AC COBRA REPLICA RACC, Ron Ayers Classic Cars 1985, ALL-OVER "TUXEDO BLACK" NEW PAINT, FORD 351 CLEVELAND HO BOSS V8 ENGINE
Collectors and investors should keep the following in mind: When it comes to replica Cobras, it is essential that the French vehicle registration document accurately reflect the actual vehicle in question—including the manufacturer, year, model, and engine—in order to ensure the security of your purchase.
French law (FFVE) is very strict regarding replicas: to qualify for a “Collection” vehicle registration certificate in France, a vehicle must be more than 30 years old (as of the date of manufacture), must no longer be in production, and must be in its original condition.
Under this rule, which has been in effect since 2014 and was imposed by the French government and the FFVE, very few replicas are permitted in France.
A savvy buyer should therefore question the true legality of Cobras with registration documents dated 1965 or 66/67—unless the Cobra in question costs 2 million, in which case it is a genuine, original Shelby Cobra.
The same applies if a Cobra from a modern replica brand that began production in 1995 or 2000 is for sale with a vehicle registration certificate dated 1982 or 1986…. You should steer clear of these Cobra replicas because their vehicle registration certificates are fraudulent. Note that the French government recently launched an anti-fraud campaign targeting “fake” registration certificates.
Vehicle registration cancellations and severe penalties are currently being handed down.
The Cobra we’re offering here is a genuine classic car that will be sold with its FFVE classic car certification and its French technical inspection. This Cobra from the American manufacturer RON AYERS CLASSIC CARS will be ready for sale with CLEAR documentation indicating its actual production date, 1985—not a “fake” date like 1965, 1966, or 1974… as is often the case with many fraudulent listings.
Only 19 units of our ultra-rare Cobra were produced under the RON AYERS CLASSIC CARS brand.
In the U.S., the Ayers family specializes in restoring classic cars, particularly authentic Cobras. Thus, in the 1980s, the AYERS family came up with the idea of creating a “high-comfort” Cobra replica brand featuring a folding top, side windows, rear quarter windows, a more protective windshield, a more ergonomic pedal set, and comfortable seats.
In their interpretation of the original Cobra, the AYERS family also streamlined the running gear, since everything here is original Ford USA—so no more mixing E-type Jaguar parts with Ford USA parts, as was the case with the original Cobras.
Our model is available for sale in a premium color scheme featuring a beautiful glossy black finish—BRAND-NEW paint—combined with a ruby red interior and brushed aluminum on the dashboard, creating a stunning effect.
Our Cobra is powered by the highly sought-after Ford Cleveland HO-Boss V8 with semi-hemispherical 4-valve cylinder heads. This rare and lively 5.8-liter Ford HO-Boss V8 is paired with a matching, fully rebuilt Ford Top Loader 4-speed manual transmission.
Our Cobra RACC will be ready to receive a French classic car registration certificate in accordance with all applicable regulations.
