Equipment
Braced chrome paperclip rollbar, Torque Thrust centerlock wheels, later 289 engine, flared fenders, wide tires, grille and trunk guards, Radial G T blackwall tires, wind wings, no spare or top.
Condition
There is so, so much wrong with this Cobra The later 289 engine might be minimized, but the big hips, flared fenders and wide Torque Thrust wheels and tires make it a caricature of later Shelbys rather than an honest early worm and sector steering 260 and neither the bidders nor, for that matter, the consignor were fooled by it It would probably cost $100 150,000 to undo the boy racer bodywork but in the end this is a mixed metaphor and probably should stay as it is as one of few moderately priced real early Cobras
Market commentary
No VIN tag. Nicely but not excessively restored with good paint, chrome, and interior. Modified with flared fenders and wide tires on alloy wheels into a faux S C.
