Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1966 Shelby
Cobra replica by B&B Manufacturing/NW Exotics!.
HISTORY
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 litre 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, Ford wanted 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
