Hi Guys,

Watched beginning to end and there was a lot of Shelby hardware for sale and some did sell for high numbers. no Carrol to be seen but, Pete Brock and Bob Bondurant were there to help support the event. Bob even threw in lessons for the new owner to personally train him on how to drive it fast on his track in Arizona, Bob drove the car into the arena when the sale started.

The Coupe stalled at $6.8 Million and did not sell. Mecum said on screen that there was a buyer in the audience prequalified for a $10M line but never lifted his paddle to bid.

I agree with the concensus above that it was a test of the water and a magnet car for the event.....as the old song goes "Time is On His Side"

One man's opinion,
