It’s amazing what’s to be found in people’s barns. An article with USAToday.com shared the latest discovery in late December.

The article says, “The latest near-perfect car to have the straw blown off the hood is an original 1964 Shelby Cobra.” The vehicle will be auctioned off in Scottdale, Arizona in January. The car is expected to sell for, “$525,000 to $625,000.”

The Shelby Cobra is also called the CSX-2289. It is one of 22 vehicles with a blue painted exterior and red-leather interior. Reportedly, the car was used for a year, “…as a demonstrator, picking up 12,000 miles and some minor damage.” The car was then sold to a man named Marshall Munger from California. The car stayed in Munger’s barn for over 30 years, until it was sold in 2004.

After only minor work, the Shelby still remains mostly in its original form. We’re interested to see who will pick up this find.
