lots of original Shelby parts on ebay

Why would he keep the parts and not restore them and put them back on the car. I guess if the owner of CSX3342 told him to keep them, then that would be his buisness but if I was the owner of an origional Cobra and had it restored of repainted I would not tell them to keep all of the hardware and such.

I believe the car was not being restored for a customer but was owned by the people working on the car and then sold. There were extra parts that were not on the car. I do not know the details but I do know there was some type of disagreement about the extra parts coming with the car during the sale. You would think they should have gone with the car but for some reason they did not. Especially the stamped latches. I could find out the specifics but have not inquired on the details. I only met Doug once when we reviewed the paint for my car. The person that has done the build/restoration work on my car is independent from this person that is the painter. I think the general feeling is that the stamped items should have stayed with the original car without question but I am sure there is some detail to the reason that Doug helpd onto these parts.
