I am a big fan of Shelby and company, but I was recently at the Las Vegas plant and took a tour as I did 18 months ago. I have to tell you that the place looks like a ghost town without the tumble-weeds. They had maybe 6 cobras in various states of build and nothiing of any significance on the showroom. I did get to see the AC aluminum body mentioned above....looks good. I happened by Finishline Motorsports just a few warehouses away from Shelby American. I was greeted by Roy and he took me through his operation where he builds race-bred Shelbys. He has much more going on in his shop than Shelby does.... just not sure what to make of what I saw.....I hope they are doing OK? I heard that the Expedition at SEMA will not run and the windows will be tinted out because the interior is not done......just a rumor though.
