The best in the business!  Peter Klutt runs his business with the utmost integrity!  They have restored two 67 GT500 for me and I have sold a few cars to them.  Chris Simon does a great job running the restoration side of the business.  He is awesome to work with and knows his stuff!  If you are planning on buying a car from them they are straight shooters!!

Thanks, I have a couple of cars that I am thinking of selling and wondered if they are good to work with.

I know a family that sold them three cars and I believe they were very happy in their dealings with them.

They seem to be a very well established business, which certainly has a great collection of vehicles.  Lot's of eye candy.  But like anyone trying to sell you something, Caveat Emptor.  Having a car checked out by one of the well recognized Shelby experts, can pay off in spades.

Yes know EXACTLY what you are selling. 100% original no rust CA car vs one with chinese floor pans. Correct date coded stuff. Original vs repro parts. That way when a guy says that not right and it's going to cost x to put it right you can counter with your experts report. Anybody that is going to buy your car for resale will start at 1/2 value. It's your job to get him to an acceptable price. Consignment isn't always a good thing. He may use your car to generate traffic for some rust bucket pig he's been trying to unload with the this one is $100,000 but I can let you have this one for only $80,000.

They did my car.  I write poems and commission paintings about my car.  Enough said.

You might be thinking of Shelby Legendary Cars which is a different company (affiliated with Shelby Distribution USA and Hillbank Motors).
