RACING SUCCESS
THE MISSING SIXTH CAR ''CSX2287'' Five Shelby Daytona cars were constructed in Italy, one car, known to collectors as CSX2287, was manufactured in the United States. Ownership of the cars was recorded for five cars, however records for the sixth car was lost in the mid-1970's. For a long time car historians and collectors feared the sixth car was lost. In 2001 the car was discovered in a rental storage unit in California. The owner Donna O'Hara had committed suicide by burning herself alive. The car had remained undiscovered for about three decades. Due to it's estimated worth of $4,000,000 the car was part of an extensive legal battle between her mother who sold the car to a collector in Pennsylvania, and a friend of Ms. O'Hara who was the recipient in her will of the contents of the storage unit. The discovery of this car has been dubbed as the greatest find in the history of car collecting. EXTERNAL LINK |
