Why Rodknock---are you having a 'Patrick' moment??
Four posts on this juvenile tripe???
I thought you were a solid cool citizen after a 540 mid-year Vette.
It's apparent you haven't seen one of these restomod Shelby cash-grabbers up close.
I know a guy with too much dough, a vast but trashy car collection and poor taste who bought one at premium, brand new.
The Shelby-blocked motor came complete with leaks and an A/F ratio lower than the owners IQ. The charcoal metallic was probably applied in Chernobyl but everywhere you looked, there were Shelby logos and plaques.
It took a very talented Cobra assembler to sort the motor to make it driveable...
Nobody was impressed.
