Um, I watched it, wasn't worth it. You get to see a guy's ONE original Cobra that he has the host get running to take to the Meacum auto auction. I recorded it, but wasn't impressed.

Yeah, I get that he owns several, but the show was advertised as selling off his "collection" of Co$ras, not ONE. In the end, not much about the car, alot about the show's host and how he knows how to sell cars. Um, so what.? Don't get it, cancelling my DVR recording of this series.

Agree, I have watched the show a few times and it's more about Wayne Carini than about the cars and whether or not he hit the numbers on a particular sale. What I can't understand (maybe I have it wrong) is that the bidding hit 1.3 million and then he sold it for 1.165 million. Did I miss something? |

You didn't miss anything. It is typical in a reserve auction for the auction company to 'raise the bid' to or near the reserve figure.
The reserve was 1.5M. The seller later dropped the reserve. |

Just to be clear, at the end of the show, post auction, the message on the screen stated that the car sold two days later. The seller and show host sat down before the auction and the owner seemed adamant about not taking a bid below $1.3MM I think. He said no way to $1.1-$1.2MM. Something must have changed his mind.
Just curious, and I'm no historian by any stretch, but did only a few comp cars have the dry sump oil system? 3034 did not, but it was converted to an S/C for sale. Love those magnesium wheels! I want some! |

Only a few Comp cars had dry sump.
This car was never "converted to an S/C" if thats what they said... it was born an S/C.
And I don't think those wheels are the original set. |

Uh, that's what the show is about. It's not really about the cars but about Wayne Carrini and how he tracks down cars ,fixs them, or cleans them up and sells them. Hence the name of the show. The show never advertised that he was selling a collection of Cobras, but someone on this forum did a couple days ago. I don't know, I think the show is pretty interesting.

Agree. Way too many commercials. Not much about the car (CSX3034). Comp car converted to an S/C. I wonder what the owner was charged for the rebuilt carb, tune up and detail? I bet it was a lot. The car sat for 5 years, but they discussed absolutely nothing about getting rid of the old gas in the tank. |
