It has a personal connection to CS which I think offsets the racing history of 2601. That said, 2601 was a while ago, and I think have an original unmolested (and heavily repainted) Cobra makes it worth a little more (even adjusted for inflation, and the Brexit will have been forgotten by then).

Remember the Supersnake Cobra sold for 5.5M to Ron Pratte who sold it for 5.1M.

I just don't see 20M+ happening. What are the non-Cobra comps? Have there been any other significant cars go for that price?

And alot can happen between now and then..
It's definitely going to sell for alot of money, no doubt about it, but I'd also add that Shelby only made 6 Coupes and they built 655 (?) small block Cobras.
