Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, 215/70R15 Goodyear radials, wind wings, grille and trunk guards.

Condition

Originally built with an automatic transmission, converted at some point to the present 4-speed but comes with the automatic and its related parts. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Old, peeling sound deadener inside the rear fenders. Clean, orderly engine compartment showing a little age and use. An honest, usable Cobra.

Market commentary

The 4-speed conversion made sense years ago but the rarity of automatic Cobras means that putting it back the way it was will probably enhance its value. The price paid for it seems to reflect that possibility and is realistic.
