Latest registry still lists Donald Zucker as the original and current owner. It was offered for sale in July of 1980, but didn’t sell.
Brian Angliss continued making aluminum body parts in England off of the original body bucks for repairs and restorations into the early 80s. In 1984 he began producing full aluminum bodies that were very close to the original 427 Cobra specifications - being produced off of the original manufacturing jigs, dies, tooling, and body bucks. Edsel Ford enthusiastically supported the effort and provided the AC MK IV Cars with certified engine and transmission combinations. These cars were relatively high priced by 1985 standards ($47,500.00). Just over 200 examples were sold before production ceased in 1987.
