A very nice car indeed...
Yes, but if you take a look at the wiring job in about the next to last or so pic (click on them to get the hi-res shots), it looks like RodKnock did the wiring in a drunken stupor.

That would be funny, except that I don't drink and I don't do wiring.

Looks like whoever worked on the engine bay didn't do wiring for a living either. Maybe the painter? Lot's of fumes in that paint booth!!

Any chance it came from Shelby looking like that?

We would have to turn to the true experts on that question. I have seen many originals up close and don't remember any of them looking like that!

Yes, but were those originals "restored?" I'm sure if you dropped that car off at McC's, along with a blank check, it would come back with the wiring looking pristine....

Well, here is a pic of Anthony Boosalis' 3.0.2.6 engine bay and I'm pretty sure not much has been touched on his car. He dirives if everywhere too!
