I am soooo tired of the Shelby Inc this and Shelby Inc that. IMHO; Old Shel's folks at Shelby Licensing sure have made a mess of things of late.

We ( the royal we) helped feed them (quite well I might add) since the 1960's and I feel they are still gutting us like trout every chance they get.

I admire Carroll for what he has accomplished and aided others to do, and I consider myself a fan.

the AC Ace had other engines in it along the way before during and after the sixties work with FoMoCo and Shelco.

I love the Cobra; The First 40 years... book by Trevor Legate and his references to the Ace powered by a Chevrolet engine that predates the 221 install significantly.

Remember, "It is not who makes the nut, but the Nut who makes it" --and it takes a lot of "Nuts" to make a good car.

PS: Can I get a replacement Superformance Vin tag /placard for my SPF number that just has "Superformance MK III Roadster" and no "under license from..."
