Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

289 V 8, four Webers, hardtop, chrome paperclip rollbar, wire front wheels, wide centerlock alloy rear wheels with drag slicks, long tube headers ending in short side mounted pipes. AACA Senior winner, restored to like new condition (and better than it ever was when making dragstrip passes in the mid 11s.) Dragged for years, a consistent winner driven by Bruce Larson when owned by Jim Costilow and later for Ed Hedrick. The winningest competition Cobra in history.

Market commentary

Sold here in 2007 for $1,417,500, which says plenty about the re ordering of the market for old drag racing cars, even ones with illustrious histories and the Shelby touch.
