Historique : L'entreprise AC produisait dans les annees 50 un roadster typiquement anglais. Le modele Ace avait, en 1954, un chassis tubulaire et des suspensions a roues independantes a l'avant comme a l'arriere. Mais le manufacturier installe sur les bords de la Tamise n'etait pas assez vaillant pour envisager de faire evoluer le 6 cylindres maison et se tourna vers un fournisseur lui-meme connu pour ces grands tourismes : Bristol. La voiture etait en fin de carriere en 1961 lorsque le pilote americain Carroll Shelby fit part d'un projet audacieux a la firme : installer un V8 americain souple et tres puissant pour transfigurer la voiture afin de la vendre aux Etats-Unis, AC ne fournissant que le chassis carrossé. Le premier exemplaire, receva un V8 Ford de 4L2 et fut acheve a l'automne 1962, le moteur etait le nouveau Ford Fairlane a parois minces. La voiture se nommait Shelby-AC Cobra, et se vendait bien . Mais c'etait sans compter sur Ford qui, fort des enseignements de la GT 40, fit passer la cylindree a 4L7 et la dota d'une direction a cremaillere. En 1965, Ford lanca la Cobra Mark II, au chassis elargi et renforce, aux suspensions a ressorts helicoidaux et bras triangulaires et surtout dote d'un V8 7L. La voiture atteignait 265 km/ h, mais entre temps la belle perdit les initiales AC au profit du nom plus commercial aux Etats Unis de Ford Shelby. L'experience de CAROLL SHELBY, qui pendant pres de dix ans de courses automobiles au plus haut niveau fera de la COBRA un vehicule extremement efficace (1re des GT au Mans 1964), mais delicat a piloter sous la pluie. CAROLL SHELBY recoit l'aide de Ford et gagne le Championnat du Monde G. T. en 1965, grace aux fabuleux coupes DAYTONA. A partir de 1966 il devient directeur sportif chez Ford. La Ford Cobra termina sa carriere avec un 7L en 1969. AC s'arreta en meme temps et se consacra a d'autres modeles beaucoup moins violent . La 427 abattait le 0/ 100 km/ h en moins de 4s ce qui encore aujourd'hui est sensationnel !
Mais l'histoire ne s'arrete pas la : En 1983 , la societe anglaise CP Autokraft specialisee dans la fourniture de pieces detachees aux possesseurs d' AC Cobra, annonca la commercialisation de l'AC Mark IV 4L9, construite avec l'outillage et les gabarits d'origine sur le site du vieux circuit de Brooklands . En 1986, Ford autorisa l'emploi de l'appellation Cobra. Seulement 401 roadsters AC COBRA 427 ont ete construits entre 1965 et 1968 par Shelby. Cette Cobra n'est pas une Shelby mais represente la continuite de la marque et est d'ailleurs reference dans le livre des AC Cobra. L'etat de la voiture est reellement splendide, s'agissant d'une 429, c'est la plus exclusive et la plus puissante. Il s'agit d'une street version c'est pourquoi il n'y a pas d'arceau ni de pots d'echappement lateraux, La finition est excellente ainsi que la peinture. les jantes sont des Halibrand Il n'y eu que 10 AC Cobra Mk IV par Autokraft en 427, et une seule celle -ci en 429 c'est donc une rarete absolue
