Default Re: Unique Shelby Convertible for sale

Some facts that I know about this car are:

It was bought out of Kentucky by Dave from IN
Sold to J
Restored by K (one of the best in the business)
Sold by J at BJ
When the car was at BJ it was housed in the premier tent, not in the fields, acknowledging it as a fantastic car.
The time came for J to bring it out of the tent and into the line up. When the car was barely out of the tent and not even into the line up, still on the west side of the tent a gal driving her husbands led sled did not stop and drove into the rear end of the vehicle. We scrambled to fix the superficial damage, a felt marker was used to color the fragmented fibreglas on the tail light panel. There were no less than three of us behind the car all the way through the line up and onto the podium.
A lawsuit followed and J brought in an expert witness to testify that $25,000 damage had been done. The amount was awarded and J payed his lawyers $20,000 of it and kept $5,000. As usual the expert witness got nothing for his time but did go to court to testify. The repairs were all done and this might be where some of the confusion on this car started.
