428 Frua Forum / New Shelby 289 Street Roadster
« on: February 01, 2011, 20:07:11 »
Well, at times I have been know to stir up some trouble. I received an email from Shelby American introducing their new models. One was a really good looking 50th Anniversary Shelby Cobra. I was told the car was sold out in 48 hours.

   Since that was no info on the engine I made a call. I was told a 289 was offered either from Ford or an aluminum block from Shelby. I then ask "Who makes the aluminum body"? The man told me they had two sources but Kirkham supplied most on the bodies. I comment that is a well built product then added that I have an Autokraft AC MKIV. There was a period of silence. I could tell he was thinking "What is that?"
   I then added "AC in England". The gentleman then said that some of the bodies came from the original source in England. That AC had gone bankrupt in 1961 and Shelby bought the rights to the body.
   
   If you through stone, please don't aim at me.
   
   Best wishes to all,

On the MkII & MkIII Draggin Snake Cobras, were they equipped with independent rear axles or rigid rear axles?

I know there were a few options on the MKIV's went built. Was there an options sheet printed? If so, may I have a copy?[8D]

My 1986 MkIV is equipped with dual exhaust on the left side. I have seen a couple other MkIV's with this feature. Looks like it is period to the mid 80' models. I have also seen it on Bristols. Personally, I like it. A very nice departure from all the plastics. Does anyone know the history of this design?

Happy Holidays to all,
   
   I am looking for a part source for two items. The interior light lens or assembly between the seats and the rear fender guards.

428 Frua Forum / Thames Ditton & Carrol Shelby

Yesterday, a client of mine told me he once worked for Carrol Shelby. He told me he was in charge of Shelby's international marketing and rented the AC factory (or a portion of it) at Thames Ditton after AC had vacated. Does anyone know anything about this information.
