About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

From the Thomas H Larsen collection. Used in the 1965 TV show “Honey West”, and later owned by a 16-year-old girl who had it taken away after she got too many speeding tickets in it. Restored in the 2000s Paint finish is good overall other than a small run at the front of the driver's side wheel well. The brightwork is very good and shiny. The engine compartment is detailed and shows like new. The underbody has some dirt from use but presents well otherwise. Both seats show some creasing and stretching from use and the gauges appear old. An older restoration that has held up quite well.

Market commentary

Honey West was an important show in that it was the first time a woman played the lead in a network TV series, but it only lasted one season and few people remember it. The real draw to this car is that it's a solid rack-and-pinion Cobra with good colors and no major issues. The price for it is definitely on the soft side but cars of this vintage at this price point struggled everywhere in Monterey this year.
