Yea, the sign said something about only 6 of them being made originally, but that Carol Shelby had approved production of 12 new ones. And the auction was for the 12th one that has not been produced yet. Kinda screwy.

Guess I did see it, but didn't realize what I was seeing. Interesting story. Those papers are probably half of the value of the car!

There was another car in that room that had a sign in front of it saying that their digital camera had been stolen and they would just like the memory card back. I figured car guys were pretty honest.. Kinda unnerving.

My car.
