I came close to buying one of their GT350SR's a couple years ago through a Unique dealer called Trent Performance. I met the guys at a car show in Amelia Island and I gotta say, I was very impressed with the car they had at the show (GT350), and their suspension (own design) was also impressive. I simply couldn't pull the trigger on the price, which I thought was too high for the car (no matter how impressive it seemed, it was still a re-production), and they weren't willing to negotiate at all. I always thought the "Eleanor cars" were a bit of a streatch for Shelby to try and capitalize on though (and WAAAAY overpriced), and why they are in the Shelby registry is beyond me. It appears CS is facing a lawsuit over the car now by Halicki's wife (from Gone in 60 seconds).
I still have a picture they were handing out of the guys at Unique (Bobby Mikus, Chris Layne, Richard Kearby and Doug Hasty) standing arm-n-arm with Shelby and his side-kick Brent Fenimore (what ever happened to THAT guy?). CS was supposed to have been there to sign autographs (probably those pictures) but cancelled at the last minute due to "health reasons" (which was sad for me because I drug my cars glovebox all the way from Chicago!).
