Selling or Buying a 1963 AC Cobra?

Impressed by the performance of the AC cars, Carroll Shelby combined the stout AC chassis and lightweight body with a Ford V8 engine, creating one of the best racing sports cars of its generation. Designed by Tojeiro, the first AC car was used as a base for the Cobra. The simple frame with large diameter steel tubes and all-independent suspension gave the car great handling. Warner all-synchromesh transmission was used and the gear ratios were finely tuned. Amongst the many qualities of the AC Cobra, the cornering abilities stand out, as well as the power distribution. Inside, the car is simple, featuring all the necessary gauges, nice seats and a spacious glove box.
