That is crazy. Sign of the times. Me I would go for a 2012, 2013 or 2014 Boss 302S or R car and bank the rest of the money.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

For  that kind of money I would rather purchase a "good"car.... ;)

98SVT - was 06GT

Even the headline is fake - "Should read Shelby LICENSEE Will Sell You a Story for $385,000"
That thing never made it past the idea stage. I've never even seen a sketch. Now it's merely another company throwing money at Shelby Licensing to scam CS fans out of some $$. That 249 were built and unfinished is BS. The 249 were finished and sold as fully certified DOT legal cars - By the company that first bought the project. When they went bust CS bought it back for pennies on the dollar and sold the remaining stock as kit cars. He even used some to pay off peoples contracts when the cash register was low. Now a new place will try to sell them. I wonder if they are scouring the junkyards for all the GM parts that were used.
