Default Re: "Dream Car Garage"

I believe Peter (think it's Klutt?) did a lot of racing in his early days. I would say his best knowledge is in the Shelby arena which I think he raced and maybe still does. In the early 90's, and probably in the 80's as well, his business was called "The Shelby Shop". They primarily concentrated on restoring Shelby Mustangs and Cobras. He obviously has branched out from that. I have never met the man myself.

My personal opinion of him unfortunately went downhill earlier this year when he did his end of show feature on Dream Car Garage about the 69 L78 Lemans Blue 300 Deluxe Post Car. At the time of that shooting the car was in his inventory and he "hyped" it up big time. What he was saying about that car and the production numbers were, to put it bluntly, way out in left field. From my standpoint he came across as just another used car salesman. I guess I am saying that due to my knowledge of the specific models he was talking about.

Having said that, there is no doubt in my mind he knows the resto business. Just my two cents worth.
