General description :
See this 1965 AC Cobra Replica on display in our Chicago, Illinois showroom.For sale in our Chicago showroom is this awe-inspiring 1965 Shelby Cobra replica. Built on a Backdraft Racing body and frame, this Pearl Orange beauty is an absolute dream. The Pearl White stripes gleam in the sun and tie into the tan interior making this iconic body a real sight to be seen. Powering this classic racecar is a 427 cubic inch small block Ford V8 paired to a Tremec TKO-600 5-speed manual transmission. The Tremec is known to be a very stout performing transmission, and it is more than capable of handling the 535 horsepower this stout powerplant pumps out. The low-slung bodylines are sure to get your pulse moving, but fire up this beast and you’ll really get your heart racing. The knock-off wheels keep the styling true to the original Cobra roadster, while the larger diameter brings the handling into the modern times. With a low center of gravity and 535 horsepower and 545 pounds of torque, this is one very competitive ride, too! The 5-speed transmission shifts fantastically with consistent feedback, the engine revs smoothly all the way up to redline, and the suspension keeps the Cobra tightly gripped to the road. The brakes will bring this roadster to a halt in the blink of an eye with no drama, and the side pipes act like battle horns alerting everyone nearby that you are here to do business! With a beautiful color combination, and enough power to back up its good looks, this 1965 Shelby Cobra replica is an incredibly nice example of a modernized classic. Options include: Seat Belts, Vinyl interior, Radial Tires, and Racing Wheels.

About AC
AC Cars formerly known as Auto Carriers, is one of the oldest independent car makers in Britain that has its roots going as early as 1903.AC appeared to a greater public with AC Ace, a lightweight roadster designed by John Tojeiro with a Weller-designed 2-Litre engine. Soon after, car dealer and racing driver Ken Rudd fitted his own competition Ace with a pre-war BMW-designed, Bristol-produced six-cylinder engine. This combination became known AC Ace-Bristol in 1957 -the car raced at Le Mansin 1957 and 1958.
In 1962, AC was approached by a certain Carroll Shelby to use a small block Ford v8 engine in the Ace, producing the AC Cobra -The legend was born, initially with 260 & 289 engines.
When switching to a bigger 427 engine, a completely new chassis was needed. In collaboration with Ford’s computers and the experience of the AC engineers, the new MKIII was born with thicker main tubes for the chassis, huge cross-braced shock towers and coil springs all around. This, along with the "side oiler" 427 engine, made the new AC Cobra MKIII a formitable race car. Initially a commercial failure, has now become the most replicated auto mobile ever.
