Paradise Wheels have been doing them for a long time. I had three of mine done by them back in the '80's so they have a lot of experience with them.

Assuming the stripe to be original isn't that a '68?

I was thinking the same thing.....
Since it was a white car repainted the stripes wouldn't be original. I bet Mark Worman could "fix" that car. LOL

I believe that was in reference to the coffee table Shelby, not the "cubed" Shelby -

The person who got the 1967 Shelby from the junk yard and turned it into a coffee table is a SAAC member and made sure the Registrar got the Vin. number and details. The car was white originally and had at least one color change. Yes, someone did rebody the car and it is in the Registry.

That's interesting. A buddy of  mine had a '68 KR Fastback in the '80's, the car had been in an accident at one time and he assumed one of the brake scoops had been replaced because it didn't have the ridge in it. He very carefully ground it down to match the other scoop before he had the car repainted. It was a Lime Gold automatic car with Saddle interior.....

Sacrilegious

I saw this car at Cars and Coffee in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. His claims about the car are a bit over the top as well IMO.

Bought our '67 GT500 in 1982 for $7800. A California car that was purchased by a Canadian classic car dealer who took it to Edmonton, had it painted and took it to the International Mustang Meet in Calgary which is where I spotted it. Still had the Black plates on it. I peeled all the stickers off back to the original 1967 sticker. My kids will most likely inherit it.

Bought our '87 GLHS ( I know, but it's fun to drive) in about 1997. Found it at a dealer's auto auction in Billings Montana. My kids probably won't inherit this one, although my two sons in law think it's kinda cool. The most rare car I own and the least valuable!

Bought our '07 GT 500 knew in the spring of '07. Will probably own this car until I tip over too.

Twenty year increments, '67, '87 and '07. Might have to see what's available in '27.

1967 Shelby #27 currently resides in Montana, a white GT350. Where did #26 end up?

'67 GT500 #589. Owned since 1982. A bunch of trophies from local car shows but no events judged by Shelby experts. Just a car that gets driven a lot and I've never been too concerned about original parts etc. I've kept everything I've ever taken off of it, but I just want to drive it and have fun.

Revology makes beautiful cars. They're not for me, I'd rather buy an original Shelby for less money, but for people who can afford it and want classic style with modern technology and creature comforts, why not?

Here's a link to a video about a car they built for The Dirty Knobs guitarist Jason Sinay. The Dirty Knobs is a side project of Mike Campbell for Tom Petty's Heartbreakers.

Not interested in the car, but he describes it as a '65 Shelby GT350, I didn't see anywhere in the listing where he identifies it as a clone. It obviously is to those of us here, but somebody who's not as familiar with Shelby's may fall for his questionable statements. It's still a rare car, being a K-code, but it's not what he describes it as.

Clean GA title in hand
  Titled as a
"Shelby GT350"
on the Georgia Title,
It is a non-list in registry car

Title and reman SFM ID plate, Shelby GT350 Owner's manual, will all go with the car
