So - all the other stuff aside - did you get your answers to the questions above? In between the back and forth, I think they were pretty much addressed.
Hi Buzz, There probably aren't definitive answers to these questions but I have gained much insight, here and elsewhere, into how collectors feel about Cobras. A raced 289 would have a little more prestige than CSX3145. A 427 is more desirable than a non-raced 289 and a narrow vs. wide hip car is a matter of preference. I also firmly believe that all Cobras are historically significant - not just those that appeared on racetracks.
