First Shelby Cobra Ever Built Breaks Auction Records at Monterey
Quote:

The star of this year’s RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction at Pebble Beach was undoubtedly a blue 1962 Shelby Cobra. Not just any blue 1962 Shelby Cobra, mind you. No, this is chassis CSX2000, the very first example ever built. It’s rolling piece of history, the crème de la crème of prototypes. Over five decades, it had never been outside Carroll Shelby's stewardship, initially as part of his personal collection, and, since his death in 2012, part of the the Carroll Hall Shelby Trust. When the gavel fell Friday night, it officially became the most expensive American car ever sold at auction.

Final price: $13,800,000
