If this car was used in a film, it's most likely "thrashed". Every "picture car" I worked with was usually one of several built and bought for the film. Most Cobras used in a movie are just run of the mill cars, bought cheap...then all painted the same color and used doing many things like crashes, spin-outs and everything else you can imagine. Some are personal cars rented for the film and not used for driving, or action shots..maybe just parked in a driveway..static.
One thing for sure, when a cool car comes on the set, it get a good thrashing from the drivers and stuntmen long before it every gets on camera. Word to the wise...don't ever rent your car to the studios...just sell it to them.
This E-bay car appears to be a bit of a low end car...but it could be very nice.
