Shelby little involvement in creating the Cobra

[LMH]

My problem with you Evan is you skew history and fact to fit your own idea of how things should have been. You know only enough to support your own position and disregard the rest because it doesn't fit. That's fine except when you post your history and the world reads it and takes it as fact. Anyone who doesn't fall in line with your history is immediately attacked. The definition of a bully. You'll argue just for the sake of arguing.
So I'll leave you with this true historical quote about the production of the Cobra.

From the chassis manual that came in every car, including the ones imported to Shelby:

"The A.C. Cobra is designed and built at the A.C. Factory, England..."
"Shelby American Inc. are responsible for the conception of the car, and in America for fitting of the engine, and gearbox, manufactured by Ford Motor Company of America".

And that is how the Cobra came into being!

So who are you quoting from? There is truth in the statement for sure but then there is "the rest of the story" which you and Joe seem to just write off that is critical to the Cobra coming to fruition and it's final configuration.

Just tell us specifically and factually where I went astray. Would love to learn.

I haven't read every word in this thread, but these couple of sentences pretty much sum of Evan. I see nothing has changed.

Then he asks you to cite "specifically and factually", but he can't even cite his own specifics and facts.

I'm done with it. It's not up to me to take Evan to school. He can spend ten years studying these cars, endlessly bugging and bothering the true experts and a year assisting on the restoration of an original and educate himself. Hopefully those who don't know who he is will read the whole thread and understand that what he posts may or may not be facts but rather opinion.
Even the Gods of our hobby will tell you they are still learning and it never stops.

I started at page 9 (the end) and then went backward just one page to understand what all the uproar was over. Then my head exploded.

Your done with it? Runniing away? You still haven't told us where I was wrong. all of my statements have sources in authoritative books including Trevor's book," Cobra the Real thing.".

I didn't spin this info out of thin air and I have been very specific. I have not posted any opinion but rather facts and the unavoidable conclusions based on fact. You clearly do not understand the differene between fact and opinion.

Maybe someone as knowing as you can show us where I am wrong. Anyone?

Yes,the learning never stops in this hobby so again tell us specifically where I went astray. Many innocents and just me would benefit from your depth of knowledge.

Waiting.

You clearly don't grasp the difference between fact and opinion. I have set forth historical fact with specificity. You have painted with a broad brush. The conclusions from the facts are unavoidable as to who did what and who was responsible for what. I set them forth.

Waiting.
