The Cobra name is owned by Ford Motor Company. The man who created the Ford/Shelby AC Cobra was Carroll Shelby. It is most often called a Shelby Cobra. The Shelby Cobra was based on a British Sports car called the AC Ace. Carroll Shelby first approached Chevrolet to provide a V8 for the little British Sports car. They refused as they did not want a car to compete with the Corvette. He then went to Ford and they agreed to provide a 260 V8. Later on a 289, then 390, and 427 were installed. This car is not to be confused with the Ford Mustang Cobra.
