And $297K all in for the green Hertz 6S1051 !  Has to be a record or close to it for a 66 Hertz from what I can recall.

I was at the auction and looked over most all the Shelby's
PEOPLE are paying triple crown prices for Drivers and beaters.

Must be extra alcohol at Mecum this year. However, I watched some of the auction and many were sold over the phone or internet. I know how I’m going to sell my next one.

  Just when I tought you would get one for a reasonable price ? Then the Auction Mania kicks in?  Not a big supporter of the auctions.

I think tomorrow is the night for 5S242.
It’s a historic car for sure but priced (estimate) like a factory competition car.

Doesn’t that seem excessive for a car born a street car that was sitting on the lot as a street car?  Again,,..it’s certainly historically significant and deserves a premium for that plus what appears to be a ton or tons (no pun) of originality and paperwork?

Just looking for others opinions ....

Unfortunately, the usual result at these prices is that these cars will probably never run on a track, go to any car show if there is a chance of rain and owners may dispute the judges findings at concours events.  Hopefully they are being acquired by SAAC members or members to be and will not be left in hiding. 8)
