Equipment
1991/90hp, 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, Michelin X tires, woodrim steering wheel, tools and spare.
Condition
Restored in the 2010s by Kevin Kay Restorations to the tune of over $400,000. Shown at Amelia Island, Hilton Head, and other concours events. Still every bit a show car and possibly the most immaculate non-Bristol Ace in existence.
Market commentary
After spending a fortune on the restoration no realistic seller would expect to recoup the cost and, based on the pre-sale estimate, this consignor didn’t. He was thus no doubt happily surprised when the bidders in Scottsdale swarmed on this gorgeous AC Ace, eventually committing to a hammer bid 24% over the high estimate. And it is impossible to argue with their enthusiasm. In terms of quality and presentation it was one of the best cars in the Scottsdale auctions.
