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
