The description says that this car came originally with over the top stripes........

Not only that, but the car "needs restored."

That irks me more than 'cash money', lol!

For sure that one is another classic!

Beautiful car. Would be nice to reunite the owners manual with the car.

Thnx Ron

Pretty sure I saw this car years ago . That's a cool piece.

Does anybody know how much of the paint is original on this car? I'm not 100% sure from reading the description that the paint is original factory applied paint. Presumably it is. What I'm doing here, is just asking the question for all of our enlightenment

Reasonable price for a nice car, I love Ivy green.

RIP

Sold

Who is sold you the piece in question?

At least be sure to get one that says "Shelby American" with a "n" on the end, not "Shelby America".

I saw the car in question about 10 -12 years ago at one of the SAAC shows. It was all dressed up as a Shelby and painted blue. The owner was handing out flyers.

Biggie...especially if someone put a SB Ford in the Miata.  Those are a helluva lot of fun!

Wurd!

The vice president of that new track is quoted in the article as saying, a Ferrari would never go out with an open wheeled car, Nor would , a Corvette, ever be out with a Miata.

..................
I would say that every track I've ever been to there is an open wheeled race car out there, which is at least as fast as the Ferrari that is out there. And I would say that every time there is a very quick Miata out there, there is certainly a Corvette. And to put things in perspective, I'm sure the open wheeled comment is " speaking to"  performance not safety.
But even if it is speaking to safety, I can say that every single time I've ever driven Watkins Glen, which is perhaps the cream of the crop in the United States, there are open wheeled race, cars out there with every other variety of car, and speeds which reach 170 mph plus on the back straight. And we have been out there with the Aston Martin team practicing amongst us. And the open wheel race cars are very careful and we are very careful of any open wheeled car.
And I don't like MiataS either, but don't ever assume they're slow if one is driving a Corvette.
