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).
It's not just the package from Ford on my aunt's mustang, he sent it out and paid like fifty grand for new engine, new suspension and drivetrain. He gave it to her for Christmas like three or four or five years ago
