[REAL 1]

All cars, whether GM, Ford, SPF, FFR start out as a collection of parts.

Kit seems to imply that you receive the parts that make up the car ie. body, frame, suspension, wiring, hardware etc and assemble it.

Roller programs sell you the completed car sans engine and trans. You install and drive. Not really a "kit" as the term is normally used.

2Savage: You need to read some history books. The only person who built Cobras were Shelby. Period. AC merely supplied the platform which was modified as to body, suspension and wheels including an increase in track widith over the Ace to create the Cobra. Shelby turned an outdated 2 seat roadster into a World Champion and automotive legend.

As to the 427 Cobra, this was Shelby's baby from Miles pondering "what if" to the drawing board and design. AC simply fabricated chasis and body to Shelby spec.

There. Now you know the facts.
