1964 Shelby Cobra

• Warning: the last four photos in the set show other Cobras — a red car and a dark blue car — and are not this car; this note describes only the blue car in the earlier photos.
• The blue car wears yellow nose stripes and blank white racing roundels, with white side pipes and a chrome roll bar.
• White painted multi-spoke wheels are shown in close-up, with wide tires and no obvious curb damage.
• The black leather bucket seats look clean, with a racing harness on the driver's seat, a wood-rim wheel and a full gauge dash.
• A dash plaque reads Shelby American Inc, Venice, California, Cobra Powered by Ford.
• A separate builder plate reads Manufactured by Unique Motorcars, Gadsden, AL, with date of manufacture shown as 1964, so the build paperwork needs checking against that plate.
• The engine bay looks tidy, with Cobra-lettered valve covers and a large round air cleaner.
• The carpeted trunk looks clean and empty apart from a small fire extinguisher.
• Underside photos on a lift show a clean frame and suspension, with light oil film visible around the sump area.

Money: At $89,995 the photos support a very clean, complete FIA-style Cobra in blue, but the Unique Motorcars builder plate and the foreign cars at the end of the gallery mean build identity and provenance — the thing that matters most at this price — can't be judged from photos alone.
