I don’t love EVs but can appreciate DIY innovation. I’m a bit disappointed at the polarization between EVs and ICE, to be honest. Cool cars are cool cars, in my opinion.

American Carroll Shelby dropped a Ford V-8 into an AC Ace roadster and created a sensation.
The UK AC Ace was an attractive roadster offered with several six-cylinder inline engines of 2-liter and 2.6-liter displacement. In 1962, Shelby conceived of an engine swap for the Ace and managed to fit a Ford 260 cubic-inch V-8 into an Ace chassis. The result was a very fast, if somewhat crude, Cobra sports car that became a hit and was very popular for racing as well as street use. The 260 V-8 was succeeded by a 289 cubic-inch Ford V-8 and then later, operating under the principle that nothing succeeds like excess, Shelby stuffed a Ford 427 V-8 into the Cobra. The Cobra has spawned several replicas over the years, which I believe remain in production. (I believe we have a replica Cobra owner on the board, so he can feel free to chime in.) UK manufacturer Sunbeam was inspired by the Cobra and did their own conversion of the Alpine roadster into the Ford V-8-powered Tiger roadster.

CSX2000 series - all 260, 289 and Coupe cars. Both "slab side" and "FIA" roadsters. CSX3000 series - all 427 cars, street and race Continuation series: CSX4000 (427), CSX1000 (special run aluminum body 427), CSX 6000 (4000 ran out of numbers), CSX7000/CSX8000 - 289 slab side and FIA All other replica cars use their own serial number system, but will not have a number starting with CSX unless someone is trying to pull a fast one. Common replica manufacturers: - Unique Motorcars - E.R.A. Replicas - Everett-Morrison Motorcars - Shell Valley Classic Wheels, Inc. - Lone Star Classics - B&B Manufacturing - Hurricane Motorsports - Backdraft Racing - Kirkham Motorsports - Factory Five Racing Kirkham, Superformance, and Shelby American still offer hand-formed aluminum bodied cars, but be prepared to pay well north of $200k for one of those. Superformance and Backdraft make complete turn-key cars starting at around $90k. Factory Five Racing makes the number one selling replica kit that you build yourself starting at just a little over $20k for a kit (no running gear). Based on what I know from building a Factory Five kit and following the builds of many others, the typical range to complete a Factory Five kit is somewhere between $45k and $75k. |

Around 1976-77, I was stationed in the Navy in Guam with a sailor who owned an original Cobra (which was back in the States somewhere.) I suppose back then it had not attained the holy icon status that a real Cobra has these days, but I was extremely impressed.
In the driving sense, I suppose one of the modern replicas is superior to the early 1960s original Cobra.
