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

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