Equipment
428/355hp, 4-speed, Centerlock starburst alloy wheels, old Wingfoot tires, grille and trunk guard, aircraft-style belts.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Put away, "running when stored", in 1991, featured on Tom Cotter's "Barn Find Hunter" and well-publicized. A dirty barn find that is surprisingly good under the mung. The upholstery is aged and stiff, but as good as many recent restorations. Runs, but doesn't stop, and is largely as it was in 1991 and before, a time-warp Cobra with some in-authentic Aeroquip/Earl's lines that a tidy owner added decades ago. It's rather marvelous and has a vibrant future.
Market commentary
This Cobra is dirty, but far from derelict, a rather marvelous find with its most important pieces intact. Under the dust of nearly three dacades' storage in a North Carolina concrete floor, dry barn, it has the potential to be brought back to life without seriously compromising its preservation and originality and brought a modest price here for what it represents.
