Equipment
CL engine, chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires.
Condition
Crazing old repaint, surface cracked but sound original upholstery. Chassis and underbody untouched except by a stream of water. New wire wheels (a decade ago). 28,163 miles from new.
Market commentary
Sold by RM in Monterey in 2002 for $49,600, then by RM in Novi, Michigan later in 2002 for $47,700 with the then-new wheels, sketchy old repaint, stiff interior and 27,610 miles. The result here is a material but not extravagant premium for originality and preservation and shows the lengths buyers are going to in order to acquire an Ace. It wasn't very long ago that $200,000 was good money for a 289 Cobra.
