First, they've already been bought out once. A company purchased 75% of Shelby in the late 90's I think. And then the new entity took the company public.
Second, there's nothing wrong with letting a few VP's go. VP's are notoriously useless good-for-nothing's. Seriously, letting go of some personnel isn't always a sign of bad times. Maybe the limited editions aren't selling so well. There seems to be a decent demand for those 2016 Shelby GT350R's.
Lastly, there will always be someone who'll be interested in buying the assets. Maybe someone like Denbeste or Drew Serb or even Kirkham. If not, those folks that own those Shelby replicas should start calling their insurance brokers and increasing the value of those auto policies.
