I am certainly not a Shelby Expert

Actually the article was a refreshing reminder that the Pantera's design (sans wing) remains fresh 50 plus years later.

So the author said 200K PLUS to buy one(80s). Hagerty says a 1972 is 117K #1 condition. 1986 GT 148K  #1 concours... vast majority are not. No wonder people are skeptical of reporters/authors.....

Agreed, a timeless classic from day one
