It’s a Well Known Story that Carroll Shelby Approached AC in 1961 with the Idea to Fit an American V8 (Initially a Chevrolet) to AC’s Ace in Order to Build a New, Ultra Competitive Sports-Car. The Plan Worked Fantastically, with the Ford Windsor Powered AC Shelby Cobra Dominating Many Race Series Until Production Ended in 1967.

Not so Well Known However, is that AC Continued Production, with the ‘AC 289 Sports’ Until late 1969. Some 17 Years Later, AC, Under New Ownership Resurrected their Famed Roadster with the ‘AC Mk IV Cobra’, Built using Original Jigs, Dies and Even some Original 60’s Staff, the MK IV is No Replica, but a Genuine Article.

This Black MkIV was Built to US Specification, with Records Showing the AC in Arizona from 1990 to 1997, then Residing in California till 2007, when it was Purchased by an Australian, and Duly Imported.

Upon arriving in Australia the AC was Sent to ‘The Healey Factory’ in Melbourne, for a Left to Right Conversion, before Returning to Queensland were it’s Compliancing was Signed Off on the 16th of September 2008, and it was Registered ‘455LGL’.
