This car, CSX 3063, is currently being auctioned on line as a "1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra." The ad states that restorer Chuck Gutke, now deceased, said that the Ghia Cobra was eventually returned to AC Cars for disposal, but was instead built out as a 427 Cobra Roadster and used a demonstration vehicle before it was damaged and tucked back away in AC’s workshops. It was supposedly sold several years later in poor condition. One could question why, if the car went back to AC Cars, there is no record of that in their file on the car. And if AC Cars got the car back, it would have been in 1967 or later, when they were no longer making Cobras, but were making the AC 428 by Frua. Would AC have logically cut down a 96" chassis to build a car they were no longer producing? Or would they more logically have used the 96" chassis to construct an AC 428? And had they actually built a 427 comp Cobra, and it got damaged in some way, why would they hide it away in their workshops? It's the bloody FACTORY. Might they not have simply repaired it instead? Sorry, folks. Too many things simply do not add up on this one.
