I really do not understand this mentality on car forums. It’s worth every penny of $5 million. Why? That is what it sold for.
Call it what you what, it’s still a one of a kind, original Shelby Cobra.
Was the $4.4 million for a Daytona Coupe a few years ago not worth it?
How about the $1.4 million for the 427 Coupe that was never actually built by Shelby?

This is a piece of automotive history that will end up in a museum.

I could have a Picasso recreated as well, it would look just as good to show off to all of my friends. But in the end it’s a worthless copy compared to the original that will never amount to anything.
