Lot details Registration No: WGU571F Chassis No: DVLASWA3971502305
The iconic Cobra was born when Texan Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby persuaded AC Cars to let him shoe-horn Ford's new lightweight 260ci V8 into the nose of the John Tojeiro designed AC Ace. Fast forward fifteen years or so, and the value of original examples had risen way beyond the reach of most enthusiasts, creating a ready market for evocations. Finished in black with black interior 'WGU 571F' is fitted with a 351cu in, 5.7 litre Ford Cleveland V8 mated to a C6 three-speed, quick-shift gearbox. The vendor informs us that last year the Ram was treated to a re-paint, mechanical overhaul and interior re-trim and is also fitted with Brembo brakes, new tyres, power assisted steering and limited slip differential. Reputed to produce around '500bhp' it is understood the Ram can complete a standard ¼ mile in 11.8 seconds. Supplied with V5C registration document which shows it is correctly registered as a Ram Cobra this smart looking example is a great opportunity to own a tribute to the iconic AC Cobra.
