I quoted Dave Friedman from the article on the $1500.
The original full quote from the book page 34 was, "Total cost of the car to Shelby American was 778/2/3 Pounds, roughly equal to $1500US"
Since the book was endorsed by Mr Shelby himself and Dave F. was the
PR/Photoghper during this period I figured they would know better than I.
On page 86 of the same book, invoice no. 04233, CSX 2393 with engine #5214. silver/red and group "A" accessories with
antifreeze ($3.55) was quote, " With $1,000 deposit, the total cost of the car was $4,474.05. Invoice was dated August 18, 1964. Tom Warth Collection."
The book is available from Branda.
