Was the drive train included?  I didn't see any pics.  Since you mention that "mechanical restoration soon" I'm assuming it did.

He’s growing up. Found his own Shelby. Worked it for 6 years and got it home finally. Now his own account on SAAC Forum! He was just a fifth grader at my side when we started this Forum! Time for him to step his involvement with SAAC as well!
