Carroll Shelby International Inc. and AC Motor Holdings Ltd. have recently announced that they have buried their past differences and have forged a new strategic alliance. Under this collaboration, the two companies will begin working together in all areas of marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and product development.<\/p>\n

These actions have been directed at numerous Cobra replica manufacturers including, ironically, AC, whose AC Ace was the original basis for the Cobra line of sports cars.<\/p>\n
