If you had a choice between, Little Red, The Green Hornet or the Bullitt, which one would you take and why?
Myself, I would take Little Red, just because I think it the one that really had "the right stuff"
What's your choice?
Little Red: just look under the hood!
Little red,no doubt. :)
Me too, Lil Red
I'm greedy I'd take Bullitt sell it and buy both Lil Red & Grn Hornet.
Nuff said, Little Red 8)
I will throw a wrench into the works and say I would rather have the Super Snake over all of them.
Well, I'm building a tribute to Lil'Red, so there is that.....
Little Red!

Bullitt, Steve McQueen drove it, famous car chase star, 4-speed, partial to dark green, don't have to worry about driving it, not a big fan of red or coupe vinyl roofs. (I do like the '67/'68 Trans-Am Coupes)
(to another post, not sure Craig Jackson would sell both Li'l Red and the Green Hornet for what the Bullitt sold for)
We should add the Super Snake to this.

L.R.,however S.S. (if it's tossed into the mix).Mind you,any of the above would be adequate for my lowly needs.

Ford did a lot of those they called them California and High Country Specials
I'll say the Green Hornet.
Just to be different.
Wonder what would have happened if they got serious about fuel injection.
And besides, I like the colour.
+1 on the Super Snake

The Blue Lady.
I picked Lil Red first and G.H. second. After all, this is a Shelby American related site and these are one of a kind restored and derivable Shelbys. The Ford built Bullit Mustang is famous for the movie that featured it and the star who did the driving and is now a rusty expensive mess. If I were on a Mustang Forum and didn't care about Shelby legends, I might have picked the Bullit Mustang. 8)
Yeah, ok you're right...................or The Blue Lady.

Consider the Super Snake added.
Just imagine if they'd have gotten the Fuel Injection, IRS and the Paxton all together on a production car.
Still partial to Lil Red
Bullet and leave it just the way it is
Being a 67 type of guy, Little Red followed by the Super Snake..... always my favorites
Well,
Although it was not listed as a choice, I will pick 0100 the very first production GT500 built. I have owned this car for going on 41 years now. IMHO fastbacks look so much better than coupes.

If I had a choice that included one of the 1966 Shelby convertibles, that would be my choice. ;Ron
1) The 1 and only convertible 1967 Shelby convertible # 0139
2) #0100
3) little red
Speaking of that did you see the 1966 Shelby convertible in the Ford v Ferrari movie? Ots in the background of the factory scene. Its a green car. I cant tell if the red convertible next to it is also a Shelby?
I'll take 5R002 ;D
Based on the OP choice of three cars, what is the current total of each selection?

Hello,
We paid $8,500.00 for the car on 12/27/79. At the time, given the car's condition, that price was probably $1,000-$1,500 too much. But when you consider what the car turned out to be, we obviously came out way ahead on the deal. Let me add this, I realize the car is an important part of Shelby American history. However, I do not believe that 0100, or any of these cars are "too valuable" to be driven. I have tried to respect what 0100 is, but still have fun with it while I have owned it. When 0100, 0131, and 0139 were together back in January at an airport not too far from Billups Classic Cars, I took the opportunity to stretch 0100's legs a bit. Jason, his father, and a couple of their employees all saw speeds up to 115 mph while riding in the passenger seat of 0100. These cars were meant to be driven!
Thanks,
Eric

Hello,
Sounds like you have me by a year or two. I graduated high school at age 17 in 1981.
