Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual quads, side vents, rack and pinion, chrome wire wheels, wind wings, chrome front and rear bumpers, grill insert. Represented as numbers matching. Excellent paint and bodywork. New seating material is thick, dull and strange. Oversize modern black wall tires bulge out of the front wheel wells. Odd choices displayed on a desirable car.

Market commentary

Consignment 2084. Late production small block Cobras continue to earn significant prices and this cars fw questionable choices are easily corrected for a small fraction of a fair selling price. But this is still a strong price for this car. The new owner paid dearly to buy a few months after Carroll Shelbys demise and theres nothing left for future appreciation.
