Not Ranked
Just found out what O stands for, Other, meaning not assembled by Shelby, instead Assembled by AC. Although, that levees out Ed Hugas and TASCA Ford, who assembled early Cobras back East. Ed sold the first private Cobra, CSX2001. If you want to see some wild badge placement on a Cobra, then look it up, not talking about what it looks like today, but back in 62. That car had on it's nose, the winged Shelby AC Cobra badge, then below it the AC round medallion. At least one other car had the same placement. If you don't know who Ed was, he's the one who saved Shelby twice! Once at the beginning, when the whole Cobra thing was starting out and then, when Ford was going to take the Cobra program away, Ed talked Ford into sending an accountant to get things somewhat into the black instead.
