This vehicle is the highly sought-after DAX variant of the AC 427 Cobra.
DAX stands out as the largest manufacturer of AC Cobra replicas in Europe, earning its reputation over 30 years of continuous operation and remaining in production to this day.
Specifically crafted for dynamic driving & leisurely cruising, this particular model embraces the classic 60s racing aesthetics. Adorned with iconic features such as white racing stripes, deep-dish Halibrand-style wheels, a powerful V8 engine, and a manual gearbox, this Cobra not only looks the part but also delivers on impressive performance when required.
Engage the Fuel-Injected Ford V8 engine with a turn of the key in this manual AC Cobra and you’ll hear an exhaust note that matches the looks.
The DAX 427 Widebody AC Cobra stands out as one of the more aesthetically pleasing replicas, thanks to its accurate larger dimensions and well-crafted curves. Notable features include a functional hood scoop, to scale chrome bumpers with over-riders, Cobra 427 badging, vintage Castrol/Koni stickers, and an alloy center-mounted racing fuel cap, evoking the authentic 1960s racing style.
Dressed in a vibrant red with distinctive white stripes, the paintwork displays a few expected stone chips and marks, characteristic of a driven example, yet it maintains an overall excellent condition. Adding to its unique charm, two prominent driving lights at the front contribute to a distinctive appearance that complements the car’s 60s racing heritage seamlessly.
The cockpit of this vehicle ensures comfort with its all-black sculpted leather bucket seats, matching door cards and dash. With a convenient reach to the 5-speed manual gearbox, the interior is designed to provide a comfortable driving experience. The spacious footwell accommodates individuals over six feet tall, allowing for a comfortable fit behind the wheel.
Adding a touch of sophistication, the black leather dash is adorned with a complete set of VDO gauges, complemented by a Momo Indy Wood Rim Steering wheel. The overall presentation is in good condition, creating a stylish and functional interior for an enjoyable driving experience.
Powered by a 5.0-litre Fuel-Injected (EFI) Ford Windsor V8, paired seamlessly with a Ford Tremec 5-Speed Manual Gearbox, this vehicle boasts a reliable and well-matched powertrain that ensures an great-to-drive experience. Handling the stopping duties with precision are four-wheel disc brakes.
Designed for versatility, the vehicle features a fully independent front and rear suspension, complete with adjustable coil-over shock absorbers. This allows for a dynamic transformation, enabling the car to effortlessly switch between a smooth cruising mode or a high-performance machine, adjustable with the simple turn of a spanner. The choice is yours.
