That gives us a clear picture of the origins of the car, and confirms that AC built it, but it was never intended to be a Cobra from the factory.

So it's a very nice "classic" replica built by AC with a chopped chassis that has reached $156,000 (and hasn't met reserve) with 5 days left in the auction.  |
