Picture have been added to his original post, again none of it shows anything other than amateur workmanship, nothing that shows what you would expect from a prototype of any kind. Instead, what I'm seeing is a local shop, and a tale spun that I'm hoping did not take the OP for a bad ride.


well thanks for the info I'm pretty sure it wasn't a part of Shelby I just thought I would confirm. So someone just  built to look like race car.

Not a bad thing, but the more I looked at your original pictures up close and brightened in photoshop, the more I saw the welds and worried you got taken for a bumpy ride. Bottom line, as long as you are happy with it that is all that matters. However, if you plan to take it to a track and do some HPDE, my advice is to take it to a properly vetted race shop and have them go through the car top to bottom.


I actually really like the car it's fast and handles great. Mainly just driving on the street. I wouldn't track the car at all My best friend is a fabricator so he will fix any metal work.
But ya this car is a lot of fun. Thanks for your honesty and knowledge.

I uploaded some photos. I did not pay that much for the car just wondering maybe someone did a replica or something. Just curious how I would find any history on the car. Or if it was even raced at all.

I just bought a 66 mustang hard top and I'm looking for some history about it. It was potentially a prototype car through Shelby America. It has all the racing equipment installed.
