Off the top this is not an AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra but an Aurora. Selling due to business reasons, if I raise the cash somewhere else before this car sells I will cancel the auction. The Aurora was a factory built vehicle with new components.a Ford Motor Company powertrain warrantyand most Auroras sold through selected Ford dealerships. It met all the federal regulations includingcrash testingwhen new. This car has 17,500 miles and still has the original paint which is in very good condition as you can see from the photos. Seats are Connolly leatherwith minor wear. Carpets are Wilton and leather trimmed with minor wear. Instruments are all Smiths. The car is equipped with a heater and AC but the AC is not working, have not looked at why. There is quite a bit of information on the internet about these carsif you wantto know more.
