A genuine 427 SC continuation Cobra with race papers for Appendix K, and a history the current owner knows first-hand—this is a car Edward has owned before and returned to. Equally at home as a fast road car or on the historic racing circuit. Key information • 427 SC continuation (chassis 12/14), supplied with race papers for Appendix K • 427 "side-oiler" V8, stroked to 511ci (8.1 litres) • Appendix K qualifying output of 635bhp, currently detuned to around 550bhp • Spare fully reconditioned original 428 engine and gearbox included, plus a spare set of gearbox internals • Rare high-rise inlet manifold and a higher-output camshaft included • Featured in Trevor Legate's book, Cobra: The First Forty Years • 3,200 recorded miles Model overview The AC Cobra began life in 1962 as a collaboration between AC Cars and American racer Carroll Shelby, who dropped a Ford V8 into AC's lightweight Ace roadster to create one of the most ferocious sports cars of its era. The later 427 SC ("Semi Competition") versions, fitted with Ford's big-block 427 side-oiler V8, remain the most sought-after of all Cobras—brutally fast, and built as much for the track as the road. Genuine original 427 SCs are now vanishingly rare and extraordinarily valuable, which is why authorised continuation cars—built to the same specification, often by the same people involved in the originals—have become a respected way to own the real driving experience.
