Historic Shelby Mustang and Cobra models have been shattering records at auction lately, but this ordinary Mustang may be the biggest surprise yet. Reported to be the first ever produced-for-the-public Mustang, this Pony is commanding a $5.5 million price tag! On eBay of all places.
I think I’ll just keep looking for a nice Mach I.

$5.5 million. That’s nuckin’ futs retarded, I don’t care who you are. I wouldn’t even pay that for a Shelby Cobra original, lol.
me neither, and that’s not just because I have no where near $5.5 million for car purchases this year.
No kidding…
Here’s some of the craziness going on with Shelby originals these days:

LOL – I was watching the auction on TV when that lemans coupe didn’t sell… the commentators were speechless that the seller wouldn’t lift the reserve when bids got to $6.5m.
