Summary
| Description |
CSX2105; C; Cobra S; Shelby X; Export, 2; Mk II, No 105 of 528 AC, an English company, started building the Ace in 1953 with the Bristol 6 cyl engine, when production of this engine ceased in 1961, they used the 2600cc Ford Zephyr engine but with alloy head and triple weber carbs, this proved unreliable so went to Carroll Shelby in America and then started using Ford V8s. . So the first AC Cobra, the Mk I, had the 260 cu in Ford V8, 75 were made and in 1963 a further 51 were built with the 289 The 1963-65 Mk II got rack and pinion steering, and the 289 V8, 528 were made To become more competitive with the Corvette, the 1965-67 Mk III got the big block 427 cu in Ford V8, a new chassis, coil suspension all round, wider fenders and wider radiator opening. 300 were made with the 427 (27 narrow fender 289s were also built) Ford and Shelby pulled out in 1967, AC kept building cars for a few more years Many companys world wide have been making relicas of this popular Roadster ever since. |
