Dave i agree 100%...however, sometimes people want to write themselves into the Shelby story. How many times have I met people and the only story they can tell me about their car is that they paid the previous owner/dealer for the car and it looks today, just like it did when they bought it. Then there is the other story, the one i like...about the guy who finds his shelby sitting in a barn/garage. It hadn't run in 10 to 20 years and it needed help. And here it is today looking great and nothing could replace the feeling of seeing that sad car return to its prior glory. Sure hunting the parts and dealing with flakey painters was a pain in the ass...and when the guy said 2 weeks he meant 4 months. And everytime he got a question from a friend about how his Shelby was doing the guy got bored listening to him talk about red oxide primer or how awesome a 427 SO is compared to 428 PI. These stories Dave, are what made me want to sell my big block Camaro and Judge and replace them with a 68 GT 500 "project" and a 67 GT 500 with a 427 SO 4 speed.
Shelbys are more than just a car...they are an experience, an identity and have a mystique surounding them that makes men, woman and children ask the same question when i pull in to get gas...."Is it real?"...and they get the coolest answer..."Sure is..."

Thanks...
