there's the man himself one of a kind it's the only one this truly is
one of one with a great documented
history
this cobra is so significant in so many ways it represents really what was driving carol
shelby back in the day it represents something so special and for me for barrett-jackson craig and i
being shelby guys we love all cars but we have a soft spot in our heart for shelby's particularly
the 1966 427 super snake this car started life as a comp car it was shipped to europe
3015 the super snake and 3014 and two gt350rs also went on a promotional tour
to europe came back at the end of 1966 after winning le mans
427 cobra how good does it get well it's an sc that's better well can it get better than that
it's a comp car well can it get better than that let's make it into a hybrid that's never
been done before let's take the 427 let's take it back to sc specs so i can put a plate on it
drive on the streets and while we're at it let's supercharge it no matter fact let's supercharge
it with two blowers all of these innovating incredible things that you look at when you
when you're looking and observing this car you think about that's carol shelby's mind at work
the true shelby so it's a special car
his friend and former attorney used to drive up to tahoe and he was driving a regular cobra and
at high altitudes stan's ferrari would start leaving him 1966 1967 carol just beat ferrari
at le mans and he did not like a ferrari beating him on the street so went back to
shelby america and told them take that car 3015 make it my car take out the four speed
put in an automatic transmission add two blowers to it and that is where the super snake was born
and as stan mullen said the car at 140 miles an hour just exploded
let's do something that that that looks good on paper and make it happen in real life
that's what carol did and that's what the super snake embodies
something that transcends the sum of the parts it's legendary
it rolled into the auction block with the police escort it rolled up on the auction block to be
sold carroll shall be up there anticipating probably one of the most excited guys in the room
sharing the stories with craig and i behind the scenes of him driving the car going through
the roads of nevada going through towns waking people up with the loud mufflers throwing a belt
belching a fire or two along the way i mean that was the legend of the super snake and to hear it
from the mouth of the man himself his butt sat in that seat with his hands on that steering wheel
and lived those moments so everyone that touches that car and lives through that car vicariously
owns those memories in 2007 when we sold the car for the first time having carol shelby up there
on the auction block with us telling us all the stories of when he used to run it across nevada
190 miles an hour in nevada in it it would do just a little over three seconds of 60 45 years ago
only at barrett-jackson does that history live and breathe because we did it once
we did it twice and now we're selling it for the third time that's an honor a privilege and
one of those moments that you you really can't explain how significant that is to us it's got
