Pete this is my 20th post so it should make me a jr member. Now that it appears my balls have been acknowledged , I will continue to be heard. "begin rant now"
Part of the value ( read ideals) IMHO of this site is what has become known as the Shelby Police. We joke about it often but are accused bf being it MORE often. We have helped save MANY people from being ripped off by FAKE ads for cars NOT FOR SALE , repop parts sold as NOS , incorrect item descriptions , applications , and MANY other things. Those who benefited from OUR expertise are VERY grateful in almost every case. Let's face it EVERY Mustang with ANY spec of a part that was ever on a Shelby American or Shelby Automotive produced IS a SHELBY in the eyes of those who proclaim it. Door handles , Hard top deck lids , cigarette lighters , ALL Shelby parts!!! The ads don't lie. Right.
I looked at a recent locked post which showed three metal tags. As a card carrying member of the Shelby police I would have called one of them a reproduction JUST like I would ANY other tag that didn't match an original. I don't care WHO the selling party is/was. WRONG is still wrong.
If this rant gets me a "time out" on this forum so be it , I will NOT lessen the passion I have had for these cars since 1965.
Respectfully,
RANDY GILLIS
