AC Cobra Replica 428 CID V8 1965
General description :
See this 1965 AC Cobra on display in our Houston, Texas showroom.Now for sale in our Gateway Classic Cars of Houston showroom is this spectacular 2008 B&B Shelby Cobra replica. This is an excellent quality build. Under the hood, you will find a mighty 428 CID Cobra Jet V8 engine, mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. Fast is a complete understatement. With little to no weight and a big V8 up front, this thing is a rocket. This one has been very well kept and cared for over it’s life. It has only covered 4807 miles since it was built, almost like buying a new one but for much less. Inside the car you will see harnesses for extra safety. Power is out to the ground via radial race tires that are rapped around racing wheels. Whether you’re looking for a cruiser, track day car, show car or something fun, this is the car. This car gives you the feeling of driving a car that can reach upwards of one million dollars, but without the extreme price tag. A lot of the replicas drive better than the originals and allow you to enjoy the experience without living in fear of owning something that would cost an arm and a leg to fix if something goes wrong. Many parts are easy to get and the cars are fairly simple. The lack of options list is based on how bare bones these are. When you’re behind the wheel of a Cobra, it’s just you, the car and the road ahead. A true driver’s car. Anyone looking at the pictures and video of this beautiful machine can clearly see why it’s a great buy. The design is timeless. Don’t wait until it’s gone to inquire. Don’t miss your chance to get behind the wheel of this one. Contact Gateway Classic Cars in Houston for more information. Financing and shipping options are available. Office hours are Monday through Saturday 9-5pm central time. The telephone number for our showroom is (832) 243-6220 or if you prefer, you can email us at houston@gatewayclassiccars.com.

About AC
AC Cars formerly known as Auto Carriers, is one of the oldest independent car makers in Britain that has its roots going as early as 1903.AC appeared to a greater public with AC Ace, a lightweight roadster designed by John Tojeiro with a Weller-designed 2-Litre engine. Soon after, car dealer and racing driver Ken Rudd fitted his own competition Ace with a pre-war BMW-designed, Bristol-produced six-cylinder engine. This combination became known AC Ace-Bristol in 1957 -the car raced at Le Mansin 1957 and 1958.
In 1962, AC was approached by a certain Carroll Shelby to use a small block Ford v8 engine in the Ace, producing the AC Cobra -The legend was born, initially with 260 & 289 engines.
When switching to a bigger 427 engine, a completely new chassis was needed. In collaboration with Ford’s computers and the experience of the AC engineers, the new MKIII was born with thicker main tubes for the chassis, huge cross-braced shock towers and coil springs all around. This, along with the "side oiler" 427 engine, made the new AC Cobra MKIII a formitable race car. Initially a commercial failure, has now become the most replicated auto mobile ever.
