I'll tell you what I know (how's that for being master of the obvious!), I don't like to eat up too much of Tony's time because he's working for a living (as you well understand), so I only get short stories.
They had this Aceca coupe and wanted to do something interesting with it. As some may know, AC built the roadster and coupe versions of this body before Shelby came along and bought chassis and body assemblies to fabricate the Cobra (with some body tweaks to differentiate them). They didn't want to make this coupe look too much like a Cobra, but with the basic lines being the foundation, it's hard not to pick up some of the ques. They flaired the front fenders (reminds me of the 289 FIA Cobra shape), and widened the rear quarters, both to fit the larger Boranni wheel/tire combo. Then stuffed that supercharged SBFin there. He tells me that the crew love any excuse to run to get parts and supplies in it because of the supercharger whine and exhaust note.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
John's ride to the cemetery, his beloved Billings OK bus, The Baby Elephant!! Traveling in style!! As his service was starting I couldn't figure out what the music was, heavy on a flute in a jaunty...
