Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

5 spoke alloy wheels. braced paperclip rollbar, fender flares, quick jack pickups, side outlet exhausts, Webers, transverse leaf spring suspension. Fiberglass body installed in the Seventies after the original body was used in a jet powered drag show car. Very presentable cosmetics.

Market commentary

Consignment 6851. This is an unusual history even for a Cobra, and the price is rich for the history...unless the jet car comes with it.
