Now ya talkin'

DEX, Thanks for saying it. I can't wait for a response to these simple questions. If amazes me that anyone would think about giving up a deposit on a possible car that might be delivered whenever, and in what ever shape/quality. Seems I remember some 4 year hold ups with the first complete car that Shelby built, his Series 1. Seems I remember reading years back that he had found some lost frames and bodies that he was going to complete as continuation cars. Continue what? He NEVER built the.....A C did. That, I believe was disputed by the A C (Brian Aglese?) as they were the only ones to build the Cobras and there were no lost numbers etc. Seems that was a Shelby LIE!, but seems he was able to sell at least one of these to a gentleman in the far east for $500k or so. Seems Shelby just went through some serious financial problems, again. Seems I saw something about his Childrens Heart fund being loaded up front with mega management fees. I might be mistaken, so please don't take any of this as truths.

Just as no one talks about JFK's and MLK's adultry, as they are icons looked up to for what they accomplished, the same must hold true with Mr. Shelby.

Thank you Mr. Shelby for what you did in the racing world, and for giving so many people the pleasure of basking in your glory. Now prove your worth as a businessman and answer the questions and post the pictures to shut everybody up.
