I just wanted to point out that my comments concerning Shelbys endorsement of SPF could/can/will be taken different ways by different people.
Through all this 'real', 'replica', 'completition', 'continuation' mess I've concluded this: Be PROUD of YOUR ride. Display your manufacturers 'emblems' with pride, when and where it's applicable. SPF is a fine product in it's own right, they didn't need to 'buy' credibility, they have earned it. They didn't need to become a Shelby 'groupie', which in some ways is down right embarrasing. I like my ERA, but then again, I like my Excalibur just as much in different ways. Celebrate what you got and run what you brung, make it YOUR car YOUR way. |

Trevor, So is my AC stuff with Luby's sig worth more or less because of it?:confused: And like a fool I CASHED the check he signed to me for the 427 engine I bought for him..................(but it did clear the bank!!!!) I won't even mention the AC MK IV warranty book C.S. signrd for my wife......and when he realized what it was, he went apesh!t and left the autograph line! |
I also liked the article with C.S. explaining how he stole the KR for the GT500 from Chevrolet. What a nice guy, then and now.

Speaking of Ol' Shell aka Mr. Snake Oil and the honorable Mr. Brock --

There is a similiar thread on Team Shelby about the Hot Rod article, which is totally accepted as 'truth'. One comment was 'how sharp' Shelby is today, I assume that meant because he could recall the specifics so 'accuratly' from the past.
I wanted to post Rick Kopecs rebuttal in that thread SO BAD, ahh, but it probably get me banned if I did. Ricks observation that the 'new generation' of Shelby fans are true believers really strikes home after reading the TS thread. Heres a link to the TS thread (hey, if this link is in bad taste I shall quickly edit and remove it, Ron). http://forum.teamshelby.com/forums/i...howtopic=27291 |

Someone asked me recently if I could get Shelby's autograph on the dash of my FFR. Not likely knowing he tried to shut FFR down once they became successful. I told my friend that I really would not want Shelby within a hundred feet of my car, let alone sitting in it. I'd bet Shelby would say the feeling is mutual. :)
