Market commentary
This was what everyone came to see and it was a rewarding spectacle eventually won by the individual who had already paid $540,000 for the Turners 289 Cobra. This is a very important unmolested car that needs nothing. Its new owner may find it hard to put on any more miles, but since most S Cs never go anywhere but a show field that shouldnt be much of a problem. It is hugely expensive, highly exuberant and very optimistic at this price, but the opportunity to acquire such a rare and desirable piece of Shelby history may never come again.
