At the 2021 MCACN show there were 2 comp red Shelbys there and one is absolutely the coolest in existence. Cool enough for Ed Meyer to once jump on a plane and go see it(according to the owner). drag pack 500 mile car.

Actually if I remember correctly there were 3 there, 2 500s and my 350. The 500 mile original is a real time capsule.

IF I may be so bold as to say its more like Mercury's 'Competition Orange' color. I pained my '70 Boss 302 that color. It appears to be more 'orange' than 'red' to my eyes. Is the Ford version called 'Competition Red'?

Several names for the same color...Poppy Red, Calypso Coral, Competition Red, Vermilion, and probably a few others.

Looks like they don't know how put the side stripe on correctly.

The car below there is a story on why it was never driven. It involved a small accident IIRC but only on one side and I think in the rear so I'd say at least one side of this car is factory original on the stripes and possibly both. I bet Ed would know.

The damage was on the passenger side rocker panel between the rear tire and door. I think the owner said that was all the damage...the car salesman struck a curb after loosing control while taking off from a red light...

Thank you. I couldn't remember the story. So the stripes are in their AO Smith installed location. I think the antenna sitting in the trunk is cool.
