Back in 1964,65 Ford showed Ferrari what American muscle was all about.
"The 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra was one of six cars built by Carroll Shelby to compete against the dominating Ferrari in the F.I.A. (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) World Manufacturers Championship for GT race class. An experimental coupe body designed by Pete Brock was built on an existing Cobra chassis, immediately increasing the top speed by 25 mph. That car won its first race, the 1964 Daytona Continental (prompting Shelby to adopt the name), and five more coupes were built, including CSX2601. After competing at Daytona, Monza, Spa and Nurburgring, CSX2601 made history when it clinched the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship for the United States and Shelby American on July 4 in Reims, France. “Many vintage race cars have a strong American racing history to share - including this vehicle’s sister car CSX 2299 - but no car can claim a finer race hour than the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601,” said Dana Mecum, president, Mecum Auction. “The legacy of its World Manufacturer’s Championship win stays with us more than four decades later, reminding us of one the proudest moments in U.S. race history and a competitive spirit of victory against all odds.” |

and the only thing keeping it from getting hit by a passing car is a freakin pole w/ nylon straps in between. I bet some kid walks by, pushes on the nylon rope, and the pole falls hitting the car. There goes your 15 million dollar ride. sheesh...get that thing off the road!

That's ridiculous. I'd much rather have a thousand other cars.

So I heard on the news last night that GM is closing Saturn by the end of the year.. and Pontiac is soon to follow..... What are they going to do with the Soltice and the Saturn version??? They have a pretty big following??
That soltice kinda reminds me of a "inflated" old Datsun/Nissan 280-Z

The Shelby Cobra is an awesome car. $15 M worth of awesomeness? No.

If any car 'deserves' to be worth 15 million dollars then this one has to be a finalist for that honor. The real question then is whether any car should be worth 15 million dollars.
