I picked Lil Red  first and G.H. second.  After all, this is a Shelby American related site and these are one of a kind restored and derivable Shelbys.  The Ford built Bullit Mustang is famous for the movie that featured it and the star who did the driving and is now a rusty expensive mess.  If I were on a Mustang Forum and didn't care about Shelby legends, I might have picked the Bullit Mustang. 8)

The Blue Lady.

Consider the Super Snake added.
Just imagine if they'd have gotten the Fuel Injection, IRS and the Paxton all together on a production car.
Still partial to Lil Red
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Well,

Although it was not listed as a choice, I will pick 0100 the very first production GT500 built. I have owned this car for going on 41 years now.  IMHO fastbacks look so much better than coupes.

If I had a choice that included one of the 1966 Shelby convertibles, that would be my choice.  ;Ron

Speaking of that did you see the 1966 Shelby convertible in the Ford v Ferrari movie? Ots in the background of the factory scene. Its a green car. I cant tell if the red convertible next to it is also a Shelby?

Hello,

We paid $8,500.00 for the car on 12/27/79.  At the time, given the car's condition, that price was probably $1,000-$1,500 too much.  But when you consider what the car turned out to be, we obviously came out way ahead on the deal.  Let me add this, I realize the car is an important part of Shelby American history.  However, I do not believe that 0100, or any of these cars are "too valuable" to be driven.  I have tried to respect what 0100 is, but still have fun with it while I have owned it.  When 0100, 0131, and 0139 were together back in January at an airport not too far from Billups Classic Cars, I took the opportunity to stretch 0100's legs a bit.  Jason, his father, and a couple of their employees all saw speeds up to 115 mph while riding in the passenger seat of 0100.  These cars were meant to be driven!

Thanks,
Eric
