I thought all the cars at BJ are theoretically "No Reserve". Keith Jackson stopped taking reserve cars a couple of years ago, explaining "why should I take a car I may not get a commission on, when I have hundreds of others that want me to sell their car at no reserve? I only have so many slots for the auction."
Regarding the "modified" Shelby Cobra, only two were ever made, one for
Shelby, one for Bill Cosby, both made by Shelby American, so this is a very rare and desirable Cobra for many reasons, one of which is NOT being how safe it is to drive! It may be ugly, but its historic.

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.

$20 mill for a Coupe? I thought the highest paid was around 4 mill for a Coupe, anyone know what the 'real' numbers might be?
...not to mention the 190 mph number, but it makes a good story.

Excaliber, don't forget "Who" I was quoting!
Excaliber,
I agree with you because I also had a bit of a problem with the numbers, but I have to remember where the information came from and take it with a grain of salt!
Sometimes, things get a bit foggy the further we get from them!
We shall see fairly soon as I just saw the Barrett-Jackson ad on the Speed Channel as starting on this coming Tuesday...... and this is sure to be a "Saturday night Prime Time" car!

Oops! Craig Jackson, of course! I confuse him with Keith Martin of Sports Car Market fame. Sorry!

I wonder if the old man (Shelby) will attend the BJ auction to send off his Supersnake?

He comes almost every year. Helps to show up for his brand.

As Jim said, all cars are "No Reserve" cars.........I watched a documentary type show a while back about the 2006 BJ auction........Craig stated that they have room/time to sell about 1100 autos, give or take a few and for the 2006 sale, they had a little over 5000 applications to pick from, he also stated that any application with "A reserve price" was immediatley put aside and not considered for the sale..........
The show focused on 2 different collector/seller/specualtors that had each brought 4 to 6 cars to sell...........one seller lost money on 4 of the 6, but end the end, made a few dollars all total, cause he had one great seller..........I think the other seller lost money on all her cars and was very disappointed and accused the BJ people of not giving her cars more time on the block and more "hype", she left pretty mad..........
A lot of sellers leave mad when their cars do not bring "lotto money" that they think they'll get, because a similar car got big money last year, too many speculators with pipe dreams........they show the top dogs in prime time, but if you would see some of the non-prime time cars, you'd be surprised at some of the low prices these cars are sold for................

BJ auction
i sold my 65 convertible corvette there last year and was happy with the price i received...the service was also solid...i had a problem in the staging area when my hood wouldnt disengage...they took me into a back area, put the car on a lift, hand popped the hood and we had it fix in 10 minutes...didnt miss my place on the block...I would have had a difficult time getting the price i netted here in central texas..And it was alot of fun being there.

This beautiful Gold '68 Shelby Mustang went last night for $175,000.
Amazing work by the auctioneers - It had stalled at $120-130 and looked like it was about to be sold, then they got the fever up and the bidding shot up again. The winning bidder shut everyone down when he went from $150,000 to $175,000 in one bid.
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carli...n_LotNumber=99
There's a huge list of Shelby's offered:
http://www2.barrett-jackson.com/apps...2999&orderby=1
There were some great buys too. Some big block well-built hot rods that took probably $60k to build were sold for $40-$50k.
This '65 Mustang went for $6000. Not very optioned, but still.

As for the owner, looks like it's Harley E. Cluxton III.

Speaking of Keith Martin, I heard he was "escorted" off the premises at Barrett Jackson because of statements he was making in the press box. Any truth to this story??
