Equipment
427 Competition car, Smiths gauges, driven by Bob Bondurant, David Piper and Charles Irwin, shown at Pebble Beach in 2012, Villa d’Este in 2012, Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2015 and The Amelia in 2022.
Condition
Restored back to original specifications by Legendary Motorcar. The paintwork and body are very good, the engine compartment is like new condition, however there is some fuel residue on the intake from the carburetor. The underbody is excellent and appears freshly detailed and the interior shows only minor wear from use. A beautiful Competition Cobra with excellent history.
Market commentary
Passed at RM Monterey in 2002 on a reported bid of $530,000, then sold by RM at Boca Raton in 2003 for $593,600. Passed at RM London in 2009 on a bid of $867,625 (£525,000) and at RM Amelia 2019 on a $2,750,000 bid. Bid to an exalted level here for a 427 Competition Cobra that has only one meaningful race win under its belt, the result here is more than enough to see it move on to a new owner.
