That car is worth all 5 million. I'd have done the same thing given the opportunity. It belongs in a museum. People have spent more money on paintings, and as far as I know there aren't any paintings that have 800 horsepower.
Always enjoy watching old movies with lasting power. This is a classic that any true american car enthusiast shouldn't miss. For my money, this is one of the most incredible cars ever built... period!
@@danielsimmons7397 yes, Carol Shelby was the only owner of that Supersnake. The other one was sold to Bill Cosby. He sold it to a guy who died in a wreck in that one... leaving Carol the owner of the only one.
That's right, the second car was crashed off the side of a cliff I believe. The other one was the car he built for Bill Cosby, but Cosby said it was to much car & gave it back to Shelby.
Just look at that marvel, but not only that, it's the must expensivec car ever sold in Barrett-Jackson... man it makes me cry... CARROLL SHELBY IS THE BEST!!!! :D
My question is, how much will insurance quote him on a $5 million dollar car? Actually, taxes add to about half a million dollars more. Insane how there are people out there that can just throw money around like that. In other news, according to the most current Forbes list, there are 945 Billionaires in the world, 150 more than last year. Where did I go wrong in life!?
The other car was built for Bill. Cosby but it was too powerful for him so it got sold and wrecked. But you gotta look up the video when the the car got dropped off to Cosby because its REALLY funny.
The high bidder on this vehicle was Ron Pratte. Mr. Pratte is the owner and CEO of Pratte Development Company which is one of the largest concrete company's in the county. He is very well known for his elaborate rare private car collection in Phoenix, AZ.
Ron Pratte, Military Service, American Success Story, Philanthropist, but most important, Carall Shelby's #1 Fan. The country needs more Ron Prattes right now.
Great Video! Gave me goose bumps, wow, what a car, I sure hope the buyer got the gavel and that The Man autographed the car. Now I'd be afraid to drive it. Like a fantastic diamond you can't wear.
Only time i would steal a rare car like this, is if the owner would have plans to destroy it, if any owner of a car like this wanted to destroy the car, i would definitly steal it, but that's the only reason. But who would want to destroy such a beautifull beast like this one?
The last little toy car my grandmother gave me before she died was a Hotwheels 1966 Shelby Cobra. I still have it to this day. I always figured that if I made it big, I'd try to buy a real one. ...If I'm gonna make that happen it seems I need to start making money reeeaaaal fast.
I remember reading about this car in Road and Track. I busted a gut listening to Cosby talking about taking delivery of it! Still have the vinyl album he made. This car is absolutely THE ULTIMATE COBRA!!!
worth every penny..shelby gave the other on to bill cosby in 66 but he couldnt handle it so he gave it back and another guy bought it and drove it off a cliff into the ocean.
course u can register a "clone" of this or any car - as long as u get the car inspected and it has lights tail lights - turn signals and anything else your local goverment requires for the car -= mufflers ect. and once the car passes the inspection - insure it and enjoy the car - talk to your local insuring office for motor vehicle for the details for yout area as all areas for this are different
this car is Truly amazing,,,, it dont get any better than this,, if you own this, you dont say,,, i own a 427 TRUE cobra... you should legally change your name to cobra
I guess I have a mark to beat in building any car now. Was anyone else disheartened by the injustice of hearing an auctioneer start up in relation to this car? This has got to be the worst fear of any car if they had souls. Sold like a whore or slave or something to someone who doesn't care about them,..but their value alone. That car will never drive the same again.
the old guys great grandson is sitting there going "grandpawwww come on that's only $2 that's only $3 you got that much in your pocket hurry the bidder is about to stop !" the auction handler takes off his jacket and digs in and now him the kid and the other bidder are just working this old guy over just flat pistol whipping him bloody . "awe jeez that was fun huh grandpa ?" " yeah awe jeez son you can forget that trust account AND your education awe jeez wow your fucked now huh kid ? "
I have never understood why the auctioneers need to get carried away with the vocal gymnastics.it seems totally pointless. I just cannot see how it increases the bidding?. It could possibly confuse some cross eyed brain donor at a £500 quid car auction. Not people who are spending £000.000.000.
So yeah not only is as light OR lighter then your honda, mazda, or crotch rocket!! 2 not 1 but 2 superchagers.... no turbos here!!!!! 1000HP and hits up to 200MPH by the time your done reading this post. and its american made!!
@arlichar11 A replica is just that. A fake. It's pretty, it's nice and maybe even fast, but it's a fake Cobra. This is the real deal. Only two ever made, one was destroyed in a wreck, this is the ONLY one in the world. Owned and DRIVEN by Carroll Shelby. Not parked and looked at like it will be now, but Shelby raced it through the desert. Do you want a girl with nice natural boobs, or a chick with big, fake hooters? If you prefer the fake hooters, we are done here, sir.
@arlichar11 you can buy a Shelby CSX4000 still, which is a 1965 427 S/C. but alot of replicas dont have strong chassis or are all fiberglass and weak. if you buy a replica i suggest a Factory Five Racing or a Superformance. both have stronger than original chassis but only the Superformance is Shelby American licensed but the Factory Five Racing is half the cost and very easy to build and very reliable
listen, i don't give a shit what you have to say, i view cars as fine peices of art, in which alot of thought and process were put into to create. like i said, you probably don't understand the time and knowledge that is put into these automobiles, so if you don;t know what you're talking about please do not bother replying to this. thank you, and have a fun time hugging trees or whatever it is that you find "interesting"
Hmmm, but let's say you make/build an exact copy of a car like this, call it replica, clone, whatever, and build it exactly as the original one, can u still registrate it fully legal as the original if it's build good, no cheap welding in the body, no bad paint, good running engine e.t.c, is that possible, if you want? I'am curious as i one day wants to build some sort of Cobra like this,but unsure if the car would be legal as its not made from the original cars era, and because of the laws.
I have a question about this car: is it legal to registrate(if it's not registrated to be driven on roads)and drive it, even if you wouldn't because of what it's worth, on the roads like any other car? Or is it simply to powerfull, ''enviromental-harming'' or ''unsafe'' to possibly be legal on the roads? Think of it: it got over 800 horsepower(!), in a car that weights under 1 ton, how do people registrate cars(or monsters) like this and drive them on the roads at all?
Ron Pratte also owns his housing company that make 10 million dollars a month but now that the housing market in the USA is going in the sewer hes not gonna be able to get those really expensive cars liek instanly since hes gonna have to find a new way to make money with his other companies even tho he makes 10 million doillars gross a month he still ahas to pay his 10000+ employees. so really hes got alot from it and his collection must be wonderfull with his cars hes bought from B-J auction
There is such a thing as buying a rare car as an investment--they only increase in value over time--especially a one-of-a-kind car like this. Eventually it'll be sold again and the seller will get a lot more than $5,000,000 for it. Racing it would be like buying a pristine 1871 Silver Dollar and using it to buy a 2-liter Pepsi at the store.
@kbucher1977 He's only regarded as a "celebrity" at the Barrett-Jackson. I don't even know what he does that makes him so damn rich. I think this was also the year he bought Tony Stewart's championship racecar for $300,000 and wrote Darrell Gwynn another check for $300,000 after he bought the car.
as long as u got the onwership papers for the car - take them to where u get your licence plates and get plates for it - then drive it - they may ask u to get the car inspected but thats not a big deal - as long as the car can go - stop - lights work ect. u would be good to go
na man, i no...i would love to have that car, mustangs r easy to find...theres models of everyone and everyone has one....to have the ultimate one...and to no that ur gonna be the only one, mad thats awesome, but if i had the car i would prob sell it for 5 million...just cuz i need the money..
@bluenotejazz Yeah ,just something to putt around in the snow and ice so your import doesn't get dinged up, right? No heat? No problem! Just bundle up warm.
please explain what life changing experience has occurred because of this? what good does going fast? also..waste when u are only gonna show or store this.,..not race...wich is only rational reason to own..a fast car.....
you obviously just don't understand the importance of the automobile. it's okay, not everyone does, but don't say they're not important when your every day life depends on it's sole existence.
You're deluding the difficulty of top fuel drag racing because it's not easy to stay straight at 330 mph. If people can drive other supercars with stickshifts than the SuperSnake should also have it.
Damn is the auction speaker an mashine or what? Almost talks without any pause, hamnahahamanha mblahaha mamamneman blaha sold! lol I didn't get what he said but it sounded funny lol
If it was me I'd drive the shit out of it. I wouldn't drive it to the supermarket but I sure would rent a track for a day. Goodwood Festival Of Speed and shit like that.
i know that. but he could do something like jay leno and bring a camera crew in his garage just to show the world u know? if i had a garage like them i would.
ok, but what is required to registrate them on the roads If you wanted, like some requirement u must fill or so, insurances e.t.c? This is one nice car.
yes this car is legal to register and drive legally - but for 5 million dollars would u want to drive it ? lol id drive it on the track but not on the street
of course special. a part of automotive history. no offense to foreign carmakers, but a mercedes gullwing (which is the ugliest one IMO) wont sell for this much.
@pershing22 i get ur point ... every car guy, JDM , EDM USDM or Rice has to admit its shape is like a sexy women and its one of the best cars ever .... but 5 mil is to much .....
impressive car and impressive price - however when compared with a genuine classic it pales! compare the Aston Martin DBR1 in which Carrol Shelby won Le Mans 24hr which recently sold at Pebble Beach for $22,500,000 !!!!!! then we get serious and look at some of the Italian thoroughbreds and their values - whoa momma, pushrod V8's have a limiting factor when it comes to price.

That car is worth all 5 million. I'd have done the same thing given the opportunity. It belongs in a museum. People have spent more money on paintings, and as far as I know there aren't any paintings that have 800 horsepower.
I remember watching this live. Wow I can’t believe how the time flew
Nice to see it sold again this year at Barrett for $5,000,00 also,and all proceeds were donated to charity to help the wounded soldiers.
must be nice to have over $5 million in your bank account
its called hard work being smart having the right priorities having great foresight and paying attention to detail
G not even fucking moron
I know people who have been working hard for 30 years and they still don’t have $5 million. Explain this bs
G doesn't work like that.
or its called having a trust fund / family money left to you
"Well, I got stopped doing 190mph in it in Nevada." Pretty much says it all.
Always enjoy watching old movies with lasting power. This is a classic that any true american car enthusiast shouldn't miss. For my money, this is one of the most incredible cars ever built... period!
I saw this car in person at the Chandler , Az. car show right after it was sold at this auction
speaking that fast is a talent
Still holds the BJ all-time record at $5.5 million.
still holds the record!
This car was sold by the IRS at a seizure auction for only $275,000 back in 1995.
Carol just sold the car. How was the car sold in 95 if Mr. Shelby sold at Barrett Jackson? Did he buy it back?
Robin Luck to my knowledge only Mr. Shelby ever owned this one until this auction. Captainjag12 must be thinking of another car.
@@danielsimmons7397 yes, Carol Shelby was the only owner of that Supersnake. The other one was sold to Bill Cosby. He sold it to a guy who died in a wreck in that one... leaving Carol the owner of the only one.
That's right, the second car was crashed off the side of a cliff I believe. The other one was the car he built for Bill Cosby, but Cosby said it was to much car & gave it back to Shelby.
That was then, this is now!!! Appreciate the appreciation 🙏
Belongs in a Museum
This Auctioneer would make an Awesome Rapper!
All hail Carrol Shelby, that Cobra goes beyond special, and very probably defines 'awesome'.
i would REALLY like to see Ron Pratt's garage.
There's nothing like hearing Spanky auction off a 5 million dollar car.
Just look at that marvel, but not only that, it's the must expensivec car ever sold in Barrett-Jackson... man it makes me cry...
CARROLL SHELBY IS THE BEST!!!! :D

Dream car
Actually shelby did work with alot of companies, even dodge. He wasn't a strictly ford man, but did work with them alot.
The high bidder on this vehicle was Ron Pratte. Mr. Pratte is the owner and CEO of Pratte Development Company which is one of the largest concrete company's in the county. He is very well known for his elaborate rare private car collection in Phoenix, AZ.
I remember a vett sold before this for around a million for charity
Ron Pratte, Military Service, American Success Story, Philanthropist, but most important, Carall Shelby's #1 Fan. The country needs more Ron Prattes right now.
i was standing right next to carroll shelby in that vid in the white shirt
Took it out for a spin, got rear ended by a Prius.
intelligence statement . That statement is the reason he is wealthy and u are not
The car is fine. You should see the prius
Great Video! Gave me goose bumps, wow, what a car, I sure hope the buyer got the gavel and that The Man autographed the car. Now I'd be afraid to drive it. Like a fantastic diamond you can't wear.
he did work with GM actually, for like 4 or 5 years, then went back to Ford
He designed the viper and modified other dodge cars too.
Only time i would steal a rare car like this, is if the owner would have plans to destroy it, if any owner of a car like this wanted to destroy the car, i would definitly steal it, but that's the only reason.
But who would want to destroy such a beautifull beast like this one?

TWO LEGENDS CARROLL SHELBY & RON PRATT WE ALL MISS YOU BOTH .
I wanna go to Superformance to have them build an exact replica of this car
you know the guy at 5:30 bidding damn sure WASN'T on the phone with his wife!
I want to know what the bidders do for a living.
worth every penny..shelby gave the other on to bill cosby in 66 but he couldnt handle it so he gave it back and another guy bought it and drove it off a cliff into the ocean.

And at 5 Mio $ suddenly Marc Zuckerberg got interest... who keeps it up then? 😜
this isnt a ford... its a shelby cobra
...@ 4:10, Ron goes up on his own bid of 1,8......to 2 mil. Its called "Bring It On"
it looked like they were free styling...lol awesome car.
Never heard of an Auctioneer before?
"Sir I'll loan you $20 if that'll help."
Bang for the buck this cobra's a beast
i saw that car get auctioned it was amazing the crowd was roaring i also met the tetules and chip foose
Nice The car is probably worth more that movie came out ford verse Ferrari Peice of history
the old guys great grandson is sitting there going "grandpawwww come on that's only $2 that's only $3 you got that much in your pocket hurry the bidder is about to stop !" the auction handler takes off his jacket and digs in and now him the kid and the other bidder are just working this old guy over just flat pistol whipping him bloody . "awe jeez that was fun huh grandpa ?" " yeah awe jeez son you can forget that trust account AND your education awe jeez wow your fucked now huh kid ? "
Now that is a one of a kind! No wonder it grabbed the high price it did. Imagine what it will be worth today. I would guess 10 million.
I have never understood why the auctioneers need to get carried away with the vocal gymnastics.it seems totally pointless. I just cannot see how it increases the bidding?. It could possibly confuse some cross eyed brain donor at a £500 quid car auction. Not people who are spending £000.000.000.
high quality video... nice job
Faster than emienem lol
Ha this guy, em got talent but you want speed check out Twisted Insane
>>>>9:10...a glimpse of the Man who revers Carroll Shelby as much as anyone.
could u imagine how much money he has to spend 5 million on a car? wow awesome
So yeah not only is as light OR lighter then your honda, mazda, or crotch rocket!! 2 not 1 but 2 superchagers.... no turbos here!!!!! 1000HP and hits up to 200MPH by the time your done reading this post. and its american made!!

I didn't get what he said but it sounded funny lol
if you watch the entire auction you would see he bought the car before that one. Made a price then up'd his own price. He got deep pockets.
If it was me I'd drive the shit out of it. I wouldn't drive it to the supermarket but I sure would rent a track for a day. Goodwood Festival Of Speed and shit like that.

@pershing22 thats why i dont get why caroll is selling it .... i mean if would have that car i would live with it and park it beside my bed
why does these poeple even bother auction..just call ron pratt and have him buy..instead of him bullying ppl out of cars...ollol
Rip Carol Shelby. Watched him for years and always see him at Barrett Jackson. Tough guy Heart Transplant and Kidney Transplant
The auctioneer is amazingly fast, but it sounds like some wierd scary country rap song. Its so strange and scary!
Ron Pratte did not look to happy happy after he won.
at least that makes sense....but still seems a waste of money.... but hey its not mine so i dont care
what car is that? pretty sure the record for most expensive car sold at barret jackson is this
I bet the one that was destroyed is sitting pretty in his garage.
The winning bidder of this car had the recete that he signed copied and he gave it to me.
Well a new one sure.. but a 1of1 67 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Spider sold for 27.5 million. bidding started at 10
@pershing22 i get ur point ... every car guy, JDM , EDM USDM or Rice has to admit its shape is like a sexy women and its one of the best cars ever .... but 5 mil is to much .....
...@4:50, he says 3 with his right hand, and a smile................
Isn't it suppose to be 5.5 million?
The and only super snake
who has 5 million to spend on a car?? holy shit..
impressive car and impressive price - however when compared with a genuine classic it pales!
compare the Aston Martin DBR1 in which Carrol Shelby won Le Mans 24hr which recently sold at Pebble Beach for $22,500,000 !!!!!! then we get serious and look at some of the Italian thoroughbreds and their values - whoa momma, pushrod V8's have a limiting factor when it comes to price.
whats so special? whats diff in so called orig and replica? i
ONLY FORD CAN DEMAND THAT MUCH MONEY.
It's a Shelby, not a Ford.
Joe Foster, Shelby is Ford.
Beautiful 427 Super Snake!
i would to, cuz i could sell it ang get all of those cars...
Varsha...such a perfect call...."Five!"
