Automotive section M in Sunday's Dallas Morning News by Terry Box
The headline in this morning's (1-14-07) Dallas Morning News is about this car with a great picture of it and a fairly detailed history of the car, and a short story of the other one Shelby built for Bill Cosby.
From the article "I used to drive it to Las Vedas, Mr. Shelby said.We'd go up there to party, and there was no speed limits in the desert in Nevada. A cop clocked me once at 190 mph in thar cxar. I wanted it to be the fastest,meanest car on the road."
also "They got $20 million for a (cobra) Daytona coupe" he said. "Harly (Cluxton III, the current owner) hopes to get $10 million for it. "
This is sure to be an interesting auction, and this car, being the only one of two ever built, will most likely pull in MAJOR $$$$$, but just how many millions is anyone's guess.
I plan on watching.
