I am guilty of a color change on my first Shelby, (Lime Gold), I changed it to Alcapco Blue. Today, I just would not buy a car unless it was a color on my list. Today I have a Moss Green car and it has a nice sporty look, although not my color oc choice. I guess what I dont care for with this car is it is a auto with air, Looking back I would rather neither of those options.
I did have a factory Nightmist Blue Shelby that I was thinking of buying back a few years ago, but the owner would not return any calls or emails from me, being that I know the car well, I wanted to know a few things before I bid on it, so I passed. That color, along with white, and red, would be my choices.
I know the Shelby police are out there and they can be very nasty, I have heard them talking even at local cars shows, when they do not like something, they let everyone at that show know about it. If you are doing your own thing, like I do, meaning, drive it, look at it, maybe going to a get-together with car people who just don't care or know, I think it is cool. Just enjoy it the way you want it. What is value anyway? Or should the question be, What is being happy to own a car that others cannot or don't care about these days?
My feelings are, be done with that, enjoy it!
