| Number 1 Cobra and Shelby's personal car |
|
| That's "Shelby Wear"! |
Above: Number 1 has a 260 Ford and has been painted many times. This was a trick by Carrol Shelby in the early days to fool the magazines into thinking they had many cars and to show it with a different color in each article. The most recent cash offer for number 1 from a collector, which was refused, was $26 million.
