This is the first one I've seen under $70K in a couple of years. While not "cheap" per se, relative to other real Shelbys it is the least expensive vintage one I've found recently.

 

MG, You've got half the money from the sale of the Cobra! Tempted? I like the body style of the 69/70's. Found a 500 in Auburn in '81 for $2500 needed a front cap and Cobra Restorers had one in the crate for $1500. Shoulda, coulda, woulda kennyg
I did try to track it down again in '91 and it had been sold to a GI so no telling where it is now.

 

I am tempted - probably not a bad investment. Right now I have a line on two 1960's cough...Corvettes...cough that I am pursuing - only as money makers, mind you.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda - back in the early '80s there was a Black Jade '69 GT350 sitting in a shed on Newsome Road in SW Huntsville that I coulda bought for $4500... And let's not forget the REAL '65 Shelby that Mark Davis bought on Green Mountain and offered to me for $13K (now routinely going for $250K and up).

 

PE ratio is waaaay high on all these cars. Better investment is Turbo Supra.
