AC Cobra 427 SC ERA
1986 ERA AC Cobra 427 SC
History
Motors Corner is pleased to present this exceptional Cobra 427 Semi-Competition model, built on an authentic ERA chassis and dating from January 1, 1986. It features high-quality craftsmanship and is road-legal in France, registered with a French "collection" (classic vehicle) title. An FFVE certificate is included with the vehicle. The odometer currently reads 7,550 miles (approximately 12,150 km).
Service & Maintenance
The car has recently undergone workshop servicing and upgrades totaling €10,124, including:
- Removal/installation and hydro-blasting of the intake manifold
- Removal/installation and adjustment of the rocker arm assembly
- Installation and adaptation of the dual-carburetor setup
- Engine oil change (8L Motul 20W50) and coolant flush (10L)
- Replacement of various engine gaskets
- Modification of the pedal assembly and carburetor linkage
- Replacement of the three master cylinders and front brake pads; brake system bleeding
- Replacement of brake and coolant hoses
- Replacement of all 8 spark plugs
- Installation of an additional fuse holder and relocation of the ignition coil
- Replacement of the starter battery
- Fabrication of a brake light switch bracket
- Carburetor tuning on dynamoneter
A dynamometer test confirmed an output of 498 hp and 717 Nm of torque.
Mechanical Condition:
The Ford-sourced Big Block V8 is fed by dual Holley four-barrel carburetors and mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. The car is equipped with a complete Wilwood braking system. The entire mechanical system has undergone a comprehensive overhaul (detailed above), culminating in a final dyno test in 2026.
Interior condition:
The cockpit features ribbed black leather upholstery, a roll bar, Simpson 4-point harnesses, a chrome-rimmed wood steering wheel bearing the AC logo, and a dashboard equipped with full period-correct instrumentation, accented by a signed plaque.
Exterior condition:
The bodywork, finished in navy blue with twin stripes, displays distinctive "427 Cobra" badging and racing flag decals. It sits on Cobra-style wire wheels and features the model's signature chrome side-exit exhausts.
