Yeah. I bet you could blow them away. But he always dreamed of having a Corvette from when he was a kid and he's worked hard to be able to afford those. I remember him starting and failing at twenty different businesses before he created one that took off and now he's pretty well off
I do have some 'bad news'. A "Shelby" Mustang is (depending on the year) just a package name or was something sent to his "workshop" which was almost mass-assembly. There are a few that he himself touched and they're very expensive.
The car my lawyer crashed was a Shelby Cobra GT350, built in 2017 - long after Shelby was dead.
He did a few personally in the late 60s and those were used by FRD (Ford Racing Division - now called Ford Performance). Those will be signed - but the problem is that Shelby fucking signed everything.
Is there a signature, typically in white, on the glove box cover?
I don't remember if there's a signature or not
It was sent to one of his shops. I doubt he actually saw the car. This mustang is a 2017 or so. I didn't mean Shelby personally worked on it, just he has shops in his name beefing them up
If it's a 2017, it's a great car to crash in!
And, no... Shelby wouldn't have signed that. He'd be dead by then. Carroll Shelby died in like 2012. These days, the Shelby name on a Mustang is a package name. I'd say Carroll would be pissed, but he wouldn't be. He fucking endorsed anything and everything!
I met Carroll Shelby at numerous events. He was a nice guy. I have a t-shirt signed by him somewhere. He always carried a couple of markers to sign stuff and signed anything asked.
He was a fascinating person. His involvement with the Ford GT40 is now a well-known story due to the movie (I assume, I haven't seen the movie).
