1965 AC Cobra

A museum - a little old lady - a genuine 289.......following hard on the heels of the 7th Daytona coop, I'm not sure I take any more excitement... :-)

Without giving out too much information, what are the things I should look for on the Cobra to determine value? Thanks

By the way, I am not looking to buy the car but I am going to help her sell the car and try to get the best possibly price for her. She is not wealthy and I am in hopes that she will get a fair price for it. Thanks

Yep, unrestored in the museum for 30 years and I got it for $200K.

In today's market, prices between $200 - 450k would be low. There are people out there who will pay close to $200k for nothing more than a valid title. A decent 289 Cobra these days starts in the $400k range and goes up from there. Two cars have recently changed hands at a price in the low $600k range, but their condition and history were impeccable.

If the goal is to get the owner the best price, the car should be offered in a public forum of some type, such as an auction or through a reputable dealer who specializes in cars of this nature. That's not the best scenario for the potential buyer, but it is the fairest for the seller.
