Great video. I had commented a while ago that although I am not a Ford guy I would have to say that this years spring classic has the most impressive Fords available that I have ever seen.

Yeah, Dana has some great cars coming to his auction , the best i have seen for a long time !!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: super car
 

How does this Shelby compare to a Grand Sport Vette ??

Re: super car
 

I am not sure how it compares to the Grand Sport. I have always been very partial to the Grand Sports, but I am also friends with Delmo Johnson. I just have to see a picture of a Grand Sport and I just melt.

Agreed... GS's are the be all end all of Factory racing https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif IMHO

Re: super car
 

I have the hard cover book about the Grand Sports and if you look at the book and all the variations of the car, you'd think they built 100 of them. The original style with no flares is beautiful. What a shame that they axed the program. GS #1 sat under a tree here in Austin for years after being damaged at a local track. The owner wanted $18,000 for it for years back when you could buy a well optioned new Corvette for $6,000. Finally sold to Jerome Shinkay in about 1973.

Tim, Jerome sure owned some great cars. He even owned my red 67. Amazing what these cars are worth. Remember back not to long ago when we all could have bought the Delmo Johnson Z06 that was a basket case for 25K? Or when the history was discovered and restored by Nabers and could have paid 300K for it? I'm still kicking myself over that one.

Re: super car
 

What did the #002 Grand Sport sell for at RM in Jan, anyhow? I remember reading a ton about it and never saw much after that.

It's being said 8 figures for the Shelby. It's going to be interesting in any event.

Can't wait to watch it all on HDNet next month! Gotta clear my DVR out so I can record it.

Re: super car
 

The #002 GS was bid to 4.5 million and was a no sale. I too have heard that the Cobra coupe will fetch 8 figures. It should be fun to see. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
