A 1965 Shelby Cobra owned by Carroll Shelby in the day it was constructed till his death in 2012 was marketed for about $ 5.94 million, among the greatest prices ever paid for an American car.
The car was completed in March 1966 with a 1965 AC Ace chassis from England's AC Cars and was purchased by Shelby for $6,273, as stated by the first invoice.
Shelby modified it several times over the years with different paint colours and a stronger engine, however it had been fully restored to its initial specification in 2019 by the consigner, who bought it in 2016.
The total paid was that the second-most ever to get a Cobra behind the first one ever built, which was auctioned in 2016 for about $13.8 million.
