I know AC Cars LTD noted the "X" stands for eXport, but we all know AC was a subcontractor to Shelby American. Shelby American is the manufacturer of record. So who do you believe?? Like I said a gray area.

Who to believe, SAAC, why, because they have the actual notes, importation paperwork, engineering records and more directly from Shelby Inc. They do not rely on the memory of one man but the actual factory records from that time period. SHEESH, let's face it, whatever you are relying on is incorrect and move on already.

PS: Might I suggest you pick up a correct copy of the Cobra registry as it will put things in greater (and accurate) detail on this and every other chassis to leave AC cars Ltd........
