Here in Alberta Calgary's Shelby dealer was Metro Ford. Still operating under the same banner. In Edmonton it was Healy Motors, where my 68 originated. In 1996 it was sold, and the name changed to Sherwood Ford.

I don't own a trailer, so if my cars go anywhere, they go under their own steam.

Sadly, my cars see little road time. A beautiful evening though here in Calgary, so stretched the legs of the 69. Ran like a charm.

This is for a non Blue Oval product. Best of show at the annual High River Classic 2022, the largest show in southern Alberta. It weighs a ton. You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Thanks for sharing. Takes me back to great memories of these cars in the day.

I have always thought this was one of the great nostalgic pieces to the cars of the day. Anyone could go into their Ford dealer, and if they were willing to wait, could order a special paint on an everyday car. My father ordered a special paint color on his 64 Galaxy 500.
The German's will still do this...for a price.

Sweet!
A lot of love in 27 years.

Sorry to demonstrate my simple Canadian naivety, but is that not simple out and out fraud?

This was our Shelby dealership in Calgary.

Fuller Ford, Cincinnati. Home of my 69.

As said by all above, they are two very different cars.
Is your decision to be based on: personal enjoyment factor, aesthetics, investment potential? Answer those questions, and you should have your answer where you want to put your money.
Will defer to wiser souls here, but from a pure investment perspective a big block should win out when comparing these two years head to head nearly always.

Matching numbers, but the window sticker says it was a four speed...Oh, matching, other than the transmission.
It went to a Pennsylvania dealer, so a km speedometer must be a late afterthought during restoration. Certainly makes it "look faster".
