Here is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous 1966 Ford AC Cobra 427 S/C in museum quality condition inside and out. It's a stunning car that has been totally body off restored about 8 years ago and looks amazing. This car has a very special and unique history behind it. This is a true aluminum bodied AC Cobra with the body and chassis built by AC Cars Ltd in the early 1980's and was assembled by Brian Angliss of CP AutoKraft. This AC Cobra is, in almost every sense, a continuation of the cobra line that ended in 1968. It must be stressed that this is not a "kit car" or "replica" of the Cobra. This is a true AC Cobra in it's own right, being manufactured by AC Cars Ltd.
This is truly more of a true original Shelby Cobra then the eight Shelby continuation cars that were built in the 90's and sold for over $500,000 new. Those cars were thought by the public to be built with original bodies and chassis left over from the original 60's production. The cars were not even built by Shelby, they were all contracted to be built by Mark McCluskey in Southern California. All the bodies and chassis were built by Mark in the 90's.
The body and chassis on this car was built in England by AC Cars Ltd using all of the original tooling used to build the original AC Cobras in the 60's. When this AC Cobra was restored in the 90's, they want above and beyond to make this car appear to be an authentic Shelby AC Cobra 427 S/C to anybody looking at it. Just to give you an example they used genuine Shelby pin-drive knock off wheels, Shelby wood steering wheel, original ford auxiliary fan motors, Lucas headlights, gauges, Goodyear Eagle racing tires, 36 gallon fuel tank etc. Even the wiring looms are done exactly like the original cars. This is perfect mirrior image to the original Shelby AC Cobra 427S/C built in 1966 and is correct in every detail.
The exterior of this rare car is in drop dead gorgeous condition. The genuine AC Alloy body is finished in Guardsman Blue. The paint job is absolutely stunning and has an amazing luster to it. It was hand rubbed to a smooth as glass finish. The body is laser straight and everything lines up perfect. This car literally stops traffic. It looks so good going down the road that people can't help but to stop and stare.
Mechanically, this AC Cobra runs and drives amazing. It is powered by the period correct Ford 427ci side oiler engine mated to a four speed transmission. Under the hood is absolutely detailed to show condition and is totally period correct in every way. This car always starts right up and is and absolute blast to drive!
This is an ultra rare muscle car that is only going up in value as time goes on. The dash is autographed by the legend Carroll Shelby himself. This impeccable example of a 1966 AC Cobra 427 S/C was previously titled and registered as CSX3060 until it was determined this was not a Shelby continuation car, but a TRUE AC Car Ltd built AC Cobra. The car currently has a Arizona issued VIN number AZ303358, titled as a 1966 AC Cobra. Although CSX30601 is still stamped on the chassis proving what this car really is. This AC Cobra is, in a word: Amazing.
