At the recent 36th Annual Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona, two classic Ford and Carroll Shelby vehicles was one of the auctioned products that obtained the highest bids at the event.

The 1966 427 Cobra Super Snake, which is Carroll Shelby’s personal Super Snake caught the attention of bidders and other visitors at Barrett-Jackson. Mark Fields, President of Ford, The Americas, officiated the auction and a vintage car collector from Chandler, Arizona named Ron Pratt won the bid and bagged Carroll Shelby’s personal 1966 427 Cobra Super Snake for $5.5 million, which is the highest bid ever made at this year’s Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction. Whoa! You can purchase about 183 units of brand new Ford Mustang with that price!

Meanwhile, Carroll Shelby said good-bye to his personal Cobra Super Snake and commented:
"I wanted it to be the fastest, meanest car on the road. Forty years later, it will still kick the tail of just about anything in the world. It's the fastest street legal Cobra I've ever owned."

Along with the 1966 427 Cobra Super Snake, Ron Pratt also won the bid for the 2007 Shelby GT Mustang for $600,000. All proceeds from the 36th Annual Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction will be given to Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Another Ford-powered vehicle sold at the auction includes the 1932 Dearborn Deuce, the first ever mass-produced vehicle with a V8 engine installed. The car got a winning bid of $330,000.

"We're certainly excited about this year's auction results because it says there's true demand for our products and for the Mustang brand." said Robert Parker, Ford Car Marketing Manager.
