One of the better engineered ram air hoods. 1964 Mercury A/FX and B/FX Comets. This car is a HiPo 289 with 4 speed. The hood isn't functional - just looks cool.

Ak Miller, and the five-time Pikes Peak winner's new Cobra Kit Special, which was actually a Devin body adapted to an AC Bristol chassis, all powered by a 289 Ford equipped with Carroll Shelby's Cobra engine package.

The first man to put a Ford V8 in an AC chassis to go racing.

Famed California “Hot Rodder” Ak Miller had completed the project with an AC-Bristol sports car (same chassis that would be delivered to Shelby months later) he’d acquired to run on the dry lakes east of Los Angeles well over a year before Shelby put his deal together with Ford and AC to build his cars in limited production

Talk about innovation! The 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner with it's smoked acrylic glass window over the front seat area.

Very interesting, not the least of which is what appear to be snow tires!

I watched one of those rot to the ground over the years in front of an ex girlfriend's house. Such a shame.

One of these days I hope to get in the back seat of it. I understand it is quite a high performance aircraft.
