Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rack and pinion steering, new chrome wire wheels, narrow whitewalls, windwings, grille and trunk guards.

1965 New York Auto Show display car, retained by the original family until 2011. Underbody repainted over old undercoat and dirty corners. Good older repaint and interior. Weak windshield frame chrome. Faded, dirty gauge faces.

Market commentary

Sold for $687,500 at Gooding's Scottsdale auction in 2012. People have paid more for dirty barn-find Cobras, making this consistently maintained, as delivered Cobra a good value for an astute purchaser who appreciates its qualities even at 48% more than it brought here three years ago.
