Better than the $200 at mecum
Was that sale before the awaking of the drunken Barrett Jackson bidder corps with the Ford V Ferrari movie?

Looks like a much younger Edsel Ford II in the back seat next to his father.
Yes - he talks often about being there. He also is fond of the time he spent "working" at Shelby's. When COCOA did the black/gold Cobra II driveaway at Ontario Motor Speedway it was put together by Edsel and he had Shelby show up. It did seem a little like old home week for them, even Edsel's bodyguards pulled back to about 10' to give them some privacy. Shortly after Edsel got sent to Australia we heard it was because of this "race" event at a time when performance was taboo.
