Just the empty shell body was appraised at 60 grand. The old man wanted it bad and they snatched it up for 30 grand. Then they had to add another 100 grand of refurbishing.

(33,688 posts)especially 427s. How an unfinished body shell managed to survive 45 years in pristine mint condition is a miracle of sorts. Clean Shelby Cobras are worth a fortune - especially the 427s, many of which wound up wrapped around trees shortly after purchase. You basically had a 500 horsepower engine in a 2500 lb car. The 427 Cobra was as much like a live grenade as a car.
