Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Painted wire wheels, leather upholstery. Stan Hallinan estate.

Condition

Stan Hallinan's carefully preserved 260 Cobra showing just as it did when he bought it in 1964 from the first owner, James Hall. Nearly miraculously unrestored and pristine with sound cosmetics and age looking like it's a 10-year-old car.

Market commentary

The bidding went on, and on, and on, and no one would let go until this result finally wore out the underbidder. There may be another one out there like this, but it's doubtful, so if you want a 4,700 mile all-original Cobra this is the only ticket to the dance. Huge money.
