My problem with you Evan is you skew history and fact to fit your own idea of how things should have been. You know only enough to support your own position and disregard the rest because it doesn't fit. That's fine except when you post your history and the world reads it and takes it as fact. Anyone who doesn't fall in line with your history is immediately attacked. The definition of a bully. You'll argue just for the sake of arguing.
So I'll leave you with this true historical quote about the production of the Cobra.

From the chassis manual that came in every car, including the ones imported to Shelby:

"The A.C. Cobra is designed and built at the A.C. Factory, England..."
"Shelby American Inc. are responsible for the conception of the car, and in America for fitting of the engine, and gearbox, manufactured by Ford Motor Company of America".

And that is how the Cobra came into being!
