39 PH in Octane..

[runt]

Definitely Nik, that engine must be spectacular, amusingly a friend of mine admonished me for referring to a 289 as a '289 Windsor' years ago, me grouping them as a  Small Block family; "The 289 was built at Cleveland..!"

Hi Chuck, that's cool, and knowing it brings pleasure will be payment enough! That car is of course a legend, and a faithful ambassador for AC in the early sixties, really fired my imagination as a youngster, good to know it is in the rudest of good health!

   Thanks again Paul.  I hope to have some more material to scan soon.

Hi Chuck. 39PH was the AC Cars entry at Le Mans in 1963, where it finished 7th, then went on to be one of the most famous racing Cobras outside of America. This is the Magazine:
