Sotheby’s
After over 50 years of ownership and without ever
leaving the care of its founding father, it is, without exception,
the single most important and history-rewriting sports car ever
offered at auction.
Potentially the most expensive
American car to ever be sold at auction, the Cobra will be
auctioned off in Monterey, California in next month. The special
vehicle was the first car ever to have a combination of an American
engine and a British frame. The genius behind this fusion was the
racing legend Carroll Shelby, who owned the car up until he passed
away in 2012. Shelby raced the car internationally and brought home
medals, many of which had never been won by an American before.
This remarkable piece of race car history will most likely fetch
highest bid on a car in history.
RM Sotheby’s has not released an estimate yet but are expecting
to break the record for most expensive American car sold at
auction.
