1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601
Sold for: $7,685,000
Auction House: Mecum
The top moneymaker of the long weekend is this '65 Shelby Daytona Coupe. The "Daytona" moniker comes from the model's first race - the 1964 Daytona Continental, which it won. A total of six,including this vehicle, were built by the now almost mythical designer Carroll Shelby to compete with Ferrari at the FIA World Manufacturers Championship. And it was this specific car, in fact, that bested all comers at that race in 1965. At that race, in France, the driver was the legendary Bob Bondurant; at the auction in Pebble Beach on Saturday, Bondurant drove the car up the ramp at the auction. The result: A new record for an American automobile sold at public auction.
