This isn't going to be an epidemic any more than H1N1. They are a virus. We need to cut the doom and gloom. The panic has done enough damage and we're not anywhere near the losses we see from whatever strain of flu we contend with every year. Those who aren't healthy and have underling issues should use caution, period. If what we were told via the APA this week they can combat it well for those at risk for complications if caught early and are very close to a vaccine. Let's stay positive and just use a little common sense.

I also thought that the closing paragraph was pretty good:
So, if you can afford to hold on to your classic, there's no reason to sell right now. If you take a long view, it might also be a time to buy. As always, we think the important thing is to buy what you like and drive it often. Given the times, we'll add that it's even more important to stay safe. Please follow the CDC guidelines so that we can avoid COVID-19 quarantines and infections and get back to driving.

And the mainstream media does have common sense? It's total hysteria on every network.
Here's the deal: I jumped out of the aircraft for the first eight years of my adult life for a living. If it's your time, you can't change it. After the crap I have endured I shouldn't be breathing, yet here I am. I don't give myself credit. That is due my Maker.
As for common sense, It's like deodorant. The people that need it most never use it!
Most all of my family are in the medical field, it is very real... with no hysteria. If you feel this a hoax like our fearless leader has stated, carry on as usual.
Keep going, I dont think anyone has been banned under two different user names.

. Yep.
The seller of the Bullitt Mustang is probably breathing a sigh of relief that the car went to auction when it did.
The buyer, maybe not so much.
For a car like that, IMO there could be a $1 million or so drop in auction price because of all this....had they all waited until now.
I'm sure the buyer of the bullit car has enough money to not care. He probably didn't buy it to sell.

Always had a similar belief during my work life but the change takes place when you start thinking beyond your life and in this case, what you bring home to your loved ones/family. More that responsible for my life and choices, shot at, blown up, exposed to who knows what ....... BUT when it comes to bringing it home that's a whole different thing IMHO

Watched about 4 hrs+ of TV today that included both national and local news as well as press conferences of both Federal representatives and State (Calif) and saw no hysteria from the media only reporting and asking of decent and surely anticipated questions. Not always what I see just saying today was a different experience . Glad all sides (hate to think that are "sides" in a situation like this) appear to be focusing and moving forward.
Sure that when this is behind us each of us will be able to look backwards and see that we were very wrong on some things and possibly right on others. Lots of stress out there let's not spread it :)

Seriously? The virus story is the only news they cover. Updated death counts and infection rates every 30 minutes.
I guess you are right. People just ran out and cleaned out stores of toilet paper and other sundry items without any provocation.
The hagerty article is one of the most worst I ever read about this theme. A guy who is writting and reading the whole day and try to analyze something is never good like somebody who lives in the real world.
I thought my secret screen name was the best. It was 4Q, and if you investigated the profile, he was from the Uppa US? 8)
I loved it because it was aimed at Ct.Dave and he thought it was Kopec, because that's the kind of thing Rick would do.
At one time, Rick's secret profile was St.Irdapot.
What a bunch of trouble makers, right? ;)

I think the media finally stepped in it a little much, the media and and others, (figure it out) has done its best to make one guy look bad, and they went too far, because all the wealthy politicians and evil corporation media cost US almost everything, I hope they are happy....
Your statement alone, "If you feel this a hoax like our fearless leader has stated, carry on as usual.", shows how one sided people are. He never said it meaning that, but if you like cnn abc nbc and the rest, than that is what you heard, or was it what you wanted to hear so you can spread your hate for "One guy"?
Were you just as mad during the SARS gig? I bet not, were you as mad when Benghazi happened, I bet not.
I live in NY, I know first hand how stupid it can get. BTW I am in the "Medical Field". The medical field is not always right, look at Diabetes and how they tell you to eat, totally WRONG!

YEP, I agree there ::)
Everyone is worried about this "NEW" issue, just go out and drive your cars. Enjoy them for what they are and meant to be used as. If it isn't this, its another distraction, but you have to realize just like the Model T market, it's just a matter of time before they all tank. The only exception will be the one off Shelby and those you can count on your hands.

"If" by Rudyard Kipling. The first line is my favorite.
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

Please lets stay on topic...Shelby prices dropping like a rock
The night is black, without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
Oh...Oh...
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theatres and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

Quick to anger
Slow to understand

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.
Model Ts price in 1908 was right around $300
More
300 x 20 = $6,000
Less
300 x 10 = $3,000
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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
AMEN

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.

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.
Show me the money !
Finito

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.

Details...details.. eleanor ignores the details that don't fit his narrative ;)
cut/paste repeat...cut/paste repeat
Hoser lineage...
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.

I think that article is a combination of "blank page filler" and stir the pot? There is hardly anyone that can corner the market.
Just like with stocks, if you are offered a deal and you have the cash, probably you should take it.
Values will not stay down forever and likely will rebound higher then before.

I agree, and eleanor is just fanning the flames. What the hell does he know about Shelby values?
Anybody here going to ask eleanors advice if they are buying a Shelby? HELL NO! A car inspection by tony simon = WORTHLESS
Did anyone notice that none of the member that buy and sell these car even bothered to respond to this thread?
