Market commentary

Its intriguing history to some extent offsets its record of being comprehensively crashed and rebuilt with various pieces. The price it brought recognizes many of its shortcomings and leaves the new owner financial headroom to make up for the years of storage. A complete restoration would make little sense since it is so flawed relative to many other Cobras. The result here is as much as any reasonable buyer could have paid.
