Taken from another site... written by a race driver who has driven one...

"I got to drive one (year ago?). Giant rumbling v8. No flywheel at all. Grabby clutch. I killed it about 15 times in 30 minutes. You basically had to be spinning the (giant) rear tires to get away from a stoplight. The shift lever was like something out of a truck, about 3 feet long. It shifted like a truck too. Push, shove, clank, phew. It's the anti-lexus. I loved it."

if there were only 249 cars made, how can that one be number 256?!

Ew! That just looks cheap, they put that crappy chinese plastic everwhere! Looks like the same interior from a cheap ford truck.
No thanks!
Ugh.-ly.

for a 100K, I could buy a new M6, or an Alpina B8 that's floating around the Honolulu classifieds.

You would think that someone really trying to sell a $100k car would put a little more time in the ad... and maybe take the dang cover all the way off for the pictures!

It does make you wonder, now doesn't it...

If I was selling a 100k car, I would have had heaps and heaps of pics of it, a full history, and and all sorts of info on my listing!!

Probably hasn't been started in years, all the seals have dried out, the oil and fuel have gone bad, and all those lovely things too!!


And I agree... Not a pretty car by a long shot!!

I disagree, I think it's a very pretty car. I wouldn't care for one, but it's pretty nonetheless.

I thought the shely one out performs the cobra kit? at least in handling. Cobras are fun but out dated... I would personally get something else all together that price range you are getting into porsche range.

Don't put Chinese on it. That is definitely cheap American plastic that you can find in many Ford Escorts.

Don't blame the Chinese. This is definitely cheap American plastic that can be found in many Ford and GM.

from another site...

"I got this from the seller."

Quote:
Shelby set out to produce only 500 cars so they preassign number to dealerships. The many didn't sell so therefore the numbers were not produced.

"I think this means that there are gaps in the numbered sequence."
