Mr. Carol Shelby imported a certain number of rolling AC rolling chassis’ back in the 60s, and used high performance ford 427 big block engines with AC supplied chassis components and gearboxes to dominate sports car racing in the United States.

The car is supposed to be officially unveiled in Monaco this year, and with the amount of AC / Shelby Cobra replicas selling around the world, we are sure the original will be just as good of a hit if not MUCH better.
