I tell you what Lee and Joe. I like you both. But you act like my opinion of Shelby is a personal affront to the both of you.
Its honestly getting a little annoying. I'd rather just ignore the whole thing because it means so little. I've tried to explain it but it seems to only make it worse. All of you have made me sick of talking about it really.
Thank God and Jesus for Carroll Shelby. Where the **** would my life be without him?

**** it! I give up.
Maybe I'll just stick with what Ive got. I obviously don't fit the mold to own one. I don't fit in anywhere here.

I agree, the Saleen body was beautiful on the S-197 cars. I almost bought one, but I just couldn't deal with the horrendous resale values. I'm a cheap bastard, and I couldn't deal with that kind of loss if I wanted to sell it. I took a bath on the SGT that just about killed me.

Yeah Al but that's a rare reason, most say the dollar. There are some things Shelby that I definitely don't like the looks of.

Finally some mustang talk and all hell breaks loose. Scothew would be so proud.

The money may be the source of a lot of the hate. I may be a bit different. Im cheap also. I only buy used and if I plan on modding (which I always do), I'll buy already modded. Let the previous owner take the loss. But if I break it, I can also fix it myself.

Lee,
I don't think I've changed one bit.
But that's twice now that you've said that.
I guess i do take the internet too seriously. The people I thought were friends really aren't. My mistake.

Duly noted. However, I still consider you my friend, even if we disagree. Adios mi amigos.

I think so - plus the fame.
I remember reading in Think and Grow Rich how firestone hitched his wagon to Ford's star. I think Shelby did the same - though Shelby made some serious contributions for Ford back in the day so it was a two way street.
I think many are jealous because they don't have that same opportunity - or *****.
Yet - like Firestone - if you don't stay on your game and perform, history will leave you behind. Plus getting greedy and ego bound will bite you every singe time. Which I'm guessing is part of where Gary is coming from.
So some of the Shelby hate is out of bounds based on how much Ford (and our Mustang brand) benefitted. But a lot of it Shelby brought on himself by his greed and thinking he can walk on water. :splash:
I'm old enough to remember back in the late 60's & early 70's that the Mustang was hot stuff - but Shelby was a different league. So I'm happy to give him his due. But I haven't opened my wallet for him either.
And I don't think anyone will ever be able to say that Ford wasn't honorable towards him - even in today's cut-throat era of corporate greed where shareholders yell "cut him loose!" at every whim of a quarterly report.

Yeah. Back when the shelbys came out, they were bought by a different group of people. And the regular mustang folk/gearheads could only stare and wish. Kinda like today's Shelby owners (not all of them). Probably why a lot of the 60's gt500's are still around and unmodded. The gt350's on the other hand were raced a lot more often and are a lot more rare now.
