I would say that the location was for accessibility and tucked in was for aerodynamics. You would need to inquire with Mr.Brock specifically.

He will have a reason. He did nothing without a specific reason or consideration.

My guess would be to quiet it down for street use.  Sure not much space between the pipes and the ground.

Probably didn't take too many steep driveways before it was "self-clearanced."

This Shelby 427 Cobra was once owned and raced by Ford President Jim Farley

The 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra bears the chassis number CSX3195 and has had a pretty wild life. One of just 343 examples made with the 427 cubic-inch ford V8 and coil springs, it was initially built for street use. Later in its life, though, it was converted to semi-competition spec and driven by a number of famous people, including Farley and Carroll Shelby himself.
