Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Halibrand alloy knock off wheels, chrome paperclip roll bar, white side exhausts, four Webers, quick fill fuel cap. One of six USRRC Cobras. One race as a Shelby team car, dnf at Bridgehampton driven by Charlie Hayes. SCCA raced later without distinction. Restored some time ago and consistently maintained since; vintage race prepared. Showing use but still a handsome and very usable Cobra in the second most desirable configuration next to the FIA cars.

Market commentary

Offered by RM at Amelia Island earlier this year with a $1.5 1.9 million estimate and reprised here in Monterey to a perhaps more receptive audience at a much more realistic estimate, this is an outstanding and very user friendly Cobra in the most desirable configuration of all. I know because I got to drive it earlier this year. The result here is fair to both buyer and seller.
