This film was prepared by a client and shown at RM Auctions' 2008 Sports & Classics of Monterey immediately before the sale of the 289 Cobra featured. Today, most remaining Cobras have undergone extensive restoration, but this example (CSX 2485) was discovered, as dramatized in the clip, in remarkably original condition. Bidders responded to this example's striking originality and provenance, and vied to own a piece of Carroll Shelby's automotive legacy. The hammer fell on a winning bid of $605,000 for this well preserved American icon. For complete auction results and more information, please visit www.rmauctions.com
