The Shelby Black Hornet Auction
The following is from the Ebay auction that you can find HERE:
THE SHELBY BLACK HORNET
Created under the direction of racing legend Carroll Shelby, the 1968 Shelby EXP500 CSS “Black Hornet” pays tribute to its chrome and green prototype, the Shelby Green Hornet. Like its predecessor, the Shelby Black Hornet sports the famous scoops and stripes, powered by a Cobra Jet 428 V8 engine with a heart-pounding 335 horsepower. It began life as a vintage 1968 Mustang, and was transformed into an authentic Shelby muscle car worthy of inclusion in the Shelby Worldwide Registry. In its next life, it could be yours.
A LETTER FROM CARROLL SHELBY
On December 2, I'll kick off the holiday season with my friends at Restoration Hardware for a once-in-a-lifetime auction of my very own 1968 Shelby EXP500 CSS "Black Hornet." EBay will host the global auction, with bidding beginning at $100,000 and with all of the proceeds going to my charity, the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation™. In 1991, I made a promise to help children in need of heart and kidney care while lying in the hospital waiting for my own heart transplant. So mark your calendars for December 2 and make this holiday one to remember for you and children all over the world.
The auction will run from December 2 - 12.
