Sorry Rdorman: I will agree that the Cobra was Shelby's idea and Lucas is the Prince of electrical darkness.

I have a very hard time agreeing that the success of the Cobra was a colaborative effort with AC. AC shipped the bodies and chasis. There contribution to the success of the Cobra pretty much stops there with some minor exceptions espeically as it pertains to the FIA Cobras, Daytonas and the 427.

In my opinion AC is given too much credit by some in the Cobra storey. Some credit they get for having the basic Ace platform. But it end pretty much there.
