Default Comparison to Ferrari

One would think it would be saved for the grandchildren, isn't there one named Aaron who has made some public appearances? To me, nothing couilf be more impressive for the brand than to have the youngest grandkid driving Granpop's old car at an event like Monterey.

On the other hand perhaps there is no better time--with a possibility of fetching $5 from $10 million? Ironically, I don't think it will be a blast to drive like that twin Paxton 427 that sold for over 5 million. There was two of those made, one killed its owner. Shel himself said it was a blast to drive "when it wasn't on fire."

Who is the beneficiary of this sale? The Foundation? Mrs. Carroll Shelby?

Isn't this the car with inboard rear discs, the one finished at Dean Moon's shop?

They should put a sign on the windscreen "One Owner car."

It's not true Ferrari doesn't make replicas. When they decided to show an early barchetta, they didn't want to buy a real one so they had the students at the Ferrari technical Institute build one. But they have resisted to date the temptation to go back and make a few more of oldies but goodies which Jaguar is shamelessly doing, first with the Lightwight E-type and now the XKSS.
Jag will tempt Mercedes to make more 300SLRs or gullwing 300SLs and soon at auctions, you won't be able to tell what's real and what is a factory replica
