Shelby Cleans its Warehouse
Sometimes, attentive buyers can find amazing treasures at cleanout sales. Things cluttering one man’s garage can be another man’s dream find, especially if said garage belongs to the American tuner Shelby!
Carroll Shelby was always focused on the future. When asked what his favorite car was, he would say ‘’my next one!’’. The company that bears his name has taken this philosophy literally by deciding to make room for more cars in their warehouse.

Old school car lovers will be interested in a very special Shelby Cobra. Originally intended as a spec series racecar, it was later used as a demonstrator vehicle. When it came out of the factory, it was powered by a 302 cubic inch V8. Somewhere along the line however, someone decided that this wasn't enough, so they replaced it with a 351 cubic inch motor fitted with a Paxton supercharger. The price of this beauty? $200,000.
