Help me identify this Cobra
Spotted this one on the "local" Norwegian car sales web, labelled as a 1965 AC Cobra 427 S/C.
There is no relevant info. 4 speed and 450 hp is all it gives.
Its priced high compared to US replicas at approx $180000, but OK if its an original.
I“ve written to the seller asking for a chassis number.

Detailed pictures will go a long way to assist in identifying the car.

Doesn't Kirkham use a fuse box and relays like that?

CSX 4000 would be my guess, Not a Kirkham.
Fiberglass body not alloy.
Engine bay pic is the give away.

If Aluminum it is a Kirkham
It is not a CSX4000 series car
If a fiberglass body, it is a Hi Tech

It is not a CSX4000 series car??

Besides the missing dash plaque, it's just my feeling that it is not a CSX4000 series car, and that it is either a Kirkham or a HiTech.
Why, do you know something not shown in the 4 pictures?

Really?
So what items under the hood is making you come to your conclusion it could not be a CSX 4000 car? |

So you cannot tell by the pic you posted this car is not an alloy body? Wow!
This car has many CSX 4000 give it way parts on it. |

The lip around the hood opening does look like a glass car. I don't recognize the metal plate on top of the footbox and the steering shaft bearing retainer. Different than an original or a HiTech. You could be right that it's a glass 4000 series Shelby.

Let me guess, it's that MSD sticker on the fire wall that's throwing you off.  |

Yep that was funny!
The gauges look like Shelby to me, along with the Steering wheel, park brake, windscreen, side wings, etc etc.
In fact it looks like a very nice car. |

The tag under the hood says Shelby America.
Could be fake I guess.

The wipers park consistent with a Shelby - but there are probably a few other makes that park the same (Kirkham for one but it looks like a fiberglass body).

I don't see a Shelby plaque on the dash or trans tunnel and don't see one on passenger side below the solenoid, which would indicate a CSX number. One easy way is to just look for a CSX number stamped on the passenger side frame / shock tower, right?

Do they make CSX4000 cars without the side curtain ferrules or folding top lift a dot doohickeys? How about the AutoMeter gauges??? Looks like a very nice Cobra, whatever it is.
