Help me identify this Cobra
Spotted this one on the "local" Norwegian car sales web, labelled as a 1965 AC Cobra 427 S/C.
There is no relevant info. 4 speed and 450 hp is all it gives. Its priced high compared to US replicas at approx $180000, but OK if its an original. I´ve written to the seller asking for a chassis number. JJ. |

Doesn't Kirkham use a fuse box and relays like that?

CSX 4000 would be my guess, Not a Kirkham.
Fiberglass body not alloy. Engine bay pic is the give away. |

It is not a CSX4000 series car If a fiberglass body, it is a Hi Tech Bill S. |

So why do you think it's not a CSX4000 car? |

Why, do you know something not shown in the 4 pictures? https://finncdn.no/dynamic/1598w/201...1252348808.jpg Bill S. |

So what items under the hood is making you come to your conclusion it could not be a CSX 4000 car? |

Nope. ]Besides the missing dash plaque, it's just my feeling that it is not a CSX4000 series car, and that it is either a Kirkham or a HiTech. So you cannot tell by the pic you posted this car is not an alloy body? Wow! This car has many CSX 4000 give it way parts on it. |
The lip around the hood opening does look like a glass car. I don't recognize the metal plate on top of the footbox and the steering shaft bearing retainer. Different than an original or a HiTech. You could be right that it's a glass 4000 series Shelby.

Just a feeling ;) ....are they Shelby gauges? CSX4000?
Cheers, Glen |

The gauges look like Shelby to me, along with the Steering wheel, park brake, windscreen, side wings, etc etc. In fact it looks like a very nice car. |
4000 or 6000 car! :cool:
Definitely glass................... |
The tag under the hood says Shelby America.
Could be fake I guess. |
The wipers park consistent with a Shelby - but there are probably a few other makes that park the same (Kirkham for one but it looks like a fiberglass body).

Do they make CSX4000 cars without the side curtain ferrules or folding top lift a dot doohickeys? How about the AutoMeter gauges??? Looks like a very nice Cobra, whatever it is.

Have not received a reply from the owner as to what it is yet. kind of disappointed.
