It will go big but in this market who knows? The quality stuff still brings money and it doesn't get much better than that. They have one of the others at Miller Motorsports Park and I think they told me they had it insured for $16 million.

i still prefer the $20k factory five version myself. I could have alot more fun and go a hell of alot faster with that extra 14.98 million

I think they only made 4 of those cars plus 1 incomplete 427 version (killed because of the GT-40)

That's funny... what a difference between the real Shelby stuff and the lame '80s attempts!

Careful. Those little Shelby GLHS cars can still do some damage. I'd love the Omni version.

You're right, they do perform well. I recall the Hot Rod article where the GLHS handed it to a real GT-350. However, I think I'd rather have an early (or late) Shelby over a "middle"...
