Hi Doug,

Do you even want to try and take a guess at what Caroll Shelby's personal GT500 will sell for?

He has owned it since conception and it's showroom condition. Oh, also it's his 80th b-day...

I'll take a wild guess and say  2.4 million.

We will see saturday night...

I bet you a soda that it will be one of the fatasy bid cars.

[Nick Badame Refrig/ACC]

Nick, I was there today and Shelby will be very disappointed with 2.4 million some say he was offered 3.8 before the sale

Nick,
I think you can double your guess, and be just short of the final bid for that Cobra....

I cannot convieve the amounts of money thrown around.

Nick,
Didn't this blue cobra already go off at auction over New Years two weeks ago ? I have seen it advertised @ selling for $ 5 M. I believe the buyer was a Mr Pratt (?)

Take care and stay warm over this weekend. Still need to stop by, but I will be back in W. Va. this weekend getting my mothers home ready for sale. Not a good trip.

Hi Gary,

It's just a Wild guess...  Oh well. This GT500 is red and black.

Sorry about the sad trip. Be safe!

675k for Shelby's GT500 owned by him since it was concieved  Very low in my opinion.

that big Airport recue motorhome sold for like 40k

The Blue Cobra was presented as Carroll Shelby's personal car, built up to 800 HP.
That Blue Cobra went off for $ 5 Mil. to Ron Pratt.

Carroll Shelby took a quick ride in Pratt's turbine helicopter to his museum.

I wonder how many more Carroll will be selling ?

These are not the first " his personal" car sold I believe...

Carroll Shelby took a quick ride in Pratt's turbine helicopter to his museum.

The blue $5 million Cobra was sold at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction.  The helicopter ride was featured on Speed channel's special TV series about special cars from last year's auction.

I've watched an hour and a half of today's action so far and selling prices seem to be way down.

[tekebird]

I agree...way down....indicator of the economy when the filty rich don;t spread it around

[Gary '79 5C]

Belfert,

Thanks for reeling me into reality,,,,

I just looked and it IS 2008, Crap, Too bad for Carroll, he could have made alot more money as I was selling the car several times over for him...... Things are selling lower, possible apprehension of election year?

Have a great day all. & Sorry for my mis/confusion...

Gary
