1968 titled AC Cobra for sale
Guys,
Maybe it's the heat or the sun? Or just too many Ouzos!
My 1968 legally titled AC is up for grabs! It's got a CSX 3--- vin.
In feb this year I had an engine fire and ended up hitting the freeway railing on the left.
What I thought a reasonably inexpensive insurance claim, turned out my Insurance company wrote it off and was nice enough to give me back the car!
I have been pondering for the past few months, but its time!
It was valued and insured @ 120k for over 20 years.
I have owned it for over 22 years and is and old school quality car that looks and drives like a Cobra!
The Pagoda is going to get a rotisserie full resto and I have no time .
It's an easy fix with endless possibilities.... ie Kirkham body?
If interested check out Used Cars - New Cars - Search New & Used Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au
50 k is the asking price.
Thanks,
Soul.

Can you expound on that statement? Please explain the VIN. Is this an Australian thing?   |

That and can you post some pictures of the damage as your link and the subsequent search shows nothing relevant to this thread.

Please explain?
Vin = vehicle identification number!
The Link ? I'm in Europe at the moment and being an Aussie car sales site it won't load until morning Aus time.
Aussie dollar low.... Buy,buy ,buy!

I'd be proud to put it out in the open. Any new owner is going to have to have it if for nothing more than due diligence.

Just wanting to avoid all the smart ass comments about not being genuine, it's not rocket science!
How do you guys get away with 65 titles ?

 Maybe don't get too excited and jump to any conclusions, remember that old saying "when it sounds too good to be true........

It's a 68 registered glass car with a CSX 3000 vin..... That's all.
Those facts are true!
Gotta love forums..... Just brings out the best in people! Not!

Maybe registered in the days you could make up your own VIN rather than have one issued?

That's not true!
It has not been written off! Dawes insurance paid me out in full without writing it off!
And then gave me back the car for free!
They even gave me a letter to confirm such!
Dawes underwriting , cannot recommend them enough!

Hey Soul, sorry to see your car damaged and all the best in selling her.
I was wondering regarding Dawes Insurance.....is that a standard policy thing for Dawes Insurance to pay you out in full and also give you the damaged car back for free as well as part of its policy arrangements etc...or did they deduct its damaged value from the payout and I'm reading your comments incorrectly?
I'm about to renew my policy so am going to ring them but just wondered if this was just a special condition on your policy or something I need to ask specifically about?
Any feedback is helpful. Thanks Soul.

Hi Spookypt,
About 20 years ago I got onto Dawes, once someone from their company sited the car they valued it for 120 k ! Perhaps better times?
Early in year when this happened, I just thought that Dawes would repair the car!
To my surprise I was told that they would pay me out and I would keep the car
They also supplied a letter stating that the car was not a write off!,
Cannot recommend them enough! All was settled witching 30 days.
But my car was imported as a 68! 22 years ago or so.
As a CSX chassis air car with 68 title.
The 65 Kirkham is insured with them too.
When they sited the Kirkham they personalised the Policy to reflect the exact replacement value including all the head aches involved , a happy result from my end!
It makes me laugh how some people on this forum feel the urge to prove what the car is,
The car is what it is, just a unique title attached to it!
I guess the whole Cobra thing has been so compromised with various claims of authenticity .
Good luck, if you need any more info let me know....
Although currently on a Greek island in the Aegean, the series of pigeons that is WiFi when not at the coffee shop , I get to retrieve info from the real world!
Best,
Soul.

Ok cool thanks for that. Shannon's give me 1st option on buying wreck back for an amount to be determined by them. No freebies from them.
Ill give Dawes a ring.
Thanks again.
