A while back there was a post that included a photo of a sign that appeared to come from Shelby Engineering. Well, it was half the sign. It may have even been in the club magazine. Does anyone have this photo?

I have noticed it appears Mecum is blurring serial numbers

When someone posts an advertisement or comment it appears at the top of the recent comments section.

As more comments are posted the older comments eventually fall off

By posting "bump" it stimulates the conversation to reappear at the top of the recent comments

Bumping is allowed, but frequent bumping is discouraged

So a reverse 105 is a truck block. Its my understanding the ribs were added to extend the life of the molds

So right now youre bidding on a quarter million dollar car thats not a particularly good restoration, non matching number, that may have been legally owned by Shelby.

Or...

You could be bidding on a relatively inexpensive, beautifully preserved example with free shipping, validated by a living legend and driven by Shelby.

Pay attention, you are getting a master class in marketing here. Including the "razzle dazzle"

Somehow I think Mr Shelby might find the "alter ego" comment a bit ironic

🤔

Did the seller say it was original?

Its in the auction multiple times, but has gone unaddressed

I guess I don't have any knowledge of previous legal actions. I'm also not sure what Shelby knew or didn't know with regards to titles?

Probably best not to speculate on that.

I can say there seem to be some things said, that don't appear to be correct.

The block thingy being one.

I am not sure what is actionable? The cars were titled legally.

You might be able to make case for unethical, but illegal? Maybe some people don't care if CS never saw the car and only "legally" owned it for a hot minute.

Contrary to BaT popular opinion, I don't think, a 76 year old Carroll Shelby was driving this car around Las Vegas.

I believe Mr Becker. This wasn't the only car he titled with Shelby.

The letter says they were doing it to make money.

Is it just me or did the "original" smog system change?

Now do Elvis, it will be about as real!

The block was cast after the car was built.
