AC — 2 museum-grade prints across the catalogue. The AC Cobra 427 Mark III was built from 1965 to 1967 with a wider chassis and Ford 427 cubic-inch V8. Approximately 348 competition and semi-competition examples were produced. The AC Ace Le Mans represents the bridge between AC Cars' post-war roadster craft and the Anglo-American endurance formula that Carroll Shelby would later weaponize with Ford V8 displacement. Its long-tail evolution, Bristol-engine reliability, and dark blue identity made it a consistent Sarthe contender through three distinct eras while the marque's lightweight tubular frame influenced sports-racing design for decades.
