This
1964
AC
Cobra
was
originally
built
as
a
show
chassis
for
Shelby
American
in
order
to
showcase
the
model’s
underpinnings.
It
was
sent
in
1965
to
Cal
Automotive,
a
Shelby
subcontractor,
where
a
Ford
T-bucket
body
was
installed.
The
car
was
then
registered
for
street
use,
and
later
in
the
mid-1990s
was
fitted
with
a
hand-formed
aluminum
Cobra
body
by
Kimmins
Custom
Fabrication
of
Lake
Havasu
City,
Arizona.
After
being
raced
in
the
late-1990s,
it
received
a
refresh
and
was
assigned
chassis
number
COB5998.
The
current
owner
acquired
the
car
in
2011
and
subsequently
commissioned
Cobra
Automotive
of
Wallingford,
Connecticut
to
perform
a
mechanical
and
cosmetic
refurbishment,
which
included
rebuilding
the
Weber-carbureted289ci
V8.
A
T-10
four-speed
manual
transmission
was
also
installed
along
with
a
Tilton
racing
clutch,
Hurst
Super
Shifter,
Girling
master
cylinder,
Penske
racing
shocks,
and
more.
The
car
was
invited
to
and
participated
in
the
50th
annual
Cobra
Reunion,
held
in
Monterey,
California
in
2013.
It
is
listed
in
the
SAAC
Registry
as
outlined
below
and
is
titled
as
a
1964
Ford,
though
in
race
configuration
would
be
difficult
to
drive
on
the
street.
The
car
is
now
offered
with
spare
parts,
refurbishment
documentation,
period
photos,
historical
paperwork,
and
a
clean
California
title.
Visited
this
last
Friday
7/2,
so
clean
it's
just
amazing.
