    The Mark !V is a GENUINE Cobra....under license from Ford, but NOT Shelby. The build quality is off the charts......16 guage alloy body...1600 man hours to build one and less than 400 were made...so....if you want a real AC Cobra and not a plastic remake (no disrespect intended)....buy an AC from 1981-1995...they also made a few high powered lightweights....the cars bring 45-70k in the USA and over 100k in England......only a few come up for sale each year.


    In the late 1960s and early 1970s the Cobra's fame dissipated. The value of the in total 1003 produced Cobras shrunk rapidly and it was hard to sell one, but then the tide turned. With modern road cars being rationalized and stripped from exciting but dangerous features in the name of safety and low insurance costs a sort of romantic craving for the brute cars of the past set in. This was felt mostly by the boys and young men who grew up with the myths of the Cobra and were dying to experience one. Since there were so few around and owners held on tight to their cars the value of the Cobra increased to a point that it became interesting to make replicas.
    During the second half of the 1970s various Cobra replicas emerged. The success of these resulted in a new and improved AC 289 Mk IV appearing in 1981 which was manufactured by CP Autokraft of Brian Angliss under an agreement with AC Cars. Later on Ford licensed the Cobra name to Angliss to distinguish his "official" replica from all the other replicas that had appeared, often of inferior quality, and Angliss took over AC Cars when the company ran into financial trouble. Attempts were made to revive AC with new cars named Ace and Aceca which were less than successful, but reproducing the Cobra using the original tools and moulds meant a continuing source of income for the struggling AC Cars for the last couple of decades.
