    hi there - just wondering if anybody knows where i could acquire a copy of "The Shelbys Buyer Guide" written by Rick Kopec in the early 80's. Any leads would be really appreciated.
    cheers

    I saw one listed somewhere recently. I'll look around and let you know if I run across it again.

    thanks for your quick replys chaps - looks like the "dreaded ebay" is the place for everything these days. I know anything "Shelby" is a sellers market but any idea how much to pay for one of these please? thanks.:)

    If you are under $100 and it's signed by CS then....

    dance in the streets. You got a bargain. If it's not signed then I can't help you. I only buy signed collectables.

    unfortunately it wan't me Dave - i was too slow !! but thanks for the heads-up........really apprec. Another small problem is what the kiwi dollar is worth these days....it's almost half the USA dollar so at this end we have to almost double the price and then add postage - a US$90 book can end up costing (landed in NZ) around NZ$225 - but a small price to pay for a Shelby collectable i feel. cheers.
