About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Believed to be the 100th production car. Original leather from a different Cobra, nevertheless dry and worn but usable. Old 1980s repaint that definitely looks 40 years old. Aged original door panels and dash. Dirty wheel spokes and brakes. Faded badges. A real deal Cobra, but not a great one.

Market commentary

The reported high bid here is all (and more) the money for it.
