Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

427 Tunnel port built by the long term owner, Karl Fritz Shiffmayer, in the 70s, dual quads, aluminum cross flow radiator, black side exhausts, braced chrome paperclip rollbar, grille and trunk guards, Halibrand centerlock wheels, radio. One owner from new, 34,687 actual miles. Good older repaint but otherwise a well maintained original car.

Market commentary

This car illustrates a conundrum. Its not original but has only one owner from new albeit with a succession of performance enhancements. Is it Live or Memorex The buyers concluded its Memorex and werent ready to meet the consignors expectations. Its impossible to argue with their conclusions. This is a sweet Cobra, but hardly the Holy Grail of Cobra 427s.
