Cooper Type 61 Monaco King Cobra. Are you sure?
If you want to contact me about Forza Horizon 4 on K', you can either post in this thread on official forum or use the Contact button on top of the current page. The Monaco King Cobra is a remarkable piece of history, built by Carroll Shelby and the Shelby American team to race in the first year of the USRRC (United States Road Racing Championship).
At the end of the 1964 season, Shelby had been summoned by Ford to sort the GT40 program, which had suspended the production and development of the King Cobra. Unfortunately, the engine currently in the car is a replacement of the one blown by Don Ivy, a previous owner from the late 1960s.Though six total King Cobras were constructed through the 1964 season, this is one of few to be used over more than one season, and the only surviving chassis from 1963.“Can-Am” is slang for Canadian-American, and references the SCCA Canadian-American Challenge Series.Shelby referred to the cars as “Cooper Fords” while in production, but it was actually Shelby’s success at the 1963 Can-Am series earned him the true attention of Ford.
The car on display here is chassis CM/3/63.Upon arrival to the Shelby American factory in California, both chassis were reinforced to handle the impressive size and weight of a Ford V8 engine.CM/3/63 was the first Cooper Monaco to deliver a victory for Shelby at the Pacific Northwest Grand Prix in Kent, Washington, in September, 1963.
I thought the "King Cobra" was a Cooper Monaco Type 61M modified by Shelby with a Cobra-spec Ford V8 289 cu in (4.7 litre) motor. In the 1950s, Carroll Shelby became recognized as one of the most internationally successful drivers in the European race circuit. It was raced through the 1964 season, then retired and presumably torn down for parts.
The result of that collaboration was the Ford GT40.
After Ford scored the most desired outright win at Le Mans in 1966, Shelby once again had some time to explore his options. Mid-way through the 1964 season, Ford executives approached Shelby for help with designing a racecar for their entrance into the international race scene.

The Factory Shelby American Team. Green thoroughly researched the car’s history and development, and fully restored it in 1991.
In January 1963, however, he turned his sights towards the newly developed SCCA Can-Am series, created for purpose-built racecars, instead of stock production cars.Shelby quickly realized that his Cobras were no match for the custom builds in the Can-Am series, so he set to developing an entirely new build.
As he wouldn’t have the time nor the resources to build a car from the ground up, he put a call in to John Cooper, the co-founder of Cooper Car Company in the UK. Cooper’s latest race model, the 61M “Monaco,” fit Shelby’s needs, so he purchased two chassis: CM/1/63 and CM/3/63. Back to All Vehicles for Sale Print this Page Email this Page.
