I attended the auction; it sold today for $67,000.
Yup, 67 big ones.
In addition a 3% premium to the auction company.
It had these features:
- a 3-Link solid axle
- 302 w carb
- CSX dash
- Lowback stock seats (looked like leather)
- carpeted trunk
- 17" Team III wheels
- polished sheet metal engine area
- undercoated
- Hoops
- Polished FFR louvers
- 4 into 4 headers
- ceramic exhaust
- chrome roll bar (single)
- FFR hood hinge
- FFR stock trunk hinges (external)
It had 65xx miles
It is a Mk II, FFR48xx
VIN plate said "Cobra" Shelby American
Autioneer sold it as a "Shelby".
Very well made FFR. Do we know who built it? |

I think the buyer is going to be really unhappy when he/she realizes this is not really a Shelby... |

Maybe he thought it was an April Fool's joke, and he was just playing his part?  |

Live from WPB:
On side note, lot # 73 (Lone Star extended wheel base) Sold for $34,100 at the Barrett Jackson auction yesterday. A very bland build (IE: donor motor with nowhere near the 300+HP the seller stated), not well detailed, ugly bolt on wheels, no chrome or extras to be seen, but nice paint and interior..This goes to show that most people do not know what they are looking at, they see a shape similar to the original, in a color they desire, and they keep raising their hands in order to try and win it. There is a nice 900 series SPF(351W/385hp powered) in Metallic green and another beautiful late MK II FFR (42xx I believe) that will go over the block today or tomorrow, I'd be disappointed in they do not go for more than the one mentioned above.......But again, it all depends on the bidder and their particular mood.
Bill S.
