Still feeling fine, but that doesn't mean anything.  Contemplating the sale of my Shelby and invest the money in a year's supply of organic popcorn and Cheetos puffs.  Also, due to toilet paper shortages, I bought three boxes of Kleenex and according to my calculations of 120 tissues per box, if I use one per day, I will be good for roughly one year.  I'm all set.  All seriousness though, courts are closing up here in Chicagoland and roads are becoming vacant.  I fear a collapsed economy in the aftermath more than the virus itself.  But I do maintain a healthy fear of the virus.  I'm 56.  The Cerveza Bug would like to kill me at this age.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

The Going Thing

Well, any of you that served in the military remember the three "tissue paper" sheets that came in each C ration or MRE.  Most of us carried them in the elastic band on our helmet. They were coveted in the field, being they were often stolen. Free advice. Make sure your hands are dry so you don't compromise the paper during use. If you happen to run out avoid poison IVY. That is all!

Rare Shelbys like the one and only 1967, convertibles,  the first GT500, Lil Red, the Green Hornet,  experimentals. the one and only Super Snake.

Like I said you can count them on your fingers and toes.

Unfortunately we humans we are vane, I have the only green Shelby with a plaid interior, rug delete, with a am radio and no console. Not 1 of 2,000 - not 1 of 1, 000 - not 1 of 500, these are truly 1 of 1  that's it no more, the end 1 of 1

These are the ones that are worth the Benjamins.

Everyone else has nice cars.

Model T's are selling today for roughly 20 times their original price, give or take. Earlier models in pristine condition command more, drivers a bit less. And there were over 15 million of them made. Shelby's were far less plentiful and some of them won't command 20 times their original price tag. Everything is relative.

SHOW ME THE MONEY !

Here's what makes this 1967 Shelby Mustang #0139 so special and "The Rarest Shelby Mustang":

• It was the first Mustang Convertible to receive the 428 cu.in., V-8 dual-quad engine with air conditioning from the factory.

• It was the third Mustang (all body styles) to receive the 428 engine.

• It was the first Ford to be equipped with the upgraded "PCG-R" C-6 Automatic Transmission #000001.

• The only 1967, and the only GT 500 convertible to be ordered, serialized, and built by Shelby American. 

• One of two 1967 models to be upgraded with 1968 styled fiberglass.

• It Is the most photographed and publicized Shelby GT Mustang car ever built.

• It is a 1 of 1 fully documented and very valuable 1967 Shelby GT 500 convertible.

Being most photographed only as a 68 GT500 convertible given its prototype status hopefully someday pictures will surface of the car in 67 Shelby trim to support the way it is restored now . Ether way it is a beautiful car.

to keep this in perspective...... so far less that 100 people, in the USA,  have died from this new strain of corona virus.  In 2017 the CDC reported that there were over 80,000 deaths related to the flu virus in the USA.       Be smart.....avoid large crowds.... and wash your hands frequently.  We struggle to understand viruses and unlike bacteria which can be combated with antibiotics  viruses can be much more difficult to treat.  The sample size we have at this point is too small to be statistically significant but we need to be smart to keep this from becoming an epidemic like it is in Italy.  If you start to feel something coming on STAY HOME and contact your local CDC for instructions.  The goal is to minimize the spread of the virus.  Those that are at the greatest risk are infants, elderly, and immunocompromised people.  You don't have to quarantine yourself but don't be stupid either.

Just reflecting on some of the comments on the 1 and only some say to bad we don't have old pictures of it as a 1967. The title say 1967 and Ford sent it to SA in 66.

But you know I also have never seen God or a picture of him,  but I still know he is out there and exist.
