 0-60 in just 3 seconds. The Shelby was a modified race car. In addition to its 800 horsepower, V8 engine, it had a 3 rate transmission, rather than a manual transmission.

 Shelby constructed various other Cobras from 1962-1968, combining Ford V8 engines with lightweight British air conditioning Ace bodies. This combination produced a few of one of the most demanded American cars ever generated. The Shelby Super Serpent also showed off 2 Paxton superchargers in the top of the line 427 cubic inch V8 which essentially increased the horsepower of a production 427 Cobra. These Cobra competitors styled roadsters were made road lawful by including mufflers, bumpers as well as a number of other safety items to the package.

 The other Super Serpent was originally sold to comic Bill Cosby, who drove it when and afterwards returned the automobile saying it was simply too quick. Cosby's Super Serpent was ultimately damaged by one more motorist, that died in the accident. The Shelby was completed leaving the one cost an auction as the only Super Snake on earth. Experts consider the 1966 Shelby Cobra to be the epitome of high performance muscle cars and trucks.

 Shelby started developing Cobras in 1961 starting with the light-weight British Ace roadster as well as weding it to Ford's 260-cid V8. He followed up with a stronger 289 adjusting racing Cobras approximately 380 hp. By 1965, Carroll Shelby had produced 655 small block Cobras, when he presented a new version of the auto.

 Shelby widened the steel multi tube frame as well as enhanced the coil set up to take care of the Ford V8s better. The Ace roadster aluminum body was likewise modified right into a much more dynamic wind resistant flare raising rate output.

Studebaker Avanti 

The Avanti was based on a modified version of the Studebaker Lark 109″ convertible chassis and it was given a modified Studebaker 289 Hawk V8 engine mated to either a manual or automatic transmission. Fiberglass was chosen instead of steel for the body as it would reduce tooling costs and the car’s weight, plus it would draw favorable comparisons with the Corvette which had a body made from the same material.Unusually, a Paxton supercharger was offered as an option on the Avanti, the already powerful 240 hp V8 would be upped to 289 hp with it fitted, and it was a version of this supercharged model that would set the 29 world land speed records at Bonneville.The Avanti was also given power disc brakes up front with finned drum brakes in the rear, and independent suspension in the front with coil springs and a live axle in the rear on leaf springs – with anti-roll bars front and back.The curb weight of the car was 3,095 lbs (or 1,404 kgs) and it had similar performance to the Ford Mustang when it was released. Road & Track Magazine managed a 0-62 mph dash in 7.3 seconds onto a top speed of 120 mph in a supercharged R2 Avanti in period. Due to financial issues Studebaker would only build the Avanti from 1962 to 1963 with fewer than 6,000 made. The factory would be closed down and by 1966 Studebaker as an automaker would be no more.
