[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters Digest, Vol 76, Issue 21

[Paul]

Ah yes... among my many radios I have managed to kept thru the years (Valiant, SX-110, DX-60 etc) I also managed to hold on to two of my favorite cars, my 1957 AC Ace and 1957 AC Aceca Bristol, two cars that DIDN'T get away!
 
The AC-Shelby used not only the body style, but the frame as well for the 260/289 versions. Shelby basically just dropped the V8 into the AC Ace tube chassis and made very minor body style changes. Some things were beefed up of course to handle the extra horsepower/tourqe, like the rear-end etc. It wasn't until the 427 monster came out that he completely revamped the chassis and made major body style changes.
 
see http://www.w2ec.com for both my ham radio and AC Cars web pages

73, Paul (Ray)

Actually - it's EITHER an A-C Cobra or a Shellby Cobra.  The original 
coachwork (body) came from AC (their earlier car, that inspired the Cobra 
was the AC Ace - 6 cylinder engine)

Yeah, yeah - no way I could afford either one.  Kicking myself for selling 
the two A-H 3000's, years ago.

I WAS given a very nice VALIANT with an early-serial Golden Eagle (D-104), 
does that gain me admission to the brag-fest?
