Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

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

Reported sold by Mecum at Kissimmee in January 2011 for $927,500, the consignors expectation in bringing it back to auction in Monterey is obscure. This is a drag racing Cobra offered in a road racing environment and it not surprisingly fell short of garnering much excitement.
