A Snake,
No, what I’m saying is if we had all known that 3021 never sold for 3.5M that maybe a more realistic reserve (and I have no idea what the owner had set for his reserve)would have been set on the Turd. We use past sales to reflect on what a car might bring at auction now. |

CSX2196 is unique and I would have a hard time comparing it with other Cobras. Thus, what is a realistic reserve for CSX2196? I think it comes down to a willing buyer and willing seller that agree to a price. As yet it appears that has not happened. |
We all know this might not be the right time to get top dollar on any cobra but when as Ned said an SC got a bid of 3.5M a year ago and we had a 5M sale on the Super Cobra then one might believe a one only cobra like the Turd, is now worth what 10M at reserve. It’s not apples and oranges its worth, versus reality. I guess this is why most of us live in a Cobra replica world.

From on-line Motor Trend, January 7 2009. I could not find a link for the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale Beach Collector Car Auction results. I asked the Auction company to confirm. If I receive a reply, will post
" Turner announced that the Cobra would appear at the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale Beach collector Car Auction and the speculation began. Some thought the going price to be as high as $5 million, while Cobra forums gave a more reasonable $2 million. At the auction, an unnamed buyer offered the $3 million-plus final bid and the car sold. Later, the same buyer would pick up another Cobra, a green CSX 2311 with some rare options including dual carbs and painted wire wheels, for $572,400.

I think you can take any sale older than 2 years and throw it out the window in this economy. We saw that with teh Daytona Coupe Mecum thought (or hoped) would bring $10 Mill only to not have it reach $6M the first time around(and I beeluive that was some shadow bidding going on.

I have a pdf formatted brochure from the 15th annual Ft. Lauderdale auction that was held on Jan. 2, 3 & 4 2009 With CSX3021, CSX2311, 1964 Ford Thunderbolt, 1957 Ford Thunderbird, 1970 Mustang Boss 302, 1969 Mustang Boss 429S, & 1961 Ford Starliner all at no reserve & were on the auction block from the Bill & Suzanne Turner collection. All were sold including CSX3021 until the new owner walked away. This is what happens at a no reserve auction unless you the owner are the only person present. :LOL:

As I mentioned before, the new owner of 2311 lives nearby. I think it's time to call him up and inquire if he also bid on 3021 and, if so, why didn't he end up with it? I'll report back.
