Ex-Carroll Shelby 67 GT500 on BAT #0981

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.

The term brought up is that a person was being "defamed" by suggestions of misrepresentation and as far as I know it, it was unknown to Shelby and it was one of his employees that were involved, by which the accusation of misrepresentation emanates.

It has nothing to do with how I feel but some that had purchased such vehicles made their own after the fact decisions of what actually constituted fraud. Not me. Talk to the lawyers.

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.

Judging by the date code, it is more likely that it is a "C" scratch rather then an "A" but the id is mixed around that date and could be either.

FE's are full of contradictions.

I would call it a "Day 2" car and leave it at that. There are buyers for both "Concours Original" and for "drivers". Some buyers consider drivers more desirable but a buyer should be knowledgeable.

c scratch blocks came in in June of 67 so a March block would be an A scratch block
