They certainly seem to sell a lot of cars and have the Shelby name/endorsement. Best way to find out is to ask current owners I thought. Thanks.
If you can find a reasonably priced SPF 289 FIA roller in a color that appeals to you, go for it. Ross Henry did the initial design work on the car, and his attention to detail is second to none. Where you need to watch, is the installer, some are exceptionally talented, others not so much, and have been known to modify things from the roller that worked perfectly as they were designed and intended, vs the final product from said, not so savvy installer.

PS: If this is a blue, BRG, or silver roller, (essentially not black, or bright red) and you choose to pass on it, please PM me with the information as I am semi-seriously in the market, and for the right car, have cash in hand.
