CSX 2000 To B Auctioned

And that's one reason why those two vintage Ferrari's sold for $35MM+.

I can see this car being hawked as all original (how many different colors of paint ), one owner, that owner being CS being a highly valuable benefit. Do I see 35M+, most likely not, do I see the realm of 5-15M, absolutely, as there are several deep pocketed, big ticket buyers out there who collect Shelby products. I suspect the Shelby Museum in Boulder being in the running, as this would be the cherry on their collections cake (so to speak), a true one of a kind automobile of significant historic importance.

Only two colors. The multi color weekly change is a Shelby legend. It was presented in bare aluminum, then painted yellow and finally the blue it is now. See about the 10 minute mark.

I agree. I originally said $5-10MM for CSX2000's value. CSX2601 sold for $7.25MM, the highest price for a Shelby product yet (I think). But I believe Jeff had the opinion that CSX2000 will sell for MORE than the two Ferrari's and I was disagreeing with that valuation.
