U.S. auction house Russo & Steele has gathered an impressive array of over 250 classic cars for auction during Monterey Classic Car Week in California on August 12–14. The top-priced lot is this stunning 1963 Shelby Cobra CSX2009, specially built for the FIA/SCCA racing circuit with many victories to its credit from 1962–1971. Following an illustrious career the car was purchased by its current owner and restored over a ten-year period to Concours-winning standards. It’s estimated at $900,000 – $1.2 million.
Also on offer is another Shelby Cobra, this one from 1965, a late production Mk 1 in impeccable condition; a beautiful 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC, one of the most original models in existence; a handsome 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4; a stunning early production concours-winning 1966 Lamborghini 350GT; and a mint condition 1968 Aston Martin DB6, originally owned by Volkswagen AG President Heinrich Nordhoff. No doubt he only drove it at night so no-one could rat out his unpatriotic purchase.
