Über den Autor

Colin Comer is a respected authority on collector cars and a noted champion for the cars, people, and history of Shelby American. Comer’s writing is well known from his many years as editor-at-large for Sports Car Market and American Car Collector magazines, an editor for Hagerty magazine, and a contributing editor for Road & Track magazine. Comer has appeared in such diverse publications as The New York Times, Business Week, and USA Today, among others. He is the author of the critically acclaimed books Million Dollar Muscle Cars, The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles, and Shelby Cobra Fifty Years, and co-author of The All-American Muscle Car. When not writing about cars, Comer enjoys maintaining his own eclectic collection of vintage cars and is an accomplished racer and pilot. He and his family live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or, in Comer’s words, “fifty-two miles from Road America.”

In 1966, Richard J. Kopec was crew chief for a 289 Cobra competition car that raced successfully in the Northeast and at the ARRC in Riverside, California. That experience was followed by three years in the Army including a year in Vietnam where he was a highly decorated combat infantry officer. After his military service, Richard attended college earning a degree in Special Education. In 1975 he was a founder of the Shelby American Automobile Club. Richard became editor of the club’s magazine in 1979, a position he still holds today. He has authored several books on Cobras and Shelby cars, edited ten Shelby/Cobra Registries, and written hundreds of articles on these legendary cars. Richard restored and vintage raced a GT350 R-Model for 18 consecutive years. He resides in Sharon, CT.
