1966 Shelby Cobra Sells for $5.5 Million

Yeah - that's quite a price even for a collector.

I wasn't much into Shelby's - I've never been a Mustang fan.

I'm more of a Corvette guy.

Cobra's ate Vette's for lunch.

You wish.

You're right, Tom. Vettes were barely an appetizer for a 427 Cobra.
In their day they killed *everything*.

Because the weighed about 1200# less than a corvette was allowed to weight
for racing. Duntov designed and built the Grandsports, but never made the
street as GM was getting government pressure about the racing aspects. The
GS's killed the Cobra. But not allowing Duntov to make and sell enough for
street use, they were never homologated for production racing.
