What a beautiful car so while it was never on my bucket list, I couldn't say no to a 427 side oiler AC Cobra, right. While I have some of the original paperwork, I do have many questions about the legacy of the car. I'm pretty sure it was built around 1992 because the color code for the car is 1992 Buick poly which is a blue/green color and it is a Ditzler base coat, clear coat finish. While it has a Shelby America Vin tag, it is registered as a 1965 Ford, and not an AC Cobra kit with a CSX Vin number. Does anyone know where I could get a little more background on the build and history of this car? Thanks, Rich

Do you have the CCX (Contemporary Cobra) chassis number ?
That, along with what state you purchased it from will help, as someone might just know the original owner.
As far as the
Shelby American VIN tag, those can be had at any number of parts vendors for around $20-$25 and means nothing. Same goes for the way it is titled, as the titles and registrations "back in the day" were simple and straight forward, and there were no "special construction" or "kit car" designations. The local DMV/MVS took the MSO (manufacturers certificate of origin) from the kit manufacturer at face value, if it said 1965 Ford 2dr convertible, then that is what the car was titled as.
Will await your response, and we can go from there.
