AC Cobra MK IV chassis AK1169, an aluminum-bodied car built by AutoCraft Ltd. of England for Ford Motor Company.
This Cobra was shipped to Jack Roush as a rolling chassis, where the powertrain was installed for the original owner, who was reportedly a close personal friend of Jack Roush. The engine is believed to be a 355 CID Ford Cleveland NASCAR qualifying engine originally built for Mark Martin during his first season with Roush Racing in 1987.
The car is equipped with:
5-speed manual transmission
Leather interior
Knock-off Halibrand-style alloy wheels
Dual exhaust
Convertible top with bows
Side curtains
AK1169 is listed in the AC MK IV Registry with documented ownership history dating back to new. It also includes an extensive collection of original literature, sales brochures, and documentation.
This is a truly unique, one-of-one special build with exceptional provenance. The aluminum body was constructed using the original tooling from the iconic 1960s AC Cobras, making these cars among the closest continuations to the originals ever produced. Approximately 480 AC MK IVs were built during the 1980s, making them highly desirable among collectors. Notably, both Jack Roush and Bob Lutz have AC MK IVs in their personal collections.
If you're looking for an exceptionally rare, historically significant Cobra with outstanding pedigree, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
