Trevor: Thanks for the info.

What is your take on the creation of the 427. Do you agree it was more "Shelby" than "AC" in its creation, design, testing and development. The 289 clearly had more "AC" in it as far as the forgoing stages went than the 427. Do you agree?

Didn't the 289 receive some modifcations/improvements in suspension, steering and brakes as a result of CS and SAI? Didn't the FIA car receive some substantial buttressing and improvements over the basic Ace set up?

Would you agree that it was Shelby who was the central figure that made the Cobra the automotive icon? Not taking away from AC's contribution just making my observations.

Thanks.
