Actually Shelby built two of them exactly alike. He used beefed up C-4s and built one for Bill Cosby which is what Cosby used for his 200 MPH album. That one was later returned to Shelby and sold out of a dealership in San Francisco to a guy who ran it off a cliff into the ocean and totally destroyed it. When this one sold at Barrett Jackson's several years ago Ron Pratt, who had it there this time bought it for 5.5 million. The highest priced Shelby Cars are the Daytona Coupes and the GT-40s that raced at LeMans. I just saw where they are restoring the GT-40 that won the 66 LeMans race when they finished 1-2-3. That one I got to sit in after the race and it still had all of the rubber and dirt on it from the race. I tried to talk them into letting me drive it some but no luck.
