Carrol Shelby persuaded AC cars to shoehorn a 4.7 litre and later a 7 litre engine into one either for him to race or to sell, I am not sure. They went into production as the AC Cobra but not many were made. There are now many companies making replicas. Real ones are extremely valuable nowadays they look great but they do not drive too well... cheers, Frank --- On Fri, 19/6/09, George Lottermoser <imagist3 at mac.com> wrote: > From: George Lottermoser <imagist3 at mac.com> > Subject: [Leica] IMG: speaking of transportation as sculpture > To: "Leica Group Users" <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Friday, 19 June, 2009, 5:00 PM > Excalibur version of Shelby Cobra > > <http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=1307> > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > george at imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more > information >
