I think the Shelby legend gets lost in the familiar with the Cobara, but he was involved in so much other cool stuff. The Scaglietti Corvettes are drop-dead gorgeous. Do a search on this site for "Corvace" and see a Chevy-based AC that might have inspired Shel. And one of his employees, Ted Stanton, who figured out how to put the 427 in the Cobra was hired because of the work he did putting a 289 into a Healeyl. Most of been a great time to be a car guy in So Cal
