I suspect the reason they may not want a manual written is that it would provide competition to the Shelby dealer network. Up to this point the dealers have somewhat of a lock on finishing these cars. When I first got my roller, I talked to one of the dealers about some guidance on finishing the car/sourcing parts. I was told he would sell me a manual for $12,000 because that is what he charged to finish a car.

I found other resources and really enjoyed finishing the car myself.
