    As they are approaching 50 years old many older Shelby's aren't driven as much as they used to. When they were just transportation they were driven 10,000-20,000 or more miles each year. Now as the price /costs have driven many to be trailered to events the question to everyone is, How many miles are on your 1965 to 66 Shelby. I'm sure there are a few with low miles, but I'm also sure they are some with a lot. Mine had 40,000 on it when I bought it in 1971. Drove it as a daily driver for almost 16 year until the floor fell out for the 2nd time. Now after a restoration it has over 221,000 miles on it. Drove it to a car show in Ocean City, Maryland just last month. It will be at Ford Carlisle this weekend. Would like to hear stories about high mileage cars that were driven "back in the day" . Three trips to California from the east coast , two trips to the Bonneville Speed Trails (spectator only, even though there may be photographic proof of over 100mph blasts on the return road)
    So tell your stories, would love to hear them

    My '66 G.T.350H just turned 95,300 yesterday. I dove it to Charlotte in April and will have it at Carlisle tomorrow and Saturday. See you there.

    My 69 GT350 had 136,000 on it when I restored it in 2001.
