Caroll Shelby is set to receive the Automotive Lifetime Achievement at the 2012 Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance and RM Auctions will be there to celebrate, placing a plethora of collectible Shelby cars under the hammer.
The party will start with a 50th anniversary 1962 Shelby Cobra 289 continuation car, which will be followed by a pair of 1965 Shelby Cobra continuation vehicles, which are an updated version of the original big-block Cobras built between 1965 and 1967.

You’ll also be able to get your hand on never Shelby-touched rides, such as a 2012 Shelby GT-500 Super Snake, which gives you no less than 800 hp, as well as a more docile 2012 Shelby GT-350.

Each car will be built specifically for the event and the proceeds will be offered to the Boys & Girls Club charity and you can expect a personal delivery by the man himself. The auction is scheduled to take place on February 25, 2012, so you have time to build a garage by then.
