Description
AC/Cobra – Full color 7 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad that gives other drivers in the world “Fair warning from the Cobra!”. There is a picture of a Yellow Cobra leaving a trail of dust as it easily handles a hilly dirt road. The text talks tauntingly about the super-hot Ford Fairlane V-8 mounted in the super-light AC chassis which provides “260 solid American horsepower” in a car weighing 2,020 pounds. It mentions the disc brakes, the soft leather seats and hints at over 150 mph and 7,200 rpm. It warns that “production is severely limited” at this time but, with a price of only $5,995, it was certainly worth it to “drop a line right now to Carroll Shelby Enterprises”.
