I personally love the rear fenders of a Cobra (427) just like a Porsche 930 turbo, they look "Just Right" Cheers Tom.

Well, would I admit to being that goofball who has never won a BaT auction?

It is a bit of a strange looking car, but kind of neat anyway.

I did find a couple of somewhat recent JBL auctions though:

$37,400 on 6/24/20 : https://www.purplewave.com/auction/2...Vehicle-Kansas

$51,700 on 10/30/19: https://www.purplewave.com/auction/1...Vehicle-Kansas

Keep in mind both of the above are the apparently more desirable Competition models with the advanced suspension that JBL is known for.

The BaT auction was for a Touring model that does not have the advanced suspension. So one might think a Touring model will go cheaper than a Competition model.

So was $46K unreasonable?

Well for the seller, it probably depends on what he paid for the car less than a year ago, plus a new set of tires and plus the $12K for paint. He probably set the reserve to get his money back.
