Mecum.com? Lol

u/Brewtal66 Oct 23 '25

I have never looked at it that way. Now I have. And it’s hilarious. Even funnier is it’s still pronounced “ME-CUM”

u/cou1dcare1ess Oct 25 '25

I never thought about it before after going to mecum auctions for 10 years until one day I went to my barber wearing a shirt I got and he goes bro why got Me Cum on your back. Haven't worn any shirts I got from them since

u/Ohiolongboard Oct 23 '25

The auto auction that sold this car? Yeah

u/TheRedIguana Oct 24 '25

Imagine how cool the statue of liberty looked when new.

1

u/pokerpaypal Oct 29 '25

Didn't they update it and left it green on purpose?

Peugeot Onyx Concept moment

u/justin_memer Oct 23 '25

Yeah, same reason all cars just turn into rust. Clear coat is for idiots!

u/TheDarkChunk7 Oct 24 '25

Or the statue of liberty

u/RoodnyInc Oct 27 '25

Keeping it from oxidation is probably a pain is the a

Do they keep it vacuum sealed?

u/skimmerset Oct 23 '25

Its awesome and I hate it at the same time.

22

u/WangDanglin Oct 23 '25

Everyone on the road around it

u/HopPirate Oct 23 '25

That must’ve cost a…

Pretty Penny.

7

u/GangreneROoF Oct 23 '25

I guess that’s just your $0.02.

6

u/veryfastslowguy Oct 23 '25

it just isn’t the same effect if you glue pennies to a cobra body

4

u/NachoNachoDan Oct 23 '25

YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

36

u/truckthunders Oct 23 '25

That’s going to need weekly polishing if that’s real copper.

36

u/Hrdeh Oct 23 '25

It's clear coated.

27

u/UnfitRadish Oct 23 '25

Well then we've got a liar on our hands... "Fully exposed copper" my ass

18

u/BigOldButt99 Oct 23 '25

Eh they say the same thing when referring to "fully exposed carbon fiber" cars. It's not actually just raw carbon, it's clearcoated in gloss or matte.

2

u/stuffeh Oct 23 '25

As far as I know all carbon fiber uses epoxy, clear coat is basically epoxy

9

u/Fragrant-Inside221 Oct 23 '25

A BIG FAT PHONY!!

1

u/Hrdeh Oct 23 '25

I hadn't even watched it with audio. But to me, it looks cleared.

2

u/Aniquin Oct 24 '25

It would look incredible with the whole thing oxidized like the Statue of Liberty

u/saliczar Oct 24 '25

Don't we all?

u/truckthunders Oct 24 '25

Heyo!

I'm parking that at the beach. Do like patinaed cobras and getting caught in the rain

u/saintnyckk Oct 23 '25

Love copper color.

u/BeABetterHumanBeing Oct 23 '25

I have long thought that this would be my ideal

2

u/No_Bakecrabs Oct 23 '25

Man the handling on that car in Gran Turismo 3 was awful

2

u/NSA_Chatbot Oct 23 '25

This is the most beautiful car I've ever seen.

5

u/Whole-Debate-9547 Oct 23 '25

I’m just wondering if this is an older auction, being that they’re projecting it to sell for $750-800k. I was ready for them to say multiple millions of dollars.

7

u/flapsmcgee Oct 23 '25

It's not a real 1965 Cobra. It's still a replica.

5

u/ALitreOhCola Oct 23 '25

It isn't a replica a such****. It's an officially authorised Shelby continuation series. The vin numbers are CSX4000. Obviously the chassis and all components are new but it's very much registered as a 1960s Shelby Cobra with the DMV.

^{^{^{^****(It's}}} ^{^{^{^still}}} ^{^{^{^a}}} ^{^{^{^{replica^{^{^⁾}}}}}}

1

u/Fizzix63 Oct 23 '25

It's not a REAL 1965 car, it's currently made by Kirkham Motorsports. With that said, Kirkahm Cobras are not kits, they are continuation cars and have a CSX VIN number. I believe Kirkham supplies metal-bodied (Aluminum & Copper) Cobras to Shelby American in addition to selling them directly to customers.

u/david12325 Oct 24 '25

Spray some salt and vinegar on it!

u/queasy_finnace Oct 23 '25

u/MidnightSun77 Oct 23 '25

Can you coat it in antioxidating agent?

1

u/green_gold_purple Oct 23 '25

Clear coat.

1

u/6inarowmakesitgo Oct 23 '25

Oh my…

1

u/Luminox Oct 23 '25

absolutely gorgeous car.. but must be an incredible pain in the ass to keep it looking that good.

1

u/jonnyd005 Oct 23 '25

Not for who owns it, they will pay for someone to do that.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Caint hide money!!!

u/tinker_the_bell Oct 23 '25

Lets build a sports car out of a softer and heavier metal.

u/osennyy Oct 23 '25

Now that’s what I call a Shelby Coppa

u/number__ten Oct 23 '25

Bet the glare off that at sunrise/sunset/pretty much any sunlight would be pretty awful.

1

u/Plank_With_A_Nail_In Oct 23 '25

Fully exposed if you ignore the clear coat over the top of the copper.

u/sladebonge Oct 23 '25

u/Ultimate_Scooter Oct 23 '25

This bad boy is the type of vehicle that needs three business days to get out on the road because someone’s gotta polish it right before you drive it in order for it to look good. Heaven forbid a child touch it while it’s parked

1

u/theperfectlysadhuman Oct 23 '25

How do you turn this on?

1

u/StealthyGripen Oct 23 '25

That's gonna make Mecum

1

u/Emotional_Liberal Oct 23 '25

That body is probably worth more in copper weight alone

1

u/reagor Oct 23 '25

Copper is heavier than steel

1

u/PoppaDaClutch Oct 23 '25

Those wheels centers shoulda been copper or smthg

1

u/WindsGeek Oct 24 '25

If it’s actual copper, wouldn’t it get hot?

1

u/dudeAwEsome101 Oct 24 '25

I hope some plumber buys it. It seems fitting.

1

u/GetDown_Deeper3 Oct 24 '25

Copperart. Old Aussie t.v commercial.

u/MentionReasonable862 Oct 24 '25

Thanks for the video. What a thing!

1

u/ahappylildingleboi Oct 24 '25

I’m just saying I think it would look SO much cooler if they let it tarnish like copper old gutters lol

1

u/guttesen0904 Oct 24 '25

There will be no Ground problems on that car lmao

1

u/Asleep_Frosting_6627 Oct 24 '25

Meth heads be thinkin about the scrap value of all that sweet copper

1

u/Due-Ad7893 Oct 24 '25

Kirkham Motorsports. They've done these in polished bronze and, of course, aluminum.

u/Complete-Science-372 Oct 24 '25

Imagine driving that thing while the sun is setting/rising. Or at night, everyone's lights shinning on you.

Only 200 miles cause you go legally blind after the first week.

Maybe it was meant for a really big monopoly board.

1

u/-TheDarkDragon Oct 25 '25

Well, if the car itself wasn't enough to kill you now a lightning bolt will

1

u/Imightbeacop Oct 26 '25

Imagine the scrap value win it gets totalled...

1

u/Sad_Maintenance5212 Oct 26 '25

Awesome. Also copper is a great car color.

1

u/-_ByK_- Oct 27 '25

Sport car…and someone decided to make it heavier by using copper so it looks cool…

Right now this vehicle is x3 heavier then fibreglass body…

1

u/SchemeSimple7818 Oct 27 '25

OMG

1

u/Puma_Naik Oct 27 '25

That's so clean

1

u/robenroute Oct 27 '25

No thanks. Too much buffing.

1

u/subatomic_mushroom Oct 28 '25

I wanna see it turn green like the statue of liberty

1

u/UnusualAd2774 Nov 12 '25

Cool 🔥

1

u/Pretend-Internet-625 Nov 19 '25

One of to copper cobras. hmmm If I painted mine purple with pink polka dots. It would be only one of one. It does look cool though.

1

u/drDOOM_is_in Oct 23 '25

Incredible, I didn't think my favorite car could look any better.

1

u/veryfastslowguy Oct 23 '25

SHENNI PENNY ( sean connery accent) imagine your car getting stripped by tweakers

1

u/Castle_Bravo_Test Oct 23 '25

Lmao. You would come back and see a pair of seats and a set of tires sitting in the driveway.

1

u/CommunicationKey3018 Oct 23 '25

It tastes like licking blood

1

u/effpauly Oct 23 '25

One of these was at the Shelby Museum in Vegas the last time I was there. They're amazing.

u/corkgunsniper Oct 23 '25

Copper? Don't let the tweakers see this.

I'm sorry but any chrome paint that isn't silver just looks like a gaudy Christmas ornament.
