Not Ranked
Sharp and accurate punctuation, Bret, but there will be few distributions until he goes to that big "real Shelby" collection in the sky or whatever.
Until then, there are certain expenses that must be met, meetings in Indonesia, speeches in Monte Carlo, shows and meals in Monterey and certain storage, preparation, preservation expenses and any legal fees necessary to protect the assets, reputation and history of the Shelby marque and his personal reputation as the personification of that marque.
Recall that just as Chapman never over-built a car, Shelby never under-promised a result. Therefore, protecting his marque is very expensive as a result. i frankly doubt that it would bother him very much to leave very little except enormously complex legal issues for his 'hairs to settle for the rest of their lives.
Remember, he is a racer. Personal image is everything.
And, he doesn't frequently turn the other cheek.
