I don't follow the AC MKIV market, but I don't think $120,000 is WAY off market. I've seen plenty of them for less than $100,000.
What I find funny in all these sales ads that folks write:
"I have it priced like a Kirkham roller. Kirkhams are great cars also, but it is my opinion that these are about as close to the original 1960's cars as you can get, in that the bodies were built in England, on the same bucks and jigs as were the original AC cars from the 1960's. Kirkhams are made in a former Mig Fighter jet facility in Poland....again, they do great work! But if you want a car that is about as close to the 1960's lineage as is possible without spending nearly 10x the money, an AC MK IV should be considered."
First, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? How the pricing of a Kirkham roller has anything to do with the pricing of an AC MKIV, I have no clue. I'd be looking at past sales of the MKIV, which is a running and immediately register-able vehicle.
Second, while the Kirkham body is made in Poland and the AC MKIV was made in England, the Kirkham is far closer in accuracy to the original and genuine article. The AC MKIV has many, many differences to make it available as a new car from Ford in 1980's.
Wow, where do I get this license to BS?  |
