Thanks guys. It's funny, I grew up loving all things Shelby and was privileged to become the caretaker of 6S1733 for about 5 years. I had no intentions of selling it, but a client insisted. I suddenly had a pile of money and nowhere to put it when the track put 521 up for sale. The intent was to flip it after cleaning it up for a few months.

It was a better car than I thought...much easier to drive than I expected, holds plenty in the trunk for a trip. 6S1733 was a race car, and this was usable, I fell in love.

It was also worse than I thought...much worse. 2500 track miles is the equivalent of racing at the 24 hours of LeMans, and we know what happens to a car after that event. Everything gets replaced...
