About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Crisp, sharp guages. Orderly engine compartment is nearly like new, just showing a little age, as is the chassis. The original "Cobra in the Barn" restored by Tom Cotter and Jim Maxwell after sitting in Dr. Bryan P. Molloy's barn for almost 20 years.

Market commentary

Sold by RM to the present owner at Monterey in 2005 for $379,500 and still in remarkable condition with about 1,500 more miles on the odometer now than it had thirteen years ago. Its notoriety adds some value, but the reported high bid here is appropriate to its condition and well-preserved originality.
