#1 Shelby Cobra 427
Carroll Shelby was a genius, many thought him to be a mad genius when he set out to put a large American V8 motor in a small chassis of the British made cars. Enter the Shelby Cobra 427, considered to be on another level as far as performance goes. If you somehow could get your hands on an original one of these bad boys, it would blow your mind because they are worth well into the millions of dollars if the numbers all match up.The Cobra had roughly 450 hp, but in such a small car his thing was an absolute beast on the track and the street. No matter where you go, and what cars might be there, if you have an original 427 Cobra you will be the star of the show. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it’s loud and fast and it will turn heads wherever you go. That’s why we think it deserves to be at the top of this list, and all others like it as the top muscle car ever built.
