Multiple vehicles in Las Vegas tied for coveted seats among the top sales list including the auction’s top two highest-hammering sellers: Shelby No. 00812, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback and a 2006 Ford GT. The Shelby, boasting a matching-numbers dual-quad 428 Police Interceptor engine, and the 9,581-mile GT both demanded healthy, six-figure sales, coming in at $253,000 each.
