I have to agree with all the above postings - I used to joke that I owned a model of a Daytona that would be worth a fortune one day as it DID NOT have the C$ signature. My foresight amazes me sometimes......but it's not so funny now. Sad really.

Trevor,

It is sad what has and is happening. Shelby will always be a legend to me but some of the things that have happened the past few years has really detracted from his legacy. I sometimes wonder if he really knows just how bad some of this stuff makes him look. And sadly, the younger generation that wasn't around in the 60s when he was making history and putting American Racing on the world scene will only remember him for all of this bad stuff.

Ron

Trevor,
So is my AC stuff with Luby's sig worth more or less because of it?

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.
