...Ford's Carroll Shelby Cobra GT-500, a modified Mustang with heavy-duty suspension and transmission, hood scoops that ram extra air directly into the carburetors, and a new 428-cu.-in. engine that will be available next month on Ford's Mustang, Torino and Cyclone and Mercury's Cougar as well. Padded roll bars and shoulder harnesses are standard on the Shelby Cobra, as well they might be: the $4,200 car winds up to 150 m.p.h...
...this age would have great difficulty in getting insurance coverage for a car like this." As it was, the underwriters were only too honored to cover Prince Charles, 19, all proper and legal-like as the owner of his first car, a six-cylinder, 127-m.p.h. MGC-GT.

...Dino, boasting a Ferrari-designed engine, while O.S.I, of Turin produced the silvery Scarabeo. From France came the Matra 530, a Le Mans-styled model with a sloping tail, a Ford Taunus engine and a built-in roll-bar. Japan's Toyota came West with a 2,000 GT roadster labeled "James Bond." To be sure, Detroit-styled iron was there, but the square lines of Germany's new Opel Commodore seemed oddly more American than the nifty Mustangs and Cougars. And the canny Dutch drew crowds with a wicker-seated beach buggy named "Kini," built...
