It looks about the same as the last time I saw it about 20 years ago with some minor exceptions to the engine compartment and underneath now seen in the pictures. Myself and others judged it at the SAAC convention. I remember it being a very nice unrestored car. It still looks nice from the pictures.

Looks like a nice honest car. Surprised SA only gave you 4 gallons of gas. Another 12 would have only been $3.60.

Agree doesn't look much different other than a couple of things redone in the engine compartment as well as the interior  and a bit more surface rust here and there since the last time it was up for sale. From the pictures it does appear to be much in the same condition as I've seen it over the past 20 years here and there

It's very cool to scroll through the photos posted for the auction and look at the details. I noticed the air cleaner lid does not say "COBRA.". This car seems so well preserved and unmolested that I'm guessing this is the air cleaner lid that came on the car when new. Was this common? I'm not criticizing the car at all, in fact it is fabulous, but just curious about the lid.

It is highly unlikely that the lid is original to the car. Only the earliest of 67 GT500 had the no name sand cast lid(less then a dozen IMO).  The sand cast Cobra marked lids were used after those for another 500 some odd cars then the diecast Cobra lids came into use for the rest of production. The car would typically have a black wrinkle finish diecast lid .The one with the curved R.  I notice that the auction has already been taken down.

I bet the auction was taken down because the car was sold.  I've always wanted a 67 Brittany Blue driver.  This car looked like it checked alot of boxes for many people.
