Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

i am pretty sure there were 998 made (mk1-3) (i have a sweet book on cobras and can remember that number for some reason), but there were loads of 'continuation' cars made after the rights were sold on. a continuation car is still 80-100k. mk1-3 cars are stratospheric, and probably all racers now.

How many Aces were converted?

I know and have driven an original, the owner was the dad of a girl I went out with who had an amazing surname and of course her dad owned an original AC cobra. Guess why that relationship ended?
