THIS IS NOT A "KIT" CAR....THIS IS A TRUE CONTINUATION CAR SIGNED BY CARROLL SHELBY. I HAVE A FRAMED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WITH POCKET CARD THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE."

Do you believe that the owner has truly fallen for the hype of a manufacturer, or do you think he drank too much of the manufacturers Kool Aid

I think does anyone really give a rat's ass? Are you posting this nonsense because you are bored?

Well, thank you for your opinion, way off mind you at your guess, but it's your opinion, so you are freely allowed to post it here.

PS: Is the ad I quoted, "your car" , or did you just want to come in and attempt to pick a fight this morning because you were the one who was bored?

I'll expand,


Outrageous comments such as the seller makes (his car produced long before the license agreement between SPF/Shelby in this case) require some type of response, as such, I made this post. Kind of like those who have a donor Mustang motor in their cars, add an intake, and larger throttle body and make claims of "estimated 500hp and the rear wheels" as if it adds credability to the car in search of a sucker to bite on the worm he dangled in front of them.

As for a rats ass, let me be the first to say, you'll never have to worry about ever being accused of having one , or being one . Yes, really

This ad seems less outrageous to me than a lot I have seen, and a lot that have been discussed here on the site. I guess the snake oil goes with the cars. Lets call it a homage (continuation?!?) to the original slippery snake salesman--and his potent snake oil sales abilities--that helped so much is getting the cars into (and thru) production in the first place!

People make outrageous and incorrect statements all the time in ads. Its incumbent upon you to do the research. If You do the research as the advertiser has invited you do you will quickly learn the car for sale is not a "continuation" but merely a super formance built under license by Shelby American in that much of the ad is a bunch of hyperbole

Well,it is well within the limits of " internet embellishment" no question. Lets remember, there are kits and components out there that arguably , also, push the limit of what might arguably be considered a " cobra" . That said, is there some new internet sales description police entity recently that's come to power I should be made aware of?
