Equipment
Wire wheels with AC caps, Michelin XWX tires, wind wings, woodrim steering wheel, Stewart Warner gauges, lap belts, AC pedals.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as the second to last 289 built and the last sold to the public. Good single repaint done in 2006 in its original and unusual but attractive color. Decent original interior with good seats, but there is a big crease in the vinyl-covered glovebox and the gauge faces are pretty dull. The carpets are new. Sound and unrestored underneath as well.
Market commentary
Not totally original and not totally restored, so deciding on what to do with this Cobra is something of a dilemma. It was sold by RM at Boca Raton in 2006 for $342,400 and was bid to $950,000 at Mecum Monterey last year but remained unsold. It remains unsold at this higher bid that really should have been considered.
