Agreed. I've been doing a lot of research and for one, he has the Marti stating it was 1 of 3 prototypes; the parts are unbelievably expensive (NOS); $280k is far and away too much for the shape its in -- we'd be approaching $500k easily when combined with resto costs; I did find another "purported" 69 Shelby Prototype on another Shelby forum, located in Australia, and converted to right-hand drive <Link>;
'69 Shelby Proto ; All in all, I just don't think the payback is there..........although, it'd be a very cool car to own!
