Denstang65 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I wish it was SAI that bought it so all can see it. Now it might be tucked away from anyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes, a middle age looking Canadian guy ambled up on stage just as the bid stalled at $1.2 million. He yelled at Mecum and the owner, Dick Ellis, "whatdayawant for it?" He said $1.3 million, then the Canadian guy said OK, and it sold. Nobody seems to know who the new buyer is.

Secondo Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I saw it on eBay back in early 2002 for $200K. What a deal that was. What a piece of history and a rare 1 of 1 made. It should be in a museum or at SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach 1 1970 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well @ least the guy was smart enought not spend all that money on a a resto- mod . The " real Eleanor " being an exception . I still like pure non modified old RARE Mustangs I am still from the old school. I wonder how the NCRS people feel about resto mod Corvettes .I hope the guy keeps the public informed about that really important Shelby.

Especially the C1s and C2s that sell for north of six figures, total stupidity for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
