About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Originally finished in Princess Blue over Red. With the consignor since 1975. The new paint is flawless. The interior is likewise cosmetically excellent. The 289 V-8 has a replacement 6-bolt block. The HiPo heads, bell housing and manifold have been retained and come with the car. An optional Paxton supercharger is included in the package as well. A solid restoration but not all correct.

Market commentary

Even a mixed-up 298 Rack & Pinion Cobra is worth more than the reported high bid here but with three others available in the Monterey auctions this week the bidders seemed to be attuned to quality and originality.
