Quote from: trotrof1 on June 06, 2026, 10:14:01 PMSure your car could be the only one with a given set of popular options and an AM radio but      disregards the identical cars in all respects except built with an  AM-FM or AM-8track. Compared to a 69 GT vert with a SCJ 4 speed is more value relevant.

......................There are no identical cars, that's what makes it " 1 of 1 "
Marti applies the same yardstick to vehicles 1948 - 2020. Your 69 GT-SCJ-4 speed is rare if it's the only one. How a car is optioned always has been the deciding factor on rare, doesn't matter the year.
For the 2014 MY, there were 134.345 Mustangs.
That # becomes 4,816 GT500 coupes.
That # becomes 600 painted SGM.
That # becomes 21 with black Recaros / red accents.
That # becomes 5 with the glass roof...............ETC..

...and given that, rare doesn't always equate to desirable or valuable. 

According to the dictionary; not common or frequent; very unusual:

Personally its a word that is often overused and has little meaning to me.

I was wondering who was going to be the first to say it.

From my perspective the word is checkmate.

If you are trying to send someone a picture in a private message I believe you need to upload the picture to your gallery then copy and paste the BBCODE in the private message.

There is no "right" wrong. Both without documentation are a deduction.

The description provided above is as you would expect (base on who it came from) inadequate and hastily copied from the fakebook market place post.

Actually, Michael Irvine is fairly well known for his automotive artwork.

Irving's "toolbox" series is not limited to Shelbys. In fact much of his art covers most manufacturers offerings.

A friend sent this to me as he knows my interest in Shelby. I wasn't aware of a Shelby toolbox and thought it was worth posting here. I don't own any and was not interested in purchasing this one.
