A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

RCs shop sucks !!! What good is it to see what you have ??? I like to spend 2 days looking for that one part I know is on the shelve somewhere.  :rofl:

Now that is sarcasm....I like my method of storing crap in boxes and file cabinets that are not labeled so I can open everything up to find that part I am looking for...only to find out it was on my work bench all along... :rofl:

ya 1 of 4.. Last Shelby made in 66 #2378.. It was Shelby's wifes car.  Cali car with 25k on it..  I drove it for one summer.. Bought it in 1974 or 75. Bought the 427 Cobra in 1976. Matter of fact it was 36 years ago today that I bought it. Day before Melissa was born . Damm years fly by !! I was a punk ass kid then !! Now just an old buzzard  :rock:

a big chunk of change...the story as I have read it is carol built one for himself and it was sold...so in 1980 he did 6 conversions and kept one for himself...mayb e Dan should contact Carol and see if he wants to buy it back
