Hmmm,,,,, Ron makes some good points, but it's a subtle thing by and large. Not earth shaking.

AC would have found an engine supplier and continued on? Maybe, I guess we'll never know for sure. AC with one foot in the grave? Yeah I think thats accurate considering the circumstances at the time.

Understanding the "English" motoring concept I would agree that it was "likely" AC would have found an engine supplier. Why? Because there an OLD English company and had "tradition" working in their favor.

427 more valuable because less made? Hmmm,,, not sure about that, all though the logic is flawless. Americans LOVE their Hot Rods. The mere fact that the 427 had blistering accelleration was enough to secure it's place in USA automotive history. And THAT is why I think it demands a higher price primarily.

Evan aint "that far off" in the end!

Ernie

Edit: So who's idea was it to use that stupid worm and ball thing for the steering? AC might have designe the whole thing, but Shelby made it strong enough to go racing!
