Later in the article this might be the Why.
"All of which brings us to " <Owner's Name> "Shell Valley Cobra replica. It’s powered by a late-model Chevy LS3 engine, and fitted with a Magnuson blower. So while some Cobra purists might feel that’s a bit sacrilegious, there’s a historical precedent."

I don't think there is any historical precedent that's why I posted this question.

This is like saying that there were Ford Powered Cheetah's or Ford powered GrandSports........Hmmmmmmmm
