Unfortunately it seems as if the secret is now out.The reason why this car was kept under wraps was when I initially approached Amy and Gary (Shelby America) in 2008 at Sema to produce the 289 and pay them royalties, they obviously needed something physical to approve. All sorts of research then took place, hence quite a few knowledgeable people sworn to secrecy This was done, so out of respect to Gary and Amy, they would be the first to inspect it and then on to Walter Mitty for general announcement. The global Economic picture also helped in slowing this more than somewhat. The little you are seeing are all protoype pics and are all that will be publicly posted until Amy and the two Gary`s have had a chance to check it over and hopefully approve csx status as well.Thanks to all for your generously given knowledge and for retaining your sworn secrecy which I ask you to retain until Shelby has inspected it.I`m positive you will be more than impressed with the finished article.
Regards,
Ross Henry
