Tomorrow is going to be fun. Bid is already at 250k.

It says $295K on my machine :o

With the color and the manual transmission it's a hard one to beat. Just the combination I would want if funds were unlimited.

Thanks I was wondering if it was you. In any case it's a great looking car, not perfect but then none are.

Great for the seller! Its a beautiful car and best to the buyer....

I do remember a bunch of people that bought KR convertibles at $350k and 69 convertibles at over $300k, for the most part it hasn't worked out well for them.

I’ve learned that not everyone that buys cars buy them to make money. Some people buy them because they want one and can afford it. Plus you never lose money on anything till you sell it. I told my uncle one time your buying all the wrong cars for investing. He said I don’t buy cars to make money I buy cars that I like. I’ve got plenty of damn money and I don’t need to buy cars to make money. Although I was raised you don’t buy anything you can’t make money on as I’ve got older I can appreciate my uncles thinking. Get what you want while you can get it. Like my dad used to say I’ve only got one person to please and that’s my damn self.

If you can afford it and want it really bad then buy it. I spent so much money for my collection and I will never regret it also if I loose money. Some people buy new cars and loose 50% in 2 years on them, that's how it is.

I think you can accomplish both.... if you are patient, and can buy right.

It's nice to be a responsible caretaker, and also get a little reward on the back end for your efforts.

Going to SoCal. 30s buyer who is into high end European sports cars. “ Don’t know much about Shelby’s but I’m learning”. He just wanted a cool Shelby and really liked the color. Going to drive it, not judge it.

I paid more than I should have for my '67 GT500. Thankfully that was in 1982. I paid 50% more than it sold for new! People thought I was nuts!
