Any narrow-body Cobra is a special and extremely valuable thing, but this particular example may well be verging on priceless. Bought new by Henry “Hank” Williams (not that Hank Williams, but he was a jazz drummer who played with B.B. King and Ray Charles), this car was a regular at many a Shelby gathering, owned for nearly six decades by a man who would become a close personal friend of Carroll Shelby. Williams drove his Cobra 140,000 miles over his lifetime, covering the last of those miles one year before his death at the ripe old age of 99. He raced it in nearly 400 races, entered it in countless shows, and was the first Black person to drive a sports car for a lap of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in it. The car is being sold by his family trust, and few cars come with a better story.
