The owners were both left to fix them themselves. The one with the fuel tank screw up found out when he ran the tank dry and was only able to put 15 gallons back in.
Turned me off to them!

I have seen the newer ones built in SA next to one of the older ones. The SA built car was far superior in build quality. One of the places that has done some work on my car was a Shelby dealer when they were being built in Mexico, and they said they had to rebuild some of the cars because the poor condition they were recieved in. |
