Market commentary

Sold by Mecum at Monterey in 2010 for $689,000, this Cobra's history detracts from its value but it is in many respects a slice of the Shelby Cobra heritage that shouldn't be neglected. It's a real big block Cobra 427, unlike the later 428s, with a competition spec body. It's probably better in history, performance and specifications than the price it brought.
