Here is a very clean AKL for sale in the US. I have seen this car at couple of local events. Very well maintained.

My MKIV is now lighter than a "Lightweight" but only the L in AKL1472 make it the real thing.[8D]

A couple of years ago I attended a Mustang / Ford event in Savannah Georgia. There I met Bill Blincoe, the owner of AKL1474. It was somewhat of a special moment for both of us to have two AK's present at the same event. With a reported 184 or less in the US, this was quite a coincidence. This was the first AK I had even seen other than my car and obviously the first AKL. Bill's car was beautiful with very low mileage. Bill is considering selling his AKL but would like to have some guidance regarding the price.
   
   This is a black 1993 Lightweight with 2600 miles. 345HP, GT40 SPEC, 302 EFI.

Well I finally got my carburetor to EFI completed. It still needs some detail work and fine tuning but back home under it's blanky.
   This is an Eight Stack EFI system with no fuel rails. Looks like Webers but fuel injection.

In the past I recall a part list assembled for the MKIV. If this list is available, please direct me to it. I am still on the hunt for a radiator fan switch for my MKIV. I would greatly appreciate any source for this switch.

Dear MKIV owners,
   
   This past weekend I participated in the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance in the Club Car Jamboree because my MKIV is not old enough (1972 or older) for the concours event. This year there was a special event called "A British Thing". A couple of years back there was a similar British theme but my Cobra was overlooked instead there were two BMW Minis in the line up. I guess they thought I had a kit car. This year I got lucky, They pick me to be in the parade of 10 British Things. I was the first in line and the first at the podium. I shut off the car and looked at the MC, at that moment I knew I was in trouble. I could see he did not know what the car was. He approached me and ask my name on the PA system then stalled. I figured I had the perfect solution that could not be questioned so I handed him the original window stacker from the Ford dealership with a large AC Logo. He read the first line "1986 Autokraft AC MKIV" then added "a Shelby Cobra replica". I was pissed but did not call he out because I did not want to embarrass him. But he was not done with me. He then told me I had won second place in the Hagerty's award but did not hand me trophy. Later a few of the Host were together in the shade. As I walked past, one commended me on my award. I said thank you but I did not receive anything. He graciously said "OH it is beautiful, lets go get it". Then one of the other host said wait, they made a mistake you did not win.
   
   On the bright side, in Sunday's concours event there were a number of "Real Cobras" both MKII's and MKIII's. Both MKIII's were street versions with no hood scoops and 428's. One belonging to Jim Maxwell is original including the paint. The best was Ron Finger's original USRRC factory race car. My MKIV looked much nicer then any of the original Cobras. There was only one kit car built in 2009 in the entire event but it was in a concour category for modified Fords as a 1967. So my question is should I buy a Pinto or tell them my Cobra is a 1967?

   Sincerely,

To all, my buddy Parnell Strickland have a matching numbers Ford 427 with a five speed transmission for sale. It is posted on Ebay. Type in "Ford 427 FE 425 HP numbers matching" and it should pop up.

I am in the process on installing fuel injection. My buddy leading the project in concerned the existing copper fuel line may not be large enought to deliver the proper volume for the fuel injection system. A 45PSI electric pump is being installed at the tank. Please advise.  [?]

I have a 1986 MK IV with a carburetor. Planning to convert it to www.eightstack.com fuel injection. Does my fuel tank have an existing fuel return fitting? If not, any suggestion how and where I should install one?
