Evan, There is no doubt there wouldn't be a Cobra without Carroll Shelby and that AC's part was to convert what they had into what he dreamed up.
Shelby is the most important factor of all, by far, no doubt about it.
Thanks for your comments on the article in Classic Motorsports. We had a great time using 10 old Cobras as they were originally intended. It's hard to find many owners of originals willing to do that anymore, but they are out there.

I still want a Ford GT, despite its sullied reputation.
