Five Shelby’s To Be Auctioned at Boca Raton Concours D’ Elegance

This is one auction that any hardcore Shelby fan may want to attend, especially if they’re in the market for a new one and have the cash to spend. This year five special-edition 50th anniversary Shelby’s will hit the auction block at the sixth annual Boca Raton Councours D’Elegance hosted by Mercedes-Benz. This year at the Concours d’ Elegance, they will be honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Shelby Cobra and of James Bond. Not only that but they will be honoring the upcoming 100th Anniversary of Aston Martin. This huge commemoration will go on February 24 through 26, 2012 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Boca Raton, FL.
