Quote from: Nova68 on March 04, 2026, 02:08:37 PMHere we go again all the Shelby experts gotta get there 2 cents in.  Your coments are just like on bring a trailer.  Everyone has to chime in.  Who cares your probably not a player to purchase it.  Its just sad everytime a car is listed somewhere all the experts on here come out to bash it, thinking your doing the hobby a favor.

    Yeah, that 'is' the purpose of a specialized forum, where participants are here to share knowledge, insight and comment of and on the particular subject matter relevant.  And if one were a "serious player", what I'd hope for 'is' some critical commenting from the "experts", at least those whom might be more knowledgeable (which in my case probably is most anyone  ::) ) and or just more observant.  I have no need for those just bantering about what a great car it is (might be), not really knowing of what they speak, the individuals doing the selling generally provide adequately here. And this particularly like many in the peanut gallery on B.A.T., whom also aren't "players" either, rather just "wanna-feel-good" posting noise makers ;)

QuoteLike or Hate Dennis people reach out to him and not you, why is that?

    If this is actually a question to the forum expecting a response?  Well to me, he's just another "used car salesman", which generally means, in order for him to do business, if selling, your going to be offered something less than what it's worth in the marketplace, and if buying, your going to have to pay more than knowledgeable others thought it was worth!  Which 'is' all O.K. just as long as everyone understands we 'are' doing business, and we're not pals and your really not doing me any favors.  ::)     

QuoteHes brought alot of cars back into the hobby that would be just left to rot. His videos are for entertainment, except them for that and nothing more or dont watch them.

    Your quite the standard bearer for him and/or his videos.  But do you really think "he's brought a lot of cars back that would otherwise . . . . ."?  And I'll admit, there is "some" information being presented that proves interesting, perhaps we'll say, most being accurate and useful, but the density of this is too low, and the video drags on too long, with just too much dribble, leading anyone, but the absolute novice, to become bored and choose to turn away from it.   ;D                   

    But then, that's what successful u-tube videos are are about, "views", and appealing to the (ignorant) masses, whom wish to be just "entertained",  will get you more hits!   :o

       And boy does "Dennis" have a following, it's beginning to present a little like a "cult" following!   :o

I would love to see what the floors look like without the rugs in place.

The floors on the KR? Most of the original floor has been replaced. Well, except where the holes are.

Its not even original paint, but don't tell them that.

Can we name this cult?

Just look from below - that will provide some insight and other evidence of repair, reattachment and replacement in a number of areas.

I got flagged after reading all the "I hope the new owner drives it" comments

I posted

"I hope the new owner doesn't get an incurable disease"

Seriously, it needs to be gutted

I threw  a " fun fact" out there that original Shelby fiberglass under the topside paint has gray primer. Look at the hood paint flaking off and Red primer on it. Fender apron crunched pretty good so some say they are only original once? How much is original on this car
