1964 Shelby original Description

Here's a chance to own an Original Steve Arntz Cobra..Steve is considered the Godfather of the AC Cobra recreation. Steve tested his car designs throughout the 1970's and made major improvements in engineering..ie..Engine moved back 10" for better weight distribution and a tubular frame built almost twice as strong as the original AC cars from England. Also the fiberglass is about twice as thick and the door mounts are as strong as you could get.This car built in 1978 represents the 3rd generation or type 3 of his design improvements. He sold the company to Ron Butler circa 1981. Comes with 1981 Hot Rod and Sports car Illustrated cover feature stories on these cars Plus..an original Arntz Brochure. I might add that as a rule, he preferred Chevrolet power,...hence the big block Chevrolet in this car.
