Equipment
Twin Paxton belt-driven superchargers, chrome side exhausts, alloy centerlock wheels, automatic, chrome paperclip rollbar.
Condition
One of two dual supercharged big block Cobras, the other was built for Bill Cosby and has been destroyed. This one was built for Carroll Shelby at the same time as Cosby's. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Clean and close to show quality underhood, showing some age and use. Ron Pratte collection.
Market commentary
Bid to $4.7 million on the block, closed later in the evening at this somewhat lower price, a tad less than Ron Pratte paid for it here at B-J Scottsdale in 2007, but then it was the star of the show and today it had to contend with the rest of the Ron Pratte collection as well as a vastly enhanced Salon Collection of high-dollar cars. On that basis it should be considered fully valued at this price, or the beginning of a legend.
