About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Showing 15,456 original miles, bought from the first owner in 1964 by Robert Lindauer who along with his son would retain it until it was mechanically restored by Lee Holman (of Holman & Moody) but with the original cosmetics. The original paint has excellent luster with a few chips around the rear wheel wells and one around the passenger side front wheel lip. The trunk has a few scratches near the fuel filler. The brightwork has minimal tarnishing or damage. The mechanicals are appropriately aged but not neglected. The driver's seat is very worn and the gear knob is faded. An amazingly preserved Cobra that appears to have resisted even minor touch ups and his its original engine, gearbox, rear end and everything else. Exhaustively documented from 1964

Market commentary

Amazingly preserved, with 15,456 miles from new, a Cobra to dream about finding and also to dream about buying at this price. While the condition isn't SAAC Concours winning, the preservation is nearly beyond belief and there is only a modest premium for it baked into the price.
