About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

1968 Pacific Division SCCA champion with 14 first place finishes prepared and driven by Don Roberts, then won at the ARRC. Repeated as Divisional champion in 1972 and 1973. Regarded as the most successful racing Cobra. Very good paint and older upholstery, particularly the driver's bucket seat. Stone chipped rear flares. Jim Click collection, maintained by Don Roberts and freshly race-prepared with a rebuilt engine and transmission.

Market commentary

Sold by RM in Monterey in 2006 for $1,237,500 and came up short of Click's expectations here where Cobras were crossing the block almost as fast as libations across the Portola Plaza bar. Bidders can be excused for becoming a little Cobra-weary on Friday.
