Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, windwings, two tops. Very complete barn find car. Torn, cracked upholstery. Complete weather equipment but aged and dried out. Updated during the first owners tenure with the hood scoop, headers and front fender louvers. New radiator and hoses installed recently. 68,293 miles. Runs well.

Market commentary

RM did an interesting exercise with this car which was traded for $30,000 worth of gold coins in 1981. The gold is up roughly 5 times since then, the Cobra is up 15 times based on todays result. One of several barn find Cobras that have crossed the auction block recently, the result here is representative.
