I agree without Ford, there never would have been a Cobra to begin with.

Without AC Cars the car would have never been. That is where the true roots of the car began. Others just took the seed, made a hybrid species, added fertilizer, and made it grow..so is it the farmer (chicken or otherwise:D) or the producer of the original seed that should get the credit..? Sort of a "What came first, the chicken farmer, or the egg?", kind of question..:3DSMILE: |
You guys are ALL WRONG
GUYS if the chickens had not caught a bird flu back in the early 60's and had to be killed and burnt by the thousands, CS would still be a chicken farmer and not a legend maker. CS has the ability to BS and did this to put together a British car and an American motor. As far as who played the most important roll in the cobra, The MECHANICS are the WINNERS. Without them this car is still sitting on jack stands. Machinist for building great motors. Have never seen a car win a race without a great motor. There is alot of roles that helped make the cobra a legend. Have to remember that CS. went to Africa for 10 years. Had it not been for a few replica car companies to continue on the legend it would have died in the 70's. Having the best drivers in the 60's and early 70's also needs to be included.
Most important role----- BIRD FLU. Rick L. |
My vote goes to Phil Remington. Without Phil's genius, in solving almost every problem the AC chassis had, the car would never have gotten off the ground. Phil, almost single handedly, made the Cobra and the Shelby American team (and that includes ol' Shel')what they became. Badger

I have to agree with Hersh......
the name Shelby was almost dead..... then came along the a guy who replicated the Cobra....and 'Ol Shel threw a temper tantrum and has pizzed away millions of dollars trying to stop everybody who was paying homage to HIS idea.... C.S. once said in a magazine interview that the reason he was putting a stop to all those who where replicating the Cobra is because his grandkids couldent tell the difference betweeen an original and a repica.....maybe they just didnt care... |
