About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Original except for several repaints (Sapphire Blue Dark Green Red). Shows its age with a crinkle in the left front fender and a scratch on the nose, otherwise clean and original throughout. A very good S/C.

Market commentary

This much money for a 427 Cobra hasn't been seen in a while. In fact, since Pebble Beach 1998 when Christie's got $420,000 for a very well restored CSX 3036. Rare and coveted, this very original CSX 3040 deserves the bump but also shows the 427 S/C market hasn't done much in four years.
