Color analyst Bill Stevens did not aquit himself too well on the yellow '69 Boss 302. He kept harping about the missing side vent saying the '69 fastbacks had them and the '70s didn't. Uh, Bill, no Boss 302s had the side vent. Ford used the standard fastback fender for the 302s. All other performance '69s, including Boss 429s, Mach 1s, and Shelby's had the scoop. Boss 302s did not.
Just back from the Mecum auction here in Indianapolis and the Shelby "King Cobra" sold for a hammer price of $600K.
There was an MSO Heritage FGT, S/N 1550, I believe 4 option car with 534 miles and a Henessey exhast which went for a hammer price of $171K.
Quite a few of all types of Shelby's......
Wow, sounds like a great deal for the Heritage!
I'm surprised at the bids on the Daytona. It didn't get close to the pre-auction estimate. The prices on the cobras were strong and the bids on the GT40s seemed about right.
Dana Mecum also said someone with a 10m line of credit did not even bid, which is one reason why he didnt sell the car. I was somewhat impressed that the potential buyer still didnt budge on price with all the cameras, attention, etc...way to stick to your guns! He could have had the car for $600k more than his bid but refused to bid against himself. On a car that rare, with such a high pre-auction estimate I would have been tempted...
