Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake
Fox News has a story about a Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake being sold at auction for $5.5 million. Although not a world record, this is the highest ever paid for an American car.
And when you see the spec for this car, it becomes clear why it sold for so much. Made in 1966, the Super Snake added twin superchargers to the 427 Ford V8 - that gave it a 0-60mph time of around 3 seconds, unimagineable acceleration at the time.
Now that’s what I call hairy…
Oooooooooh

That reminds me of a story, Evil. Years ago I lived in Zimbabwe and there was precisely one Lamborghini in the whole country. The guy who imported it soon crashed it and sold it on to someone who fixed it up and…. crashed it again. So he sold it and it was patched together again, only to wind up as a pile of junk at the side of the road yet again. This went on for years and it would not surprise me if that poor old Lambo was still there, being glued and taped together and then stuffed into the nearest tree. Such a shame.
