The thing is - the AC/Shelby Cobra MK III, more commonly referred to as the "427" was designed with engineering input from Ford in 1964, but was still built by AC in England and shipped to the US starting in 1965 where Shelby's operation fitted the Ford derived drivetrain and finished the cars out. Unless you're referring to something else altogether, Ford never built a "consumer version Gen3 Cobra".
