I will admit that I am not a fan of Carroll Shelby, used to be, but that has long past.

That said, I continue to read, here and other places over the past several years about Shelby saying and promising a rather long list of activities and actions that were to happen "shortly", then they don't, and then seemly to later make statements about "the delays" were due to need to keep upquality, etc.

Yet, nothing seems to actually come from all these statements, promises or claimed actions, just more reasons why they haven't happened or why he had to make a complete change of direction, move, get new partner, etc.

He recently went dramatically dropped prices, I believe to entice people to stay with him and order more. He has changed business names, how many times in the past few of years? Gotten new partnerships, then abandoned them, or got sued???

Now, I believe the above are a reasonable statement of facts.

This is absolutely amazing. Anyone else would have been laughed off the planet, been sued out of existance and certainly lost every potential customer possible. But not Shelby, why? It doesn't appear anyone can trust that what he says will actually happen.

I hope for the sake of everyone who has a car on order from Shelby, that something happens soon for the positive for them, but it don't look good.

My 2 cents on the matter.
