Actually, that tall tale had been debunked several years ago, sorry.

I was going to say that did not sound like the Shelby I know (not really) and love.

I heard that at the Shelby American factory in Vegas. IDK if it’s true or not but it sounds like a solid source.

Sorry, no, it's a fallacy, induced by those who have no clue and are just trying to make the story live on. Just like the "found" CSX3000 chassis's just rusting away behind a barn in Texas that CS "found".

Smart enough to buy a vintage Shelby, but yet still gullible enough to fall for the lie.
