Chevy in a Cobra

[REAL 1]

Pebble Beach Concours takes one offs as entries?

A '58 would qualify for a '61 concours? Really?

How does he enter it in the '61 Concours when it has '62 drive train? Fascinating.

Read it again, not the Mongoose. The point is he had a V8 powered (Olds) 1958 AC which he sold in '61, means it existed earlier than '61.
Back at ya, "Nice try though but no Cigar"

First, doesn't say he sold it in '61.
Second, Pebble Beach wasn't inviting hot rods in '61 and it would not have been old enough in '61.
Third, you don't just enter a car at Pebble Beach. You are invited.
Fourth, AC had already been PRODUCING car with Ford power before this.
Fifth, Buick or Olds is not Chevy. Different Division of GM. This thread is "Chevy". Anyone out there with an Olds or Buick in their Replica?
Sixth, putting American power in foreign cars was not a novel idea even then.
Seventh, there is no proof anywhere this car or the "Mongoose" played any role in the creation or inspiration for the the Cobra.
Eighth, if it's on the net it must be true. This site is the epitome for that adage.

Did I forget anything.....? Oh yeah, back at ya...nice try..no cigar
