The Cobra Awakens: Acrylic Echoes of Sebring '64

BY Jean-Marie Corre

Shelby Cobra at Sebring – The art of British endurance racing, American style

This unique 1/1 acrylic painting by French automotive artist Jean-Marie Corre pays tribute to the Shelby Cobra in 1964 at Sebring 12 Hours, where it proved its mettle against the best of Europe. Behind the wheel, Bob Bondurant handed over to Lew Spencer, while Carroll Shelby, unmistakable in his Stetson, watched from the pits - part mentor, part mastermind.

The automobile painting evokes that fleeting moment just after a driver change: tension in the air, the heat of competition rising, and the unmistakable growl of a V8 about to be unleashed. The acrylic’s fluidity mirrors the Cobra’s raw power, while soft gradients hint at Florida’s obscure light and Sebring’s Track unforgiving surface.

Every brushstroke honors Shelby’s vision - turning a British AC into a red-blooded American contender - and celebrates the spirit of privateer excellence. Though it finished 5th overall, this car and its creators helped redefine American endurance racing on a global stage.

Whether you're a Cobra enthusiast, a Shelby collector, or an admirer of Carroll Shelby's vision, this painting is a tribute to grit, genius, and the timeless thrill of pushing limits.

For exhibition, collection, or legacy - gift the Cobra Shelby at Sebring acrylic painting, a singular moment in motorsport, now made timeless through this fabulous automotive artwork.

  • Shelby Cobra 1964: The American GT That Beat Legends

    The Shelby Cobra was born from Carroll Shelby’s daring vision: to fuse a lightweight British AC chassis with raw American V8 power. By 1964, the Cobra had evolved into a formidable force in international GT racing, challenging Ferrari and Jaguar on their home turf.

    The 289-ci (4.7L) version, used that year, was known for its brutal acceleration and razor-sharp handling. Despite being a privateer entry, it achieved factory-level performance thanks to Shelby’s meticulous engineering and hands-on involvement. That year, the Cobra team secured the FIA International Championship for GT Manufacturers - a first for an American constructor.

    Its distinctive proportions, flared fenders, and exposed side-pipes made it an icon of motorsport style. Many Cobras were campaigned by independent drivers and small teams, making each car’s race history unique and highly valuable to collectors.

    Authenticity is key in today’s market - original chassis with documented competition history command multi-million dollar valuations. The Cobra remains not only a symbol of American racing rebellion, but a benchmark of raw, analogue performance cherished by purists worldwide.

About the Artist.

The eye of an engineer, the soul of an artist

Jean-Marie is a self-taught artist whose passion is closely linked to the vintage cars his father collected. Engineer at a major french car manufacturer and painter in his spare time, he seized the opportunity of the health crisis to fulfill his childhood dream: to become a painter and exhibit his artwork at automotive events.

His work pays tribute to the golden age of motor racing (1950s-60s), a time when drivers were daring adventurers, driven by boundless courage. Jean-Marie strives to capture the essence of these suspended moments: uncovered faces, basic helmets, reflections on curved bodywork...

He composes his canvases like photographs taken by a photographer transported back in time, playing with light, light and shade, contrasts, and atmospheres. Acrylic allows him to enhance the details, while watercolor offers him more spontaneous freedom. Now recognized in the automotive art world, Jean-Marie offers a sensitive and poetic interpretation of classic cars.
