The gorgeous No. 94 car is one of six Cooper-Monaco chassis that Carroll Shelby purchased in order to race in professional sports-car racing.

Carroll Shelby (left) and Dave MacDonald (seated) with the short-lived Cooper Monaco (King Cobra) project, 1963. Oh, it was fast alright– that wasn’t the problem. The King Cobra was powered by a “full race” 289 ci Ford engine and Huffaker four-speed transaxles (later swapped out for Colottis) that sat atop the beefed-up Cooper chassis and suspension. The car handled horribly– there wasn’t enough rubber or weight to handle the hulking horsepower.
