It is truly a one of a kind Cobra with a race history It was raced at Sebring by Ken Miles. It was also used as a 427 pre-prototype and is a significant part of the development of the 427 Cobras. So what do you think it would be worth.





Having seen both cars , I know I would rather have CSX2196.
The current owner had the Fip Top at the 2005 WSCB and he and his wife actually took it to the track and on the cruise.





That car is not a Museum queen. I wonder how much driving the Super Cobra will get?

I spent a week with the owner at his home several years ago. He is a devoted Cobraphile and I doubt it will go up for sale during his life-time. However I can tell you an interesting story about the car and how he got it for a very low price by buying a VERY expnsive hand-made purse for his wife.
