Carroll Shelby is an American automotive legend. He started in chicken farming, moved to racing cars, and ended up building racing, as well as racing-inspired machines for the road. One of his projects was when he went to British outfit AC Cars in 1961 and asked them if they would build him a car that could accept a V8. AC Cars agreed, as long as Shelby could source the engine. Chevrolet turned him down, but Ford was willing. Hence, the birth of the AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra in the US of A.

The story of the AC Cobra is an interesting one. AC Cars was a British automaker who produced two-seat sports cars and roadsters. Their offerings caught the eye of legendary American racer Carroll Shelby who wrote to the company in 1961 asking if they could build him a car, but with a V8. AC agreed on the stipulation that Shelby would find them a suitable engine. Chevrolet wasn’t interested, but Ford decided to help out, and the AC Cobra was born. It was sold as the Shelby Cobra in the United States. Here’s a nice contemporary 1965 Shelby AC Cobra SC 427 that’s been built by Contemporary Classic Motor Car.
