Post by: nikbj68 on August 10, 2017, 13:55:57: I`m sure 39PH doesn`t have much different to that total, and 2,611 of those miles were added in 24 French hours! It probably wasn`t driven on the road (apart from to and from LeMans) for the first 12 years of it`s life at least!

Post by: MkIV Lux on August 10, 2017, 15:10:23: 24 French hours are indeed taking quite a toll
Title: Low milage Cobra
Post by: rr64 on August 10, 2017, 15:33:45: Believe it or not it has been cleaned up a lot and fixed up quite a bit mechanically and cosmetically since it was first reported several years ago. It was poorly stored for a long time in conditions that allowed a lot of surface corrosion to develop. It had some coachwork damage and a repaint during repairs five decades ago based on the letter the owner got from Shelby American telling them what paint to use.

   Both highly desirable, but I know the one I prefer.

Post by: rstainer on August 15, 2017, 12:51:31: Bonhams 3359, the real thing, was discussed in a long string in 2014: http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2992

   Little has been heard of the non-real-thing (see AutoRetro article) since François Duret's lawyer gave up asserting its reality after several months of dogged trying.

   Does anyone know what CSX2417 was bid to at Russo? I don't think it sold, but haven't been able to confirm it yet.

   Last shown was a $700k bid, but it's unknown if that was a real bid or an auctioneers bid ;)

   The Mecum site is showing CSX2588 as a no sale with a bid of $950k
   Perhaps something happened post-block.
