That's going to be a nice addition to someone's collection.

IF IT SELLS, probably to a museum. I always wonder if these things are sometimes just for the TV ratings and to create buzz for the auction.

Did it sell? Love the roadsters.

I think they let it go low for USD 6.3 plus commission

I remember seeing the car being driven around the streets of Kirkland Wa. one morning back in 2010. What a surprise! I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of it on the street. Great meet they ended up with about a dozen GT-40s a Cobra coupe, Flip Top Cobra and many more. Around noon the fired up all the cars for about 10 min. Amazing.

The Larry Miller family now owns it and it was delivered from Pebble Beach to the Shelby American museum a few days before the annual fundraiser event on Aug 30th. Here's a few pics I took of the car during the event.
