I own a 67 GT350 and would not hesitate for a second on purchasing an original GLHS Shelby. These cars are definitely the forgotten step-child of Mr. Shelby. My advice to you is to enjoy the heck out of them now, and who knows what will happen to them in the future. They may get the proper recognition sometime in the future. Who knows???? Take care - David

I agree with you fully that my GLHS or any of the other Shelby Dodges may never have the fan base the Cobras and Shelby Mustangs have. I'm realistic about that fact. I mean after all, it wasn't the original idea the Cobra / Shelby Mustangs were that Carroll made back then in the hay days of American cars.
Even if I was wealthy enough to have as many cars as I wanted, I'd still own this / a GLHS Omni. I get plenty of smiles per gallon outta of the S car, I see no plans of selling it anytime soon.
Thanks for the word of encouragement, David. Sometimes I need to hear that from someone outside of the Shelby Dodge community.
