The Shelby! I've always been partial to Mustangs. I've owned two of them and lately have been thinking about looking for a stock '67 GT I had one years ago and loved that car.

The biggest selling I have to do is selling the idea to my wife.

That thing looks to be MANY tropical vacations on hot rubber.

Wonder what the reserve is?!

Aren't Shelby's about a billion dollars for a real one?? Nice though.

I had a stock '67 for a few years. My favourite year, although '68 is a close second but '67 was the nicest looking year. Wish I had had the 289 but I had a straight-6 200. There is a sum total of ZERO aftermarket parts for that engine, at least in the 80's and 90's there was nothing. Roared like a lion but was a total stylish wimp otherwise. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling that thing. Mostly I did it so my parents couldn't nag me about it and the funny thing is that I failed to take into account that they'd just find something else to nag about. Times were tough and I ended up practically GIVING it away for approximately 10% of the going rate for them nowadays. Thanks a LOT, Mom and Dad.

Er, did I just say that out loud? Sorry, um ... what I meant to say was .. uh .. nice tank and stuff.

I can't afford a Shelby Tony. But I'd love to get my hands on a stock '67 Fastback. Red! I think the stock red colour that year was Candy Apple Red. They came stock with a 390 cu.inch, 320 HP. 0-60 in 7.4 seconds, painted side scoops. My idea of a "Muscle Car"!
