Equipment
Good but unimpressive paint. Sound chrome, good interior. An older restoration to nearly like new condition that appears to have been static displayed since. 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 by Mecum here a year ago for $875,000 hammer, $927,500 with commission, then offered at Monterey in August with a reported $825,000 high bid. A significant Cobra, but not on a par with the Shelby road racing team cars, this transaction is consistent with its other appearances, a remarkable consistency of opinion for a specialized Cobra.
