History[ edit]
The first AC Cobra, CSX2000, at the Shelby Museum Shelby American was founded by Carroll Shelby in 1962 to build and market high performance parts and modified cars for individuals. The company was based at Santa Fe Springs, California (1962), Venice, California (1962–1967). Production was moved to the A. O. Smith Company located in Ionia, Michigan (1968-1985), Whittier, California (1986–1998) and Las Vegas, Nevada (since 1998).

The Ford Mustang platform was adapted by Shelby American to produce the Shelby GT350, and Shelby GT500.

Shelby American cars made their mark in American and international sportscar competition. The Cobra was campaigned successfully in the United States Road Racing Championship series and was the platform for the Shelby Daytona Coupe that competed successfully in the GT class of the 1964 and 1965 World Sportscar Championship seasons. The Daytona Coupe finished first in class at the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans and achieved the first title for an American constructor in the World Sportscar Championship in 1965. From 1965 to 1967, Shelby American also provided support to Ford's World Sportscar Championship effort with the Ford GT40's, clinching the championship with a 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Shelby had success the following year, with wins at Sebring and Le Mans with the GT40 Mark IV.

Shelby American moved in 1998 to Nevada becoming the first automobile manufacturer in Nevada and began production.

In 1999 the company was sold to Venture Corporation, for production of the Series I model. Cobra production was not part of the transfer of ownership.

In 2003, a new holding company was formed called "Carroll Shelby International, Inc.", and it was taken public. Shelby Automobiles was also created as a subsidiary and manufacturing arm of the new company.

In 2004, Shelby Automobiles purchased Shelby American Inc. and the assets to the Series I model.

On December 15, 2009, Carroll Shelby International announced in a press release that Shelby Automobiles was being renamed to "Shelby American" in celebration of the 45th anniversary of 427 Cobra and GT350.
