  • 1964 Shelby Cobra 289

    Classic Shelby muscle was the theme at a large Mecum auction in Indianapolis last weekend, where a pair of Cobras each reached seven figures during bidding. Highlighting the sale was a 1967 Cobra 427, a recently-restored example that shows just a hair over 20,000 original miles. That Cobra sold for $1.1 million, while a 1964 with the 289 cubic inch V-8 was bid up to $1 million later in the day. That '64 model was highly-optioned and was swathed in a striking silver-blue over red leather scheme.
