Default "Time capsule" 1969 Shelby Mustang to be auctioned April 25

1969 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 with 8,531 miles from Larry Brown estate stored in garage for 40 years to be sold at auction - Autoweek

has the story. It looks very mint in the pictures though back East it's possible for a car to rust even inside a barn if the condensation gets to it every night --I used to live in a Rust Bowl state.
What I am curious about is --how did the famlly come to fhink of auctioning it? Also I would think the Scottsdale auctions like Gooding or maybe RM at Monterey would be a better place, than the venue they are choosing.
Maybe the car didn't get discovered by a Shelby buff earlier because he hardly ever took it out of the garage.

Anybody know more than is in the story?

I should call myself "Always looking" though all I found lately was a Lincoln Continental Mk/ II (which I didn't buy, not knowing the current valuations...)
