So I vote that Andrews is more original than the real ones.



Sorry all you Ford guys, this opportunity will not come often.

I have to say this is by far the most convincing argument I have heard for fitting a Chev to a Cobra and the fact that the originals (Ford powered) are indeed replicas and the now replicas with Chevs are indeed originals!

I am not sure if Shelby ever made one of these. I do seem to recall that he tried to get Healey involved before AC, so maybe we should celebrate that too? There are probably Healeys with Holden motors out there? What he might have done, or should have done ....what he did do was make the world-beating Ford Cobra! Pity about our modern day bureaucrats.
