I'll bet that Shelby production is sold out but that a portion of them are going to dealer inventory without individuals names attached ("spec cars").

I got an email from DenBeste. So he has at least a few on order.

I also imagine that privacy rules will prevent disclosure except by the individual dealers themselves of exactly what the disposition of the 50 will be.

I knew my question was rhetorical. I know exactly when I'll find out the answers to my questions. When the next edition of the Shelby World Registry is published in 2018.

Just wait for the 50th Anniversary Edition of the 427.

Even if there's only 50 of those, I'm sure they'll be priced up there and 'Sold Out'. Whatever that means nowadays.

Ummm. You're assuming they're all built by then

Uh, it's not a Boeing 787 or whatever. If the money is there, then they should get built in 7 years. You would think.

If I just paid $135K, and I get #50, I have to wait more than 7 years? Talk about a lay-a-way plan.

If they sold 50 in a matter of a few days that would be tremendous. I doubt the combined sales of all replica Cobras even (or ever) approached that volume in the same time period. Wow - 50 cars. Just amazing. Simply unbelievable. Stupendous.

I too would be interested in the breakdown of alum. to glass cars. I wonder how we can find out. I wonder.

I agree, sounds like "all U2 tickets have been sold in 3 days".
To the final client??
