No special legal exemptions necessary to have a 1960's Cobra comply with current (of the day) motor vehicle law.
I'd post some more articles by people who have not a clue about Carroll Shelby and the Shelby Cobra's history.  |
What I mean is: I believe that Shelby received the rollers from AC, and added the drivetrains in his shop here in the USA, no? Just like, say a Superformance today. |
