Thank God I wasn't planning on bidding or Brian would already have it hung on his wall!!

My bad! I was so blown away I had to post it without thinking to double check it it had already been listed on here. I guess my eBay alert for ridiculous and outrageously priced Shelby artifacts isn't working again or I would have posted earlier!!!

( NOT MINE )

For this, you could buy a really nice 65!

Here is your chance to own this "Original" Carroll Shelby, autographed painting. Carroll Shelby autographed this painting on his 75th birthday November 11, 1998. My father (Jim Schroeder) was friends with Carroll Shelby and painted these amazing images of Carroll through the years of his life along with Carroll's most beloved cars. The painting also shows Carroll as a Chicken Farmer, when he won Le Mans in 1959. Any Carroll Shelby enthusiast will appreciate everything about this original, one of a kind painting. You will never find another painting like this, especially autographed by Carroll himself.


My father has decided to sell this painting and allow some other Carroll Shelby enthusiast to enjoy it. The painting is beautifully framed and has an accent light that makes the paintings features stand out.


This piece of fine art has incredible value... that is why we are also offering delivery from the artist himself if interested. You would be allowed to take photos with Jim Schroeder and hear more stories about the painting. The delivery fee would be $5,000. Otherwise we will insure and ship the painting with the utmost care.

I was passing some time on Ebay and stubbled on this. Interesting car. No personal connection to the sale, just thought someone may have interest.

I met Jim in the early 80's when I was in High School. My younger brother took a liking to Shelby's and my Dad found a local 69 for him to drive back and forth to school in. The family was bitten after that. Over the years we would restore 2 cars with Jim. A 66 and a 67. Our weekends would be my brother and I driving up to see Jim, the cars and nose around to what he was doing. We would be known as "the boy's" from there on out. I think because we were always hanging around.... There was no internet, so if you wanted to see stuff you had to actually go there to see it.

My fondest memory would be how in many of those trips, my brother and I would meander down the hill to the other building ( now Big3 ) and see his blue cobra sitting there. CSX2122. We would hint around that we never got a ride in it....... Jim was always busy answering phone calls and working on the restorations to bother with the 2 kids. As we would head back to Milwaukee we would always comment.... maybe next time he will take us out. Unfortunately it never happened................... so in 2015 when CSX2122 was for sale....... I bought it. Bucket list item checked. We finally got our ride! 

Jim will be missed, that was a tough call to take when I heard the news. I second the idea of a SAAC award in his honor-

With great regret, I am listing my weber set up.

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/d/elm-grove-48ida-weber-set-up-cobra/7105788263.html

That would make for a very good discussion. Will there be money in the room to buy it. I am assuming it will be a reserve car so no one is going to steal it. Will bring lots of Hype and hopefully bring some money to the auction. I remember when the Daytona Coupe was at Indy and how the room was electric with all the people and other Cobra's that were there. It was a very cool auction. I'm guessing this will have the same atmosphere..... however will it even go on with the 50 people event limits. If I was guessing the auction will be pushed back to later date. There may be someone looking to park their money in a car and not the market, so it could actually drive the price up? Great conversation starter as we are all working from home or locked in our basements....

This # 889, Oh, please paint the cat on the side again

Tony Conover would kick my #@ss if I did that.   

If you did them in removable vinyl letters you could have the best of both worlds. Won't hurt the paint and lets everyone know the history of the car. I like the 2 day look quite a bit. It does separate it from all the other Vin numbers-
