I found while doing a search on Yahoo! that Shelby American is/has been bought out ( August 03 ). They have been losing millions on the Series 1 and have been trying to delay DOT safety regulations for emplimentation of side/front air bag systems. I don't remember the company that bought them out but they will retain the Shelby name something like Shelby International. Now the company has money which is what they needed. The ShelbyAmerican website has been down until this is legally completed even though the shelbyautos website is still running. The plant has even stopped making tours also.
