About a hundred years of car history is going up for auction through Bonham’s soon, with the offering of Carroll Shelby’s personal collection. Perhaps most known for his work on the Shelby Cobra, Mustang, and Ford, Shelby was not just an innovative designer, but also an entrepreneur who enjoyed racing the cars he built. His 24 car collection reflects his careers with both Ford and Dodge, as well as his appreciation for high performance racing. Though the full list has yet to be revealed, among those included are a 1969 Mustang GT500, 2011 Shelby Cobra CSX 8027, Shelby-tuned Dodge Charger, Panteras, Dakotas, as well as a 1935 Chrysler Airflow sedan.

Check out the photos above for a look at some of the cars going up for auction. The event is expected to take place this June at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance in Connecticut.
