Absolutely true, no issues with certification, no need to make a newly built car be a "1966", etc. The AC MK IV was EU certified and easy to register in most places.

Assuming he has a little room to move on the price, if I were in the market for a slabside I think it would be looking at it closely.  |
He purchased the car as a turn-key driver from a dealer (not me) and it was not more than he is asking. This is a Superformance 289, not a Shelby 50th Anniversary car so not a $129,000 roller.
Of course there is some fluff in his advert, what original 289s had Top-Loaders (T10 was the stock box) and all Shelby Anniversary cars do not have "aluminum block 331s", etc. And correctly, red or tan interior Cobras had black dashes, we special order ours to have them.
Keep in mind most sellers are writing the ad to the great unwashed, not to the knowledgeable Cobra enthusiast. They already know what they need to know!

Then he is using a little poetic license in his advertising. But - makes those MK II Slabsides an even a better deal in my estimation. |

What license? I will sell this for well less than $97,500! And this has date coded 289, a five speed and the Salisbury diff option. Ceramic coated headers and exhaust, original type coolant header tank and lots of small details.
Custom color, Jaguar Carmen red and tan leather with correct black dash! L/R vents, top, curtains, tonneau, heater/defroster, grab handle and mirrors still in the box (so we can mount where they WORK for the buyer) as well as whitewalls! Front and rear bumper hoops in the box can be installed.
And wait, there's more!

Well you know the factory puts that Tru-Coat on and I can't do anything about it.....
Well, deduct about $40.00 for the whitewalls (Geez, I NEVER thought I would be selling cars with WHITEWALLS again...but seems about 50% of the 289s got shoved out of Shelby with his Goodyear whitewalls!) And the wheels are close to a wash price wise. Lets call it even.
