Shelby Daytona Cobra on Auction Piece in Monterey; Failed to Encounter Keep at Mecum’s Leap Standard
This Shelby Daytona Cobra coupe (CSX2601) is one of the original six built by Carroll Shelby to take on Ferrari in FIA'. World Manufacturers Championship GT class. And this particular Cobra was driven to victory by Bob Bondurant at the 12 Heures du Reims in Reims, France on July 4,.1965.
Perhaps you recognize this car, which was on the auction block at Mecum'. Spring Classic Auction in Indianapolis less than two months ago. However, it failed to meet the reserve price there, so Mecum is trucking it to Monterey for its first ever auction during the Monterey Historics weekend. The auction starts at 10….. August 15 at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey.
Mecum says somebody bid $7.5 million for the Cobra after the Spring Classic auction, but evidently, that didn'. count. Any guess how high the bidding will go in Monterey?
