Ferrari that isn't a Ferrari or real Shelby Cobra? 1969 Dino vs 1966 Cobra | The Appraiser - Ep.3

[@marksekula3400]

A few years ago Bob gave my dad a ride in this Cobra because my dad passed up buying one in 1967. Bob drove it like a new Mustang and I think my dad is still smiling. Thanks Bob!

[@genemounce8302]

I'm really dig'n this new 'Appraiser' thing...

Thank you!

The smile on the face at the end as the Cobra drives off shows a true enthusiast of the brand. Not many cars can illicit that type of response. If I was a collector I would absolutely love to have just 2 cars in my collection, the Class winner at the 1964 24 hour of Lemans Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe driven by Bob Bondurant and Dave Gurney #5 and the Ferrari 250 GTO driven by Lucien Bianchi and Jean Blaton #24.

You are a man with exquisite taste... give me John Kimberly's Pontoon Fender Testarossa or Phil Hill's GTO and one of the 63 Corvette Grandsport coupes with the original all aluminum 377 CUI and 4 58 mm side draft Webbers. Hell I won't be greedy just give me ONE... a LOLA T70 MKIIIB.

@@TheJagjr4450 Boys, you and Richard Voss know your cars ! To these, i'd add only Dan Gurneys' Eagle !

[@TheJagjr4450]

@@marcryvon Another incredible machine. Gurney Westlake Eagles - shark nose Ferrari. OR 330 P4 Ferrari? There really are so many from which to choose when you look at the sheer number of great cars built in the period, I mean diamonds. I told my parents that if time travel were to become a reality and I unexplainedly vanish without a trace, you will find me in the mid 50's to the early 70's in or in the proximity of sports car and road racing.

After watching a few of these I have to admit, this could easily be a 30 minute television show and I'd watch enthusiastically. It is a bit of a shame that it's entirely geared around valuation (yes, I know, that's Hagerty's bag) when so much joy comes from driving and enjoying these cars. The final shot of this video with the Cobra owner speeding away in his $1.5 million dollar car said it well. If you're a potential buyer it's a nice first intro to the market though.

[@Fastvoice]

I heard something like $ 2.1 million when he would rebuild it into factory specs. 😉

[@iambiggus]

Yup. Spend 75k for 2.1mil? Done!

[@benjaminbuffin9812]

He tells you about the car “through his eyes” in a way that doesn’t make him sound “up himself”. Good on you Mr Appraiser. 🤙🏼great work.

[@ekscalybur]

I'm absolutely loving the new show. I can't wait until next week!

[@ZeGermanHam]

There are obvious video production limitations, but without putting a car on a lift and inspecting the underside for condition and parts used, I'd consider the appraisal at least 25% incomplete. Regardless, this is a fun show to watch for sure. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@colincomer4566]

Hi, thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Yes, what you are seeing is a 6 minute condensed version of a 2 hour plus appraisal. It is indeed the limitations of show length but I assure you I do a full and proper appraisal to all of the cars. Thanks for watching! -Colin

[@ZeGermanHam]

@@colincomer4566 I figured you were pretty thorough! Love the show.

[@3ducs]

I remember seeing a 289 Cobra and a 427 sitting on the showroom floor at Koons Ford in Seven Corners Virginia back in the '60s. The 289 priced around $4,000, the 427 around $7,200. Both cars brand new...

[@0616ko]

[@markweisgram155]

Great show and format. That Cobra is very special!

[@marcryvon]

Yeah, without those goofy wide ankles. I hate those. The side pipes too.

[@morganleblanc730]

This honestly was great. I have been going to auctions since I was a kid and now I am 60. I personally own a continuation Shelby Cobra (CSX 4000) model and a 69 Mach1. I own these cars because I enjoy them but also because I don't lose money on them. I will continue watching for sure.

[@jackhamilton606]

I would offer, there is a niche for classic cars that are in driviable condition, especially when they are in the $100,000 + range. It's so nice to enjoy them without concern for the first ding or scratch. Pristine concourse cars are nice - but can't be enjoyed as cars should be...driven and enjoyed.

[@ericdolby1622]

The title of this is incomprehensible.

[@mikehunt8247]

This is live TV worthy. That AC cobra guy looked like has gunna cry when he found out what that thing was appraised at.

[@thebondini]

They say beauty is the eye of the beholder. You don’t really choose what you see as beautiful... it chooses you. That being said, I’ve never been able to understand the draw of a cobra over a Dino. They are really two different animals. The cobra is raw muscle... the Dino, sophisticated sex appeal. I guess that’s why I like the GT 40 so much. It put the two together.

[@stephenhenion8304]

I discovered Colin through the pages of Road & Track.... now I can put the man into pixels!!! He knows his stuff...

[@bobgnarley1]

[@joeyhill6218]

[@neils5539]

Best thing about this, they both drive the cars. Have proper insurance and keep enjoying them guys!

[@mikeholland1031]

A lot of those cobras were actually 428's cuz the 427 was in short supply. Ford had to replace a bunch of them when ppl complained.

[@vettekid3326]

Even though the Cobra has been modified from how Shelby built it, it encompasses what most people look to as the 427 features with the side pipes and hood scoop and maybe a serious collector would rather have it returned to how it was originally built the person looking to drive and enjoy it would not.

[@windronner1]

Melts the ears, heart and soul!!! That's a hell of a machine! How the hell has been able to own so long and not drive up the miles. Just amazing.

[@VirtualGuth]

I'll add to the chorus of those people who would like to see the length of this video series increased to include more details of the cars being profiled, including the portion of the inspection conducted while the cars are up on a lift.

[@pdn0018]

Literally clicked and typed cobra before watching. The cobra will always be the fine wine

[@rrotsaert]

max props to that cobra dude

[@bernardwarr4187]

The Cobra guy is right, enjoy the car how he likes. The appraiser is right to, try finding another cobra with that providence, I would love to own it, beautiful. Totally correct car as is or standard, it’s genuine either way

[@petset77]

GEEEEZZZ!!! I knew Cobras are very expensive these days, but wow!! I get that he has the original engine, and has owned it all these years. Amazing car and story. ....I had the chance to buy a '67 in the mid 70s with a blown engine for $2500. Yes, HUNDRED. I just didn't have the money as a kid to do the car and new engine. I also had at the time a '57 Austin Healey 100-6, my regular driver- a '64 Triumph TR4, a '67 TR4A, '61 TR3, and a horrible '68 Fiat 850Abarth. I didn't need another car that needed work. ....oh well...........

[@marcryvon]

The owner of the Dino sure paid a lot 8 years ago. But he bought it for love. And he drives it. Major point here. He DRIVES it. As Jay always says, those are cars, Cars were made to be driven, not becoming trailor queens, owned by doctors or lawyers as investments on over restored cars, absolutely not as they came brand new. I deeply hate those rich guys pushing the prices out of reach for real car guys.

[@ClellBiggs]

A Ferrari that isn't a Ferrari but IS a Ferrari. This is a though choice for me. I've loved both cars since I was a child. I can't decide. Edit: Dang, you said the same thing about the Dino in the description. lol

[@BrinToo]

My two favorite cars of all time, awesome appraisal video.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

The cool thing about that Cobra is that it's worth that much precisely due to its owner. Because he bought it so cheap and took such good care of it for decades, he created a long but simple ownership history. He should restore it to its factory condition and sell it for those two million dollars while he still can instead of being greedy and keeping it in the hopes it appreciates.

[@mikeholland1031]

It's his and he should do whatever he likes.

[@raymondturner6784]

Def like the Cobra better. It seems timeless to me. It's modern and classic at the same time. Maybe it's the lines over the rear wheels?

[@kenxiong6830]

I’ll take the cobra any day. At least it can still surprise newer cars. I wouldn’t pay 425k for a Dino. There’s just better Ferraris out there that will be better investments. Hagerty is doing a great job at growing this channel with new content you’d actually want to watch

[@b-e-a-r6166]

Between this, Revelations with Jason Camisa, and the Redline videos, Hagerty gets a lot of my screen time.

[@TheChill001]

to be fair, it isn't even a ferrari. Enzo NEVER called it a ferrari, it was never marketed or badged as one and only market speculators and salespeople called and call it ferrari to jack up the prices and resale values. The shelby has other issues, such as the continuation model actually made it drop in price by around 25% for a time, it did pick back up fairly quick, but that's the danger of "continuiation" series (same happened to AS db4 GT for instance). There's also the fact that true connoisseurs do not considered shelby badged versions to be the real thing, only the AC badged versions, though this is mainly in europe.

[@kenxiong6830]

[@indianapwn3s]

Not long ago the Dino was undesirable and Ferrari fans would quickly cut you off if you called it a Ferrari. Then there were the owners that bought the cars as an inexpensive way to have that Ferrari feel and put prancing horse badges on the car to show off, only to be ridiculed by real Ferrari owners. Now these cars are desirable and no one bats an eye if you call it a Ferrari Dino.

oooof hard choice but I'd have to choose the cobra

[@julianneale6128]

The Italian Ferrari and the English Cobra, fantastic old tools. It's extremely rare to actually see a real AC Cobra with (mostly) all its original parts. That car was designed and built in Thames Ditton, England. Its British with British (and not great) Lucas electrics with leather taken from a cow back in the mid 1960s in England somewhere. The gages are from the Smiths factory, its steering rack is from an MGB and its differential (if memory serves me correctly) will be a Salisbury Differential taken from a Jag E-Type. The fact that this car is on the Shelby registry is irrelevant, as if you want to know its real history you'll need to go to AC.

[@MrJett1971]

Tell me you’re British without actually telling me you’re British. The BRITISH AC Ace is one thing. The AMERICAN SHELBY COBRA is entirely different. It’s like comparing a brick to a fresh baked apple pie.

[@julianneale6128]

@@MrJett1971 the AC Cobra is an English sports car, with a Ford V8 engine. My great uncle and my dad were both car designers in Detroit. Too many cars to talk about but just quickly, I can give a couple. My great uncle designed the Lincoln Continental that JFK was shot in. My dad designed the Hummer, Pontiac Firebird and Z28 Camaro of the early 1990s (he has a 95 Firebird). He also had a part to play in the C6 Covette. The last cars he designed before retirement were the GMC Terrain and the Polaris Slingshot. All done in Michigan, USA.
