Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Lefthand drive. Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, wood dashboard panels. Converted some years ago with a 289 Ford V 8, T10 gearbox and Salisbury differential. Good older paint and interior all showing some age. A sound and usable example of the Cobra coupe AC and Shelby never got around to making.

Market commentary

It would probably be worth more with the original Bristol engine, but wouldnt be nearly as fast. This result is appropriate to its condition, history and potential.
