And he continues to this day... There will be a Shelby Cobra that will be available to people with more means than me. I was able to see the show on cable TV about the car. I will have to check locally to see how I can get my camera close to one somehow.

He stuffed a 260 cid Ford V8 in it and called it a Cobra. Later he stuffed the better 289 cid Ford V8 into it and then, built his own cars, using the original Ace as a template and somehow managed to stuff a 427 cid Ford NASCAR side-oiler V8 into it. And still later, built the famous "LeMans Coupe" which looked nothing like the original AC Ace. AC was kinda resurrected in the 80's and produced a Cobra "replica" that were known as AC Cobras. Apparently, recently, Cobras were made by Shelby with original left-over parts from the '60s... Christian
