A very interesting post indeed. We can all be thankful that registries hold such info on the rare ones, and that knowledgable people are found on sites like this.

I take no side on the thread before me, but would lend to say that shelling out a grand on a professional buyers review for what is evidently a very rare car, is a small price to pay for a car that will garner large dollars for many years to come. I also recognize the comments that Les stated in that this car is beautiful nonetheless, and agree with him that this car can and will without doubt, set a new benchmark for Shelby drop top pricing.

Perhaps a more extensive review should have been done before it was purchased by the current owners rather than a debate about spending the money after recent claims. If I was advertising a car at 375K or anywhere there abouts, i'd already have done that to ensure I am 100% correct in what is being marketed. Spending the dough on a qualified inspection goes without saying when purchasing a car north of 6. Hell with so many Shelby collectors in and around Atlanta, I would bet a couple judges would surface at a discounted rate just to get close to this or any Shelby for that matter.

Here's to this thread being kept civil...
