It could be because it has been so heavily messed around in relation to how it left the factory.   The wide body, even wider tyres, bonnet scoop and side pipes are the most obvious alterations that will probably have depressed the price.

   Add being 'acquired....in wrecked condition..'on 24 Aug 73, plus chrome roll bar, plus more stickers than a camper van, plus fake race number....a hairdresser's car?

I have collected and recorded public domain data by chassis numbers of what might be called Cobra "values" for decades.  For cars that were sold new as street vehicles some trends come and go. i.e. what trend or trends seem apparent for a couple of years might not keep going for five or more years.  A trend that has been on going for some time now is the range of prices or gap between modified cars and substantially as delivered cars is growing.  One can't just quote raw data because values are influenced by chassis ranges.  For whatever reasons sometimes CSX20xx chassis command more value,  and sometimes anything "rack and pinion" steering get more interest, and sometimes CSX2201 and later chassis seem to me more important to the market. COX and COB prefix chassis data points also affect raw data calculations. The trend over the last ten years has shown very original cars commanding substantial and growing premiums over the market average for buyers looking for originality.  The inverse is also true, i.e. the more modified he car the less interest there is in it by buyers wanting originality in particular.

I would imagine a hairdresser would have problems steering round corners with those huge tyres !

Of course, with commission, the actual sales price is $858,000, which is pretty strong for a much-modified 289, in my opinion.
