Monterey's Record Auction: Daytona Coupe Brings Historic Price Tag
TL;DR Summary
A 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, CSX2300, sold for $42.905 million (including buyer’s premium) at Gooding Christie’s during Monterey Car Week, becoming the most expensive American car ever sold at auction. The Daytona’s aerodynamic redesign by Peter Brock and its racing history—highlighted by its Le Mans 1964 effort and its role in American motorsport—underscore its significance and help explain why the sale matched Ferrari-like values for a Ford-powered race car.
