While nowhere near as valuable as say, the first 1965 Shelby GT350 built, the last 1970 Shelby GT350 is still a very valuable, and surprisingly original car. RM Auctions will be putting it up for bid next weekend at its annual Monterey auction event.
A well-optioned, low-weight ‘62 Bel Air with a 409 ci V-8 managed to sell for an impressive $110,000 at this past weekend’s Don Davis Collection Auction. While not the highest price ever paid for a bubbletop Chevy, it does show that the market hasn’t forgotten about the ol’ Bel Air.

The Shelby GT350R is one of the rarest and most valuable Shelby Mustangs on the planet, valued on average around $1 million. Just 36 of these cars were ever built, including two prototypes, and one of them is about to head to auction.
This weekend RM Auctions sold a Ford GT40 with links to Steve McQueen for a record $11 million. That is the most money ever paid for an American car at auction, though amazingly it wasn't the highest priced sale of the event.
