Equipment
Air conditioning, steel wheels with hub caps, Michelin tires, dual wing mirrors, Nardi wood-rim steering wheel, wood shift knob, center console, pushbutton radio.
Condition
Very good paint. Good chrome. Tidy used engine bay. Excellent interior. Door fits are visibly off. A straightforward and good but not over the top fresh Japanese restoration on this second-series Cosmo that, along with the Toyota 2000 GT, has become the standard bearer for Japan at high-end collector car auctions over the past couple of years.
Market commentary
For rarity, and particularly the benign air conditioned specification, this Cosmo should have sold for more without being a surprise, even with the sound but not exceptional restoration. The result here is modest by some $40-50,000, a real bargain in an important Japanese sports car.
