Wayne Davis collection Mecum Dallas

I saw the Dallas Mecum auction had multiple Shelby's. Curious opinions on the condition and level of accuracy based on the listings. Not sure who does his restorations, but quite an impressive collection at a glance. Most are form the Wayne Davis collection. Thanks in advance

Looking at the two 1968 convertibles they are nice, but I wouldn't call either national show quality. Just my opinion.

Looking at the 67's shows some restoration variations, so likely not restored by the same person.
These might just be a collection of acquired, already finished cars.

+1 . I see many minor detail mistakes that a different on each car which indicates a different hand in restoring.

A '69 Shelby convertible wearing Gulfstream Aqua with the white top and white interior has always been a personal favorite. Thanks for posting about the auction.
