About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Originally invoiced to Jacques Passino, as so many Cobras were for Ford Special Vehicles show and display use. Very good recent paint, chrome and interior. Chassis and underbody are older and show some miles.

Market commentary

This is a good, honest rack and pinion 289 Cobra that has been through several configurations before being returned to close to original condition and appearance. Who would have thought these Anglo-American hotrods would be million dollar cars? But they are and this is a representative value for an attractively and accurately presented example.
