I remain non-committal in this argument and just post what I see with no personal comments about it. I feel this will be going on long after I have taken leave of this planet.

I was amaused by this Lee Holman quote from: Ponysite
"..."Holman Moody had a good working relationship with JW Automotive--selling them complete 1963 Galaxies-- marine engines-- Mustang parts and such. From about 1962 we started shipping parts & engines to John Willment ( owner of JW)....He bought a AC Ace less engine and put a 260 in that as well. My father drove the Ace with our engine. I am not claiming that Willment made a Cobra, only that other people were building these one off sports cars. While Shelby did the marketing that made the AC Ace with a Ford engine into a "COBRA" it was the marketing not the design that Shelby should get credit for."..."
