This special book was owned by Carroll Shelby and presented to Ms. Carol Connors who wrote the song Hey Little Cobra. The song was made famous by the Rip Chords and re-recorded by many other groups. Ms Connor, went on to write numerous songs and one of her most recent song was: The Theme from ROCKY. Carroll Shelby gave her this book when he gave her, her first of three Cobras. She signed the book and gave to me. Carrol Shelby's signature is boldly on the front and inscribed " Love you, "You little shi*" Carroll Shelby. Ms. Connor's tells me he always called her "A Little shi*" Carol Connors is pictured on page 30. She is still very active in music and a great pleasure to talk to.
