OK, no lecture, simple question:
Will Shelby, with Shelby engines, be producing "turn key" cars? Will these cars be marketed in Calif?

Chris was indeed a salesman, I think it is mis-leading to charaterize him as simply as that imply's. But like I said, whatever, that was then this is now.

Curious current engine plant employees wouldn't know of Chris, his background, connections with Ford, etc. Which does seem to be the case! Then I have to wonder, "what else" is missing with this picture?

No blame, no argument, but supposed "facts" are in conflict, with BOTH sources coming from Shelby employees. "Muddy water" at best, and yes, I am implying that the current information is "suspect"!

Some months ago there was a lot of "talk", about the Shelby Engine Facility "shutting down". They were going to "stop assembling motors" due to "legal issues" concerning their position on assembling cars. So what really happened?

If that information at that time was "bunk", what does that do to the credibility of the current information? Shelby is a public company, a BIG player in the replica industry, what happens there affects all of us who own replicas.

I should know better than to ask what's happening at any Shelby facility, it's a loaded question with no easy answer at best!

I wish the new players good luck and good fortune! A "turn key" car from ANY manufacturer could in fact be registered in Hawaii, at the present time. Can't say the same for Calif, (would be my guess).
