About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Mostly original having a fender replaced after a period accident. Paint has gained a slight patina while the brightwork remains excellent. Seats are beginning to look noticeably worn. A stunning unrestored example.
Market commentary
The estimate might have been optimistic, but the car’s historical value and its sheer charm should have tipped the balance. Even though this was beyond #1 money, the bidders will likely be kicking themselves before too long. Opportunity missed for a rare survivor Cobra.
