Condition
Rolled and put away in wrecked condition early in its life, restored with a Brian Angliss S/C-style body and many performance upgrades in the 80's. Good paint, chrome and lightly stretched upholstery. The top of the engine is clean and orderly; the bottom is used. The firewall and dash are covered in Shelby event plaques.
Market commentary
This is a real 427 Cobra, but one that didn't leave Shelby anywhere near like its present configuration which makes it something of a quandary for Shelby collectors. A carricature of a Cobra, with exaggerated hips and many doo-dads, its key to value is the original CSX VIN tag and traceable history and the price it brought balances the competing issues.
