Equipment
289, dual quads, 4-speed, silver painted wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, wind wings, grille and trunk guards.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as a factory-equipped dual quad Cobra and showing the correct engine number as on its chassis plate. Good paint and lightly used upholstery. Half dollar size dent on the right fender. Dirty underbody. Good chrome. Color changed at some point from the original white. Clean, presentable and usable.
Market commentary
This isn’t a pure Cobra, no matter what the chassis plate says, and its condition is that of a usable, and used, driver with plenty of miles. The reported high bid here is appropriate to its condition and history and could have been accepted with only twinges of regret.
