The general consensus seems to be that it is manufactured by CanAmMotorcars out of Canada. I think it may be filmed there.
I can't understand why they used the wheels they did. Tags it as a replica right off... It seems to be getting less airplay as the series moves on.
I actually really like the show.
See older thread on the subject.

The funny thing is that in the episode this evening, the kid wanted to show his friends the "AC COBRA".

Maybe its an "AmCan" instead of a "CanAm". Therefore calling it an "AC" for short!

John Doe Cobra?
The cobra featured in the John Doe TV series belongs to a gentelman in Vancouver. He was approached by the producers looking for a cobra and he just happened to have one. The TV people repainted the car for the TV series. I only meet Allan briefly last summer and did not find out the manufacture of his car. He is a BC cobra club member, checkout more photos at thier site. www.bccobraclub.org

I found out from a very nice member of the "British Columbia Cobra Club" that the car is maufactured by Can Am Motorcars in Chilliwack BC. The car was owned by a Chinese gentleman and that is why it has the european look ... the 3 spoke wheels, momo steering wheel ... that sort of thing. I am still trying to find out information about the engine, transmission, etc...
I would like to thank Jay from the "British Columbia Cobra Club" for his information.
Sincerely,
Bandit 1

Your Welcome
Hey no problem for the pics. As for the repainting, I know Allan was not pleased with the lenght of time it took the paint shop to complete the repaint. Not really sure what color it was before they painted it?
