Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1966 Ford Shelby
Cobra.�
HISTORY
The�AC Cobra, sold as the�Shelby Cobra�in the United States of
America, is an Anglo-American�sports car�with a�Ford V8�engine,
produced intermittently in both the UK and United States of America
since 1962.
Like many British manufacturers,�AC Cars�had been using
the�Bristol�straight-6�engine in its small-volume production,
including its�AC Ace�two-seater roadster. This had a hand-built
body with a steel tube frame, and aluminium body panels that were
made using�English wheeling�machines. The engine was a pre-World
War II design by�BMW�which by the 1960s was considered dated.
Bristol decided in 1961 to cease production of its engine and
instead to use Chrysler 313�cu�in (5.1�L)�V8 engines. AC started
using the 2.6 liter�Ford Zephyr�engine in its cars.
In September 1961, American automotive designer�Carroll
Shelby�wrote to AC asking if they would build him a car modified to
accept a V8 engine. AC agreed, provided a suitable engine could be
found. Shelby went to Chevrolet to see if they would provide him
with engines, but not wanting to add competition to the Corvette
they said no. However,�Fordwanted a car that could compete with the
Corvette and they happened to have a brand new engine which could
be used in this endeavor: the Windsor 221 in (3.6 L) engine - a new
lightweight, thin-wall cast small-block V8. Ford provided Shelby
with two engines. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
