HISTORY
Cobra Mark III production began on 1 January 1965; two prototypes
had been sent to the United States in October 1964. Cars were sent
to the US as unpainted rolling chassis, and they were finished in
Shelby's workshop. Although an impressive automobile, the car was a
financial failure and did not sell well. In fact to save cost, most
AC Cobra 427s were actually fitted with Ford's 428 cubic inches
(7.01�L) engine, a long stroke, smaller bore, lower cost engine,
intended for road use rather than racing. It seems that a total of
300 Mark III cars were sent to Shelby in the USA during the years
1965 and 1966, including the competition version. 27 small block
narrow fender versions, which were referred to as the AC 289, were
sold in Europe. Unfortunately, The MK III missed�homologation�for
the 1965 racing season and was not raced by the Shelby team.
However, it was raced successfully by many privateers and went on
to win races all the way into the 1970s. The remaining 31 unsold
examples were detuned and fitted with wind screens for street use.
Called S/C for semi-competition, an original example can currently
sell for 1.5 million USD, making it one of the most valuable Cobra
variants. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
