Thank you guys.
It is hard to find out info, beings they are in the UK.
yes, we think it will be next to impossible, but:
I guess this kind of reflects to a very recent post about the 67 gt 350 that sold real cheap recently on ebay>> think it was EPAY?.
It bridged itself off into talking about future values and if the younger gens coming up would be buyers for Shelby's or, whatever,
case in point;
Took 5 years, but I stayed on one of the two factory backed comp car, not of ford origin, but kind of.
Rod Millens Mazda Motorsport factory backed Miata.
Only two ever made and were the only ones factory backed.
Ran 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Mossport and many other pro tracks.
Has competed in the Chicago/Geneva Invitational 2 years ago, the Concours was in conjunction with the 70th SCCA Anniversary.
We were humbled, as they gave it center stage, with a Porsche 906 werks car, and a Indy car from Mario.
We submitted, feeling good about the old girl, to the Cincinnati Concours Invitational, and received another Invitation.
To our surprise we took a Blue Ribbon award, and 3rd in werks cars, 1st place was a Aston Martin race car.
there were legit Cobra's and other high dollar pieces we competed against.
We are in the process of using our provenance now for submission to the Amelia Invitational.
BUT, my long term friend, Cooper, which I have been selling a bunch of his hipo/shelby parts on here for about 4 years now>>> said lets go for the gusto.
Who knows, " maybe our luck will end" but, "maybe not."
One thing a person needs to understand>> that this all relates too what the next generations will want to see on the field and probably want to buy;
We call it Mazda's two seeds and a Gamble, as these two cars are the first that raced on these shores
&
as everybody that races probably knows there are now more Miata's racing on tracks on any given day, than any other make & model, Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari Mercedes etc.
Better yet;
they were placed in the Genesis book of worlds records for the most sold two seat roadster in the History of automobiles, 1878-2019 and into the future.
Kind of a Cobra Coupe in a way.
So after roughly 40 or so early Shelby's I have had, we shifted gears.
With basics said;
We have hopes that it may be enough to get an Invitation to Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Cooper has the bucks to fly it over>> and have the time of his life >>>
All I can do is keep promotion up and submit for more Invitationals.
Long story shortened, I do think 65-70 Shelby's will hang tight for years to come, and future Gens / buyers , even though there will be lessor numbers, will buy them.
We shall see.
Ahhh, that crystal ball.
Respectfully submitted,
John
