About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Owned by Carroll Shelby from new (even though it was invoiced to a dealer, but not known to have been delivered) and offered by the Carroll Shelby Foundation. Restored by Mike McCluskey in the early 70's, then again at Shelby in the early 00's in the present colors. Rollbar added by McCluskey, single 4-barrel at Shelby. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Underbody is clean and like new.

Market commentary

For a meticulously restored and maintained big block Cobra, let alone one with a single owner history from the foundation of the founder, this is a highly reasonable price, even with the automatic.
