The Story
In the mid 60's, Ron Brooks was a member of Shelby's team building the famous CSX Series Shelby Cobras. Brooks and Shelby parted company in 1966 and Brooks opened up Brooks Racing across the street from Shelby's shop. Brooks began building Cobras and Racing them against Shelby's Cobras. One of the Ford engineers that was involved with both Shelby and the Brooks Racing Team bought this car after it was retired from the Brooks racing team. It was sold a few years later. Just a few years ago, the same Ford engineers found the car again, purchased it and restored it to it's original state including all the original race car markings and numbers.
