Dave:
I liked your post about shelby project cars. You know a bit about my Shelby I purchased. So you know what she needs. Your right about the cost to redo a car from ground up. My Shelby has 37,000 miles but it has been sitting for 20+ years. Fortunate for me I was a mechanic for 15 years and I do body work. So this project wont cost me as much to do compared to jobbing it out. Im working hard to get her to her yester years of glory. I sweat i bleed and i do lots of homework trying to reach my goal of making this car road ready. I truly look forward to the days of cruising her and takin the kids to a car show.
Yes Shelby are expensive , even project Shelbys are up there, like you said sometimes it might be your lucky day and one will fall in your lap while sipping a beer. In my case I think I was sipping an ice tea. Its Florida and its frekin hot here!
So to all who want a Shelby I say go for it! Buy a complete Shely, buy a project Shelby or buy a scale model, lifes short enjoy it while you can!!
