Nose opening flat on the bottom. Hmmm, kinda like the new Ford Cobra?

EDIT:
Personally I don't believe for a second the Cobra, as we know it, including it's rich race history, would have ever come about without Shelby. It seems rather preposterous that AC would have been able to acquire a V8 from anybody considering their financial position at the time (broke and going down hard). Having lost their engine supplier at the time and now left with a body with no heart they would have been happy with ANY engine supplier who stepped forward!
