An 800 horsepower Shelby Cobra, once the personal car of the racing veteran who developed the iconic sports car, has sold for $5.5 million at auction, a record for an American car.
The sale of the 1966 Shelby Cobra "Super Snake" brought a packed house to its feet Saturday at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction after a pair of bidders drove the price up.

Nope, no shills. They don't need them, people that are there to buy have the money, and don'tmind spending it. Shelby's personal race car is a one of one car, one of ther most storied american cars, drivers, and histories of any manufacturer in automotive history. I can understand why it would go for so much, but some can't. That is why rumors like that get started, people who want it but get out-bid really early.

It's not shills, it's people with money who aren't affraid to spend it for something they want. Might as well, cause you can't take it with you. lol.

Yes, I saw that part of the auction on cable TV. Nice car, but a bit out of my price range.
