Equipment
Bristol engine, chrome wire wheels, silver brake drums, non-original leather upholstery. Uprated by Wayne ObryÆs Motion Products in mid-1990s to include overdrive and taller rear end.
Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Fully documented restoration with color change in 1990s. Replated chrome and paint are both still sparkling. Even as an older resto, this has clearly been cared for since. Presentation is so crisp that the whole lot borders on being OTT. Originally sold to California.
Market commentary
Ace prices continue to slowly climb, mostly due to 289 Cobra appreciation. The $280K sale price was spot on the money -- the estimates were suited more for a Bristol. Seller wisely cut it loose.
