Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this beautiful 1985 Autokraft AC Cobra. The vehicle has a thoroughly documented unique history. this aluminum-bodied continuation was manufactured int he UK and immediately sent to Roush Performance to have a stout 351 cubic inch V8 stuffed between the muscular fenders of this legendary road racer. Backing up all that power is a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission set up for road racing. After the injection of horsepower from Roush, the Cobra was finally delivered to the first (and only) owners of this potent classic. Documentation shows a freshening in the mid to late 1990's. With a touch over 9,000 miles since its original delivery, this is just barely broken in. while there are many "replicas" of the AC Cobra, the Autokraft bodies, such as the one seen here, are the only ones factory licensed. All in, there were 480 made in total. Don't miss an opportunity to own a rare and desirable Cobra with such heavy documentation!

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.
