Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

289, four Webers, centerlock alloy wheels, Goodyear Eagle tires, matte black side exhausts, grille and trunk guards, clock.

Condition

Very good paint, chrome, interior, engine and chassis. Neat, fresh and enticing with an intriguing history of having been the Cobra that led Jim Inglese to design, develop, tune and perfect side draft Weber induction systems for V8 engines.

Market commentary

This Cobra has more history than the usual rack & pinion 289, not to mention a sharp restoration and presentation. It would not have been a surprise to see it bring even six figures more that this price based on its history and condition.
