I really got the sickness when I was about 12. I went to my great aunts house in palm desert and the neighbor had this car under a cover, my dad took me over to see it and it was a green shelby gt 500 convertable! The owner was the original owner and it had about 18k mi!!! He was going to get it detailed and have new tires installed the next week and sell it. He was asking 8,500-9,000 for it (around 1984?). I tryed talking my dad into buying it and he almost did. Now I remind my dad every time we see a shelby!!
