    It's always fascinating to see fans in a foreign country discover the Cobra. And amazing how they can find enough material for a magazine. The latest one is called 427 Magazine. Somewhere on their site there's a way to make it read in English, but since I can't read French, I can't find the button. Anyway the table of contents shows what's there in their first issue. Now the trick is to find out how to order it. If anyone out there speaks French and can tell us, thanks in advance for posting it. It's 5.95 Euros which should be under $7 or so, not counting Air Mail.

    EDITO :

    CE MAGAZINE SERA BIENTÔT DISPONIBLE...SOYEZ PATIENT !

    Depuis plus de 40 ans, le mot Cobra évoque, pour les amateurs d'automobile de tout âge, l'automobile ultime, la puissance démesurée, l'accélération à couper le souffle, la performance brute, bref le rêve à l'état pur.
    La Cobra est née du cerveau de Carroll Shelby, ancien vainqueur des 24 heures du Mans en 1959, qui ne pouvant plus courir pour des raisons de santé, reporta sa passion sur son écurie de course naissante. Il eut alors l'idée de greffer un gros V8 américain dans une légère caisse anglaise et cette idée géniale concorda avec l'envie de Ford de lutter contre l'arrivée de la Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport en compétition.
    La Cobra 289, mélange d'AC et de Ford, trusta les plus grandes victoires, aussi bien aux USA dans les championnats USRRC que NCCA, qu'en Europe si bien qu'elle fut sacrée Championne du Monde en 1965. Si les premières versions étaient équipées du small block 260 cubic inches, puis rapidement du 289 cubic inches, c'est pourtant l'image de la 427, au palmarès pourtant plus léger, qui marquera l'histoire à jamais.
    Le big block 427, soit environ 7 litres de cylindrée, développait 425 chevaux en version route et 485 chevaux en version course. Il équipait également les GT 40 Mk 2 qui gagnèrent les 24 Heures du Mans 1966. C'est un moteur mythique qui évoque à lui seul la puissance brute, la force indestructible, l'invincibilité. C'est pourquoi, nous avons décidé d'appeler ce magazine, dédié aux créations de Carroll Shelby, 427 Racing.
    C'est également Carroll Shelby qui fut chargé par Ford de fiabiliser et de faire courir la GT40, née Lola en Angleterre et c'est lui qui inventa le concept de la Muscle Car en transformant une paisible Ford Mustang en bête de course répondant au nom de Mustang Shelby 350 GT.
    Qu'il en soit remercié, à travers ces pages dédiées à toutes ses créations, Cobra, GT 40, Shelby GT350 et 500.
    Mais tout succès à son revers et le faible nombre de véhicules produits, 1003 Cobra (1962-1967), 113 GT40 (1964-1969) et 2 940 Shelby 350 GT (1965-1966) ne pouvaient répondre à la demande de plus en plus forte, des amateurs d'autant que la rareté faisant envoler les prix, certains modèles sont aujourd'hui devenus inabordables pour le commun des mortels. C'est ainsi qu'apparurent les premières répliques. De Cobra 427 en premier (Arntz en 1978) puis de GT40 (GTD en 1984). Enfin, toutes les pièces étant disponibles en reproduction pour la restauration d'une GT 350, il devint facile d'en faire un clone parfait.
    La qualité et la fidèlité n'étant pas l'apanage de tous les fabricants de répliques, nous ne parlerons que de certaines marques, qui s'obligent à conserver l'esprit des créations de Carroll Shelby.
    Nous espérons que ce magazine trimestriel vous plaira. Si c'est le cas, merci de le dire à vos amis ! A bientôt.

    TO SEEK: To include the old numbers Car & Motor bike > car > 427 Racing n° 1 - 100 pages - X - 5.95 € EDITO: THIS MAGAZINE WILL BE SOON AVAILABLE… ARE PATIENT! For more than 40 years, the word Cobra has evoked, for the amateurs d' car of any age, l' ultimate car, disproportionate power, l' acceleration to cut the breath, the rough performance, in short the dream with l' pure state. The Cobra was born from the brain of Carroll Shelby, old victorious 24 hours of Mans in 1959, which not being able more to run for health reasons, deferred its passion on its incipient racing stable. It had l' then; idea to graft large American V8 in a light English case and this brilliant idea agreed with l' envy of Ford to fight against l' arrival of the Chevrolet Corvette Great Competitive sport. Cobra 289, d' mixture; AC and of Ford, trusta greatest victories, as well in the USA in championships USRRC as NCCA, qu' in Europe so well qu' she was crowned World champion in 1965. If the first versions were equipped with the small block 260 cubic inches, then quickly of the 289 cubic inches, c' is however l' image of the 427, with the lighter prize list however, which will mark l' history forever. The big block 427, is approximately 7 liters of cubic capacity, developed 425 horses in version road and 485 horses in version race. It also equipped the WP 40 Mk 2 which gained the 24 Hours of Mans 1966. C' is a mythical engine which evokes with him only the installed capacity, the indestructible force, l' invincibility. C' is why, we decided d' to call this magazine, dedicated to creations of Carroll Shelby, 427 Racing. C' is also Carroll Shelby which was charged by Ford with making reliable and to make run the GT40, born Lola to England and c' is him which invented the concept of the Muscle Because by transforming a peaceful Ford Mustang into animal of race answering in the name of Mustang Shelby 350 WP. Qu' he is thanked for it, through these pages dedicated to all his creations, Cobra, WP 40, Shelby GT350 and 500. But any success with its reverse and the low number of produced vehicles, 1003 Cobra (1962-1967), 113 GT40 (1964-1969) and 2.940 Shelby 350 WP (1965-1966) could not answer the increasingly keen demand, of the amateurs d' as much as the scarcity making fly away the prices, unquestionable model are aujourd' today become inaccessible for the common run of people. C' is thus qu' the first counterparts appeared. Of Cobra 427 in first (Arntz in 1978) then of GT40 (GTD in 1984). Lastly, all parts being available in reproduction for the restoration d' a WP 350, it became easy d' in making a perfect clone. Quality and fidelity n' not being l' prerogative of all the manufacturers of counterparts, we will speak only about certain marks, which s' oblige to preserve l' spirit of creations of Carroll Shelby. We hope that you will like this quarterly magazine. If c' is the case, thank you to say it to your friends! So long.

    Hi, I am the editor publisher of this Cobra/GT40/Shelby's devoted magazine. It should be a quarterly but I am late on issue number 2 as I also work on the new distribution system where you can buy the printed edition. It's called www.o-kiosk.com
    On this website, you can fold on all the pages of the magazine of your choice with your mouse but can't read them because it is too small. So if you like the magazine, you can buy a printed edition easily and get it by mail. This website will be soon also for US publications and I may have an english edition.
