The Carroll Shelby-tuned Toyota 2000GT race car we wrote about earlier this week has sold for $2,535,000, becoming the first Japanese car to cross the $2 million threshold at auction. It’s a stunning result. Originally, we had some doubts it would fetch such a high price, due to the fact that it wasn’t hugely successful in this lower-tier racing series, but we are happy to be proven wrong.
You can read more about the car in our earlier article, or in our old print magazine. Given the provenance of this car, it seems unlikely this record will be broken any time soon.
“Unlikely this record will be broken any time soon”. Uuuummmm have you seen the prices on the Acura Integra Type R’s lately?
I kid, I kid.
Excellent!!
You mentioned that “it seems unlikely this record will be broken”.
Have you seen the prices of those Acura Integra Type R’s?
