Shelby sale underscores Monterey’s high-end auction surge

A Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, chassis CSX2300, sold for $42.9 million during Monterey Car Week; Road & Track described it as the most expensive American car ever sold at auction. The result joins two other eight-figure sales in our continuing coverage of a week in which rarity, racing history and singular chassis drew extraordinary bids.

This update is based on the linked Monterey auction reports and their cited auction records.
