Nice Write Up About Shelby

[Excaliber]

I just wanted to point out that my comments concerning Shelbys endorsement of SPF could/can/will be taken different ways by different people.

Through all this 'real', 'replica', 'completition', 'continuation' mess I've concluded this:
Be PROUD of YOUR ride. Display your manufacturers 'emblems' with pride, when and where it's applicable. SPF is a fine product in it's own right, they didn't need to 'buy' credibility, they have earned it. They didn't need to become a Shelby 'groupie', which in some ways is down right embarrasing. I like my ERA, but then again, I like my Excalibur just as much in different ways. Celebrate what you got and run what you brung, make it YOUR car YOUR way.

Trevor,
So is my AC stuff with Luby's sig worth more or less because of it?

And like a fool I CASHED the check he signed to me for the 427 engine I bought for him..................(but it did clear the bank!!!!)

I won't even mention the AC MK IV warranty book C.S. signrd for my wife......and when he realized what it was, he went apesh!t and left the autograph line!

I also liked the article with C.S. explaining how he stole the KR for the GT500 from Chevrolet. What a nice guy, then and now.

There is a similiar thread on Team Shelby about the Hot Rod article, which is totally accepted as 'truth'. One comment was 'how sharp' Shelby is today, I assume that meant because he could recall the specifics so 'accuratly' from the past.

I wanted to post Rick Kopecs rebuttal in that thread SO BAD, ahh, but it probably get me banned if I did. Ricks observation that the 'new generation' of Shelby fans are true believers really strikes home after reading the TS thread.

Heres a link to the TS thread (hey, if this link is in bad taste I shall quickly edit and remove it, Ron).

Someone asked me recently if I could get Shelby's autograph on the dash of my FFR. Not likely knowing he tried to shut FFR down once they became successful. I told my friend that I really would not want Shelby within a hundred feet of my car, let alone sitting in it. I'd bet Shelby would say the feeling is mutual.
