Buick AC Ace

Here is a great video of an aluminum Buick V8 powered AC Ace. As many of you know, that was almost the Cobra! Dennis Hurlock was writing to Buick to see if they could get some of these engines for their Ace sports cars. At the same time, legend has it, while on top of Pikes Peak for the hill climb, one Carroll Shelby, was asking GM reps about getting the same engine for a yet, undetermined sports car. The Pikes Peak part is probably another tall tale, but the Buick engine was not! Of course, neither Dennis, nor Carroll knew anything about Rover! And the rest is history! But this video is a cool, what if? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cIOcwB9Rn0
