Not Ranked
The weekend's auction results have now been posted. Of the four Cobra replicas for sale, only two sold.
A blue Contemporary Classic 427 (no. 3031) sold for $44,000. For the most part this was an OK older car, a bit rough in spots but generally fine. But the front track was strangely too wide and the narrow-ish 225 tires stuck out proud of the front fenders.
Andy's red 1985 "Aurora" special sold for $31,900. IMO his was the nicest Cobra of them all and was in the best overall condition. Not sure why it didn't fetch a better price, other than to guess that the 289 body style isn't as popular with bidders as the 427.
A green Factory Five did not sell at a high bid of $21,000. Sorry to say, but this car was a complete mess. $21K was a gift.
A red CMC-Street Beast did not sell at $26,000. This car was rough around the edges and would not start on stage, but it was not nearly as awful as the green FFR. After crossing the block, the car sat on the floor with an asking price of $27K on it. Why the seller didn't take the $26K bid is a mystery to me.
