And for those who don't have that kind of coin you could get this instead.

My mouth waters just looking at that.

'67-'68 Coupes (Mustang) were always my favorite - had a few.

Too bad its not a real Shelby, just a clone that somebody made and gave to Shelby to auction off for charity. Only thing legendary about it is the name they stuck on it. Here is what a real one looks like, and best of all it sits next to my Smart in the garage! Also if you notice, there never was a Shelby coupe, they were all fastbacks and convertibles except for the ones that were done in Mexico

Car is originally a red car with white stripes but I love the Hertz Shelby's with the gold stripes and House of Kolor rules when it comes to paint. I have had the car since 1978, when i am dead the next person can paint it back original.

Uhhhh what color was your car originally?

Gee - Do you think you could get $100,000 for it. That could buy a lot of smarts with $100,000.



Or one loaded orphan

I had to ask. Most of my Mustangs I've painted to a color I liked, the latest will go back original as I like the original color - Vintage Burgundy.
