And that's one reason why those two vintage Ferrari's sold for $35MM+.

I can see this car being hawked as all original (how many different colors of paint ), one owner, that owner being CS being a highly valuable benefit. Do I see 35M+, most likely not, do I see the realm of 5-15M, absolutely, as there are several deep pocketed, big ticket buyers out there who collect Shelby products. I suspect the Shelby Museum in Boulder being in the running, as this would be the cherry on their collections cake (so to speak), a true one of a kind automobile of significant historic importance.
