Equipment
427 engine, Shelby registry notes this car was originally a 428, centerlock alloy wheels, formerly in the Otis Chandler collection.
Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Excellent paint, consistent panel gaps and straight body. The brightwork is all in excellent condition. The underbody is spotless and has no aging. The interior is well sorted and appears unused. A beautiful fresh-looking restoration of a big-block Cobra in its attractive original colors, although it was originally a 428 and not a genuine 427 and the restoration is now a dozen years old.
Market commentary
Sold for $332,750 at RM Monterey in 2003 and sold at this sale nine years ago for $632,500. The 428/427 swap is common and the 90 more horses make it even more exciting to drive. It is something very special to own and is realistically priced in this post-block transaction.
