I agree the blue LS6 went for more than the Motion vette, that seems odd...

[Mr. T]

Wasn't the 68 Motion Vette the one TRM was trying to sell sometime ago?

[MosportGreen66]

yes. Owner is Dave Belk

Another car that blew me away was $510K for a shelby recreation.

[/ QUOTE ]Came to $553K with the 8% Buyer Premium but hey, Who's counting when you get into them digits?? I bet Charley's Real Super Snake would pull a Million at next years Scottsdale event!

[JChlupsa]

Big difference is I believe Charley has all the DOCs to prove what it is!!!!!

I think the difference in the sales of the cars,was how they were promoted prior to the sale and again the paperwork for them.

How did the 68 L89 Vette #416 do? I see Jim had the Tank Sticker for the 68 L89 car showng the L89 option at the center top of the sticker

[Charley Lillard]

There was a 69 red Vette that was a supposed L89 but no paperwork talked about that only brought 49K.
As for the GT500E that sold for 510K... There was mention of some of the proceeds going to charity. It is a current car built by Unique Performance that probably has a MSRP of 130K. The bidders were both phone bidders. If I were Unique, what better way to pump up the value of my other cars is there than to show the world that one sells for 510K. I'm not saying that is what happened but who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for a 68 Mustang that has been built into a Shelby ?

[JIM]

Hi; 416 had the Tank Sticker. It was an Original #'s match car with original stamps, IU code. It had an Unhit body. Nicely optioned. I Consigned it for the Owner. I tried to attach a copy of the tank sticker here, but the file was too big. Any Ideas?. Jim

If it was actually for sale, It would probably pull in the hemi cuda convertible range.

[/ QUOTE ]The Super Snake holds More Automotive Historical Significance than any Hemi Cuda. Documents are Nice. Many are Forged. Protect O Plate Makers available at Auctions. And I am certain the GT500E comes with a Folder Full of Carefully printed and Signed Papers including that World Famous Swirly Autograph of the Legend himself authorizing the Car. I saw the actual Footage of Carroll Shelby Burning up the Track in the Super Snake! Now That was Documentation at it's BEST! But I am Partial to Shelby products and this is admittedly a Biased opinion!!
