RE: Shelby GT just sold.
ORIGINAL: kenthicken
I'm not familiar with the Super Snake -- how many did they make? What is special about Carroll's (besides being owned by "the man")? Likewise, I'm not trying to downplay the Super Snake, I just don't know anything about it. I just know more about the 'Cudas.
ORIGINAL: PERTANO
No way the Cuda takes out the SuperSnake. The fact that the car was Carroll's personnal car and that it is the lone survivor makes it almost untouchable. The only thing that has even drawn close the that number was the Futureliner that sold last year. I'm not trying to down play the Cuda's because they are beautiful cars, but that Cobra will remain top dog for quite some time. Twin supercharged 427 Cobra. Damn that must have been scary!!!

The super snake is a twin supercharged 427.. not turbo..
It was shelbys personal car and he did race ir as well..
The other one built was for bob cosby. The car and driver died in an accident off a cliff.
I'll see if I can find its auction page again

RE: Shelby GT just sold.
I think some of these high priced cars are going to be used for business purposes. For example, a cool Custom Mustang or Cuda might end up going to all the autoshows to be displayed at a vendor's booth. Wouldn't YOU be more tempted to stop by the booth that sells whatever the latest wax or polish is if they had one of those babies there? Plus they can write off the cost of the car for the business and when they are done with it can sell it to their kids for almost nothing! Sad to see that they do that but they got the bucks...
