Description
According to the AC registry in Europe AEX 198 was originally an AC-engined Ace that left the factory in August 1956. It was white in color with green leather and carpets. It was an East Coast car, imported by AC Imports, Arlington, Va. In the early 60s the car was upgraded to a Ford high performance 289 V8 engine and 4 speed manual transmission similar to the Carroll Shelby modified AC cars of the day. The car was prepared for the engine transplant by upgrading the suspension front and rear with MG and Jaguar components of the era to include disc brakes all around and the inboard disc brake Jag rear end set up which works well in this type of horsepower upgrade. It received modified flares to accept the much larger pin drive Halibrand knock off wheels and the needed wider high performance tires. The completed car was then titled as a 1963 AC roadster to reflect these changes. This is an outstanding authentic aluminum bodied AC and is really well done in the same spirit as the Shelby Cobras we all see for figures at or above half a million dollars. This is your opportunity to buy a real AC with an authentic AC built aluminum body and powered by a strong running Ford 289 high performance engine at a significant savings. It is an awesome looking and great driving AC with the looks of a road racing Cobra for a fraction of the price of Shelby built cars. - Tachometer, Alloy Wheels, Leather Interior Surface - Contact Steve Ooley at 317-575-8686 or ido911s@msn.com for more information. -
