Both cars exploded and the Cobra was totaled. They brought it back to Los Angles and cut it up with torches and threw the parts in a garbage dumpster. I have some pictures in some book of the mess it was in.

Just happened to have that book handy! The race was 12 Hours of Sebring, 1964. Driver Bob Johnson somehow only got a black eye and a broken nose. The car is completely unrecognizable- a picture of it is in Dave Friedman's Shelby Archives book.
