New AC Cobras

[1985 CCX]

Tom,

Still always claiming CSX cars had Cheby plants but wow, nothin...... now COB / COX, its a reach Tom. Let's just say it doesnt count if your references are after 1969.
I'll look tonight in the book as there were not many of those cars either.
Again #'s your so confident about?
You seem so dilligent with the Cheby thing, figured you would know. So absolute; but yet so fact free in your claims.

Yes, we were kids and your CCX had a Cheby motor, still not the same as the FE
Still makes these cars less desirable as the "Powered by Ford" is part of the gig. Guessing your going to start referencing the Don Johnston Daytona next?
Yup, those too had a Cheby plant...

Tom,

Gave it a look and only found 289, 427 and 428 cars?
Maybe you are confusing these with a Scarab?

Jeff, I don't look on here for awhile and look at you just going on! I never ever said a CSX came with a Chevy! I said AC Cars Ltd. made at least two Cobras with Chevy engines as stated in a few different books by Brian Leban , Ian Stent , David Fetherston, Jim Youngs, Steve Temple and as told to me by a Shelby mechanic who later went on to make replicas. And although I cannot seem to get any pics to transfer on here I have text you just one article about Chevy in an AC and about the New AC Cars Ltd (what ever that is ) and how they use the Chevy LS engine. Again you have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting!

Ok I'm a bit skeptical here. Shelby American registered the trade mark name "Cobra." AC Cars never owned the trade mark "Cobra." Ford later purchased the "Cobra" trade mark name and used it for many years in various ways.

AC Cars Ltd. after being bankrupt and sold made some cars after the originals were made, but just how could they have used the trade marked name "Cobra?" Even if they did stick a Chevy or any other engine in them they are not a "Cobra." In my mind you can authentically call them an AC, but unless Shelby American or Ford authorized AC to call the car a Cobra, it is not a Cobra. So in my opinion this whole Chevy engine in a Cobra claim is just a big fuss about nothing important.
