Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Black braced paperclip rollbar, side exit exhausts, quick fill fuel cap, quick jack pickups, carbon fiber front brake cooling ducts, Halibrand centerlock mag wheels, Weber carbs. Excellent paint, good stock 2 seat interior. Restored to high cosmetic standards and little used. Sebring spec car with rack and pinion steering, rear fender flares. Factory raced in the USRRC and SCCA and in FIA GT at Bridgehampton. Then sold to Graham Shaw and back to Shelby who displayed it at the 1964 NY Worlds Fair. Restored in the late 90s and fastidiously maintained since. Replacement engine block.

Market commentary

Certainly one of the most important Cobras, with a rare record of intense factory race team competition and no significant accidents. It will be proudly owned, driven, toured and hopefully raced to continue to enhance the Cobras history and reputation.
