Original Cobra, Next Best Thing
 
So you can't afford an original Cobra, well here is the next best thing, the Father of the Cobra, AC Ace 2.6. Some assembly required! Stole it from the AC Owners Club sight. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1430137

So all you have to do is visualize and 3d print all the missing parts

What the ....
 
Umm. I am not sure that should even count as a car.....


The weeds and stack of pallets in the photos are a nice touch. Giving the appearance of an abandoned warehouse which seems about right.

Wrong body, yours is for the earlier Ace, Ac and Bristol engines. The one above is for the 2.6 Ford Zephyr engine Ace, with the body style that CSX2000 came from. I used to hate the early style Ace's, but now I kind of like the front end, plus SCCA class champion five years in a row, even after the powers that be kept bumping the mighty little Bristol 2.0L up two classes, the Cobra never did that!

Just saw, the car at the top of this page sold for 202,500 Pounds Sterling, that's $266,456 and don't forget the 59 cents! Sorry, I just passed out for a few minutes.

I think you forgot the "parts", between the words "car" and "at," in your post above... ;)



Needs a lot more "parts" to be a car!:p

Yah, that's why the final price about made me pass out! At this rate an AC Invalid car will be worth six figures by the end of the decade!

Yes...
 
amazing!

I actually find the shape of the Frua coupe quite attractive. It fits in with some of the beautiful 60's and 70's Italian coupes like the Iso Grifo and the best looking of them all - if not the best looking coupe of all time - the Maserati Ghibli.

Not for the faint hearted or those with shallow pockets. Ask me how I know ....
