Evan,

Actually, the basic shape of the Cobra came first (ala: AC Ace), then Shelby (with some assistance from Dean Moon & Co) decided to install a SBF engine in the chassis of the AC Ace............The name for this creation is most certainly a Shelby decision........


Bill S.

PS: Now, back to more important questions..............


Which came first, the chicken, or the egg???????????????
