  Too bad they wasted their money painting the engine and the chassis with spray cans.......

Probably very therapeutic at the tine

Looks like time to stock-up on vintage Shelby cars.  The world will come back to its senses at some point. 

If it doesn't, we're all screwed anyway.  May as well go out with a lengthy burnout and run through the gears.

Love that attitude

Personally, I am glad they are coming down, its a hobby! I know mine is worth less, but I kind of like that, and when I drive it, I smile! My Shelby is worth less, my Boss is worth less, my Thunderbirds are worth less, even my Ford GT is worth less.....I still like to see them, feel them, and drive them. I would like to buy more and maybe I will, and if they go down, that will be fine, because I like my hobby!

Key here is what you keep mentioning "worth less " and I agree concentrate on the really important things friends , family and enjoying what little time we have on earth

i saw a 67-500 at a auction last year that I would had a hard time paying 60k for because it was a rebody. Every time some of you guys see a car or two that don't ring the bell you think the worlds coming to an end. Not all cars are worth the maximum price.


Agreed, like I mentioned previously;

You can count on your hands the truly historical and valuable  shelby vehicles that belong on a pedestal or in a museum

Everything else will go the way of the Model T.....

nothing wrong with rattle cans if you know what you are doing. And, yes, the paint does hold up for years. Good prep. good application. Gary

Good point and great observation Mr Gary. Fantastic and affordable application process for those of us common folks.
