I would be more concerned with litigation arising from the use of a letter purportedly signed by CS as provenance given that he himself indicated it was a forgery.  If that document is specious in nature, then there is nothing tying the car directly to CS as ever having used the car as a demo.  It may have been sent to Shelby American , but that means very little.  If there were ten cars as alleged, then I would think that there is a good possibility that Kevin Marti (they will always be Emminger reports to me) could pull the info based upon the destination (Shelby American).  In addition, it is quite possible that they would be close in numerical VIN order to this one if they were all ordered the same way. 

Coming from a family of attorneys, just sayin...................

... when was the promotion?

It seems Mr Becker might have some insight? I think he posts on the forum.....

The Flying Mullet?

IIRC, this car (and letter) or one like it was debunked in one of the old Shelby Americans.

I dug out the Shelby American (#65) where this car and a similar letter were sent to CS and then to Kopec for the SAAC Mail Bag.  See scan. 
As I mentioned, they were debunked after CS, Al Dowd and Lew Spencer called BS. 
I guess the owner didn't like the answer and waited for CS to pass on in order to try and cash in.  You can say what you want if no one is there to deny it.  I know I bought my car because it came with a letter stating Steve McQueen was being pleasured by Angie Dickinson & Anne Margaret  while doing 198 miles per hour across the Golden Gate Bridge.
If someone is willing to pay that kind of coin for a Thunderchicken with Cragars, they deserve what they get.

Yes, purchased by Wheels Vintiques.

In the mid 80's, I bought a set of Hertz Magnums from Tom that he had restored

The ancient Egyptians would be proud.

Carpet ain't cheap!

  Brian,
     The knob is being sold in WA state , the land of $10,000 '66 GT350 hoods and $25 carb wing nuts. When the either wears off it could bring $100.

The knob is free.  The hermetically sealed case is $2,300.  It is a scaled down version of the one Michael Jackson slept in.

By now does anyone still think the seller doesn't know?

I believe all of the comments should actually help the buyer and seller. 

The buyer should be well informed with little effort.  The seller could also have a claim that if the buyer was interested in the cars "detailed" history all he or she had to do was contact the SAAC or get on the internet.  I hope both parties are educated and the buyer want's the car even with the checked past and the seller is honest about it.

A $105k, the "Who's the bigger fool" principle applies.

What's that phrase about bad pennies?

Amazing inverse relationship between less info in the ad and higher bids... 
$105k, Either shill bidding or they have some poor soul  on the line.  However, I guess it is still cheaper than the Revology or Classic Recreation versions.

At least it doesn't have an LS motor in it.

Will they have their own Registry?

Not a bad price for a carry over.

I thought that all carryover cars were white?

Steve Yates' Ivy Green 6S051 aka supercharged prototype was the first non white Shelby (poster was  available from Jim Cowles) and, I believe, the Hertz prototype 6S048 was white before they painted it black.

The one they don't want to share because it will show that there are far too many cars to ever make them collectible within the next 50+ years. Counting the Ford ones well over 100,000 since the SVT Mustang was rebadged as a GT500 in 2005.

I think the fact that someone paid $225k (if, that is true) and 6 years later they are having trouble getting $145k says it all.   I do like the Marti report that shows it was a C code car to start with.

If they want to look to the future, they may want to offer classes for high performance autonomous driving.

I did an excellent job of marketing it I did  excellent job of presenting it

All that and humble too!
