Brent, actually i think the "turn-key" replicas are about gone away, due to the federal rules about who becomes the "manufacturer" of the car. It has been explained to me by the Olthoffs, that whoever installs the motor is technically the "manufacturer", and to avoid some of the obscure but relevant Federal rules that apply to "manufacturers", the Olthoff's have for some time put their cars in their trailor, taken them 70 miles away, and had the engines installed by someone not affiliated with their SPF distributorship.

So my guess is Shelby would have to make the same arrangements to sell a "turn-key" car. Hence the Shelby rollers??

Adds to the cost and the time.
