So I am looking at ""Cobras & Replicas 1962-1993" a Brooklands Books publication. In it is a two page picture of a car called the "Mongoose". A car built by Jerry Scheberies which is a 1958 AC ACE with a F85 Olds V8 transplanted in it. It looks like it was done before Carroll Shelby and the Cobra. So my question is this the true father of the Cobra , with a GM engine and not Shelby and Ford???
