Description of 1965 Shelby AC Cobra |
Presented here is a superb example of a scarceAC Cobra MK II 289 FIA replica. This car was built by North American Fiberglass in 1990, which later became part of Superformance, the company that is involvedin manufacturing the current official Shelby continuation cars. The molds were taken from an original 289 FIA car. The original owner and the second/current owner are close friends and the current owner was involved in every aspect of specifying and ordering the car. The following options were selected: Red with Wimbledon white stripes Black leather interior and side pockets Convertible top, Tonneau cover, Front bra Hood scoop and fender louvers Sun visors and wind wings Halogen road lights, detachable Chrome "quick-jack" pads AND chrome bumpers Steward Warner gauges AM/FM cassette player (currently removed, comes with it), 100 watt amp is still in trunk Chrome roll bar Air craft design seat belts Tilton heavy duty clutch and brake pedals 351 Windsor (professionally built) 350HP Aluminum lined engine compartment 427-style Jet-Hot coated side exhaust High torque starter Electric fan and two auxiliary pusher fans Oil cooler Borg Warner T5 World Class 5 Speed close ratio transmission Chrome front sway bar Curry 9" rear end with 4.11 gears Adjustable alden coil over shocks Mustang II front end Compomotive wheels with spinners trunk mounted battery with cut off The current owner bought the car from his friend in 2004 with 1364 miles on it. This car is one of themost well-cared forautomobiles you will ever find!!! Every piece of paperwork has been collected since day one and since 2004 a complete and impeccable service and maintenance history/receipts is included. As you can see in the photos, this car is immaculate and needs nothing! Just over the last month, the owner spent $1000 in a new hi torque starter, battery and had all cables soldered for superb connections.The exhaust (mufflers) were redone in 2012, Tires were replaced in 2010 at 4256 miles. The paint is original and has fantastic luster, withonly a few random chips, as expected on a vehicle that is 26 years old. The car comes with the chrome plated quick-jack pads, headlights screens, tonneau cover, soft top, and front end bra, as originally ordered. The radio head-unitwas removed, is however included. The amp and speakers are still in their original location. Please email me with any questions you may have. Many more pictures and video available.
