    First off, My name is Shawn and I would like to say hi to all of you Shelby lovers out there. I have been a Shelby fan for more of my 42 years than I can remember. I even painted one of my First Mustangs (1973 Grande) midnight blue with Shelby style racing stripes.

    A little bit about me, I became a mechanic when I joined the Army and fell into a Job at a ford dealer in Dallas TX. I moved back to my home in Denver and remained a Technician for many years. I have owned my 1967 Coupe since 1992. It may not be a Shelby mustang but it is a mustang none the less. I have owned a variety of other mustangs and other cars/trucks over the years and hope I never have to sell my 67. I am building it to be a Drag car running a big block 429.
    Here is a pic of a 2012 Shelby I did pre-delivery inspection on. I tell you, the car is amazing! The Glass roof and the manageability of the car to drive in town or on the highway is amazing!

    I am regretfully having to join up here to warn each and everyone of you from making purchases from this person. My post may be removed and I know that's how it goes but I truly feel this person needs to be removed from the industry as he has made people like me embarrassed to even say I am a car enthusiast. I am going to post the link for all of you to read for yourselves.

    Thank you all and take care!
    Shawn

    Welcome Shawn. Show us a photo or two of your '67 coupe when you have a chance.
