I have one for my shop (36x72, 2 double & 2 single bays) & have been very happy with it. It also provides some cooling capability in the summer. Of course, I'm in the PacNW, so don't have the temp extremes you do, to deal with. Come to think of it, I don't know if there are NG-powered heat pumps, either.... Dave

world record pricing I was there and I saw this happening before my very eyes!!! Don't forget to add to the prices quoted below 10% paid by buyer, 8% paid by seller and 8 3/4 % CA tax Ouch!!!!! SGB ----- Original Mes SFM 5018 Sets New GT350 Street Car World Sales Record At Russo & Steele ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings all, New guy here to the board! Just saw the results today of the Russo & Steele action from last Saturday that I thought I'd share with all who are interested (there were two '65 GT350's of particular interest). Quoting directly from the Russo & Steele website: "We shattered our previous sales record with sales exceeding $10.6 million dollars in one night! The top sales were Shelby American competition-prepared automobiles, with a 1965 "Type 65" 427 Daytona Super Coupe bringing the top bid of the evening at $1,457,500.00. A pair of significant 289 competition Cobras followed closely behind, with 1963 chassis number CSX2138 selling for $1,292,500.00, and 1962 chassis number CSX2011 bringing a bid of $770,000.00. Additionally, two Shelby GT350s set new world-records, with a 1965 GT350-R model bringing $473,000.00, and a 1965 GT350 early 2-digit street car (SFM 5018) going for an amazing $324,500.00."

Re: world record pricing I was wrong (I know, a first, right??) Anyways - I looked up on the site and saw where the quoted prices did have those "extras" added to them - The prices you all see below reflect those "add's" - I was drinking but not THAT MUCH - The 65 street car sold for 295k and the R model sold for 430k (net, on the block)..................... Watch out Hemi pricing territory, the Shelby's are moving in......... SGB ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen G.

Re: world record pricing Neil: Im sure that will push (early)65-GT 350 cars right behind it. This is not good for enthusiasts, especially ones that don't have a Shelby yet. The reason why I say "not good" is because based upon my observation - If you own a Shelby and decide to sell it thinking you can come back to the Shelby hobby of having another one equivalent to what you had before, guess again. The prices are so high now or moving to it that its "very hard" to find another car that is comparable. Im not saying its impossible but it is getting difficult. This is probably one of the reasons why so many Shelby owners are becoming more reluctant to sell their Shelbys though I can't speak for everyone and Im sure there are more reasons too. Im curiuos though as to how many Shelby owners sold their cars and was able to find another one that was better or equal. I have not found one that was able to upgrade their Shelby without putting in more cash. I know some moved to GM stuff and that I had to put in more money to buy a 67-500 after I sold my 66 Hertz BUT not in the 50-100k area of difference. I did this years ago so I can't imagine trying to do this again with today's prices. jon - Greetings all, - - New guy here to the board! - - Just saw the results today of the Russo & Steele action from last Saturday that I thought I'd share with all who are interested (there were two '65 GT350's of particular interest). - - Quoting directly from the Russo & Steele website: - - "We shattered our previous sales record with sales exceeding $10.6 million dollars in one night! - - The top sales were Shelby American competition-prepared automobiles, with a 1965 "Type 65" 427 Daytona Super Coupe bringing the top bid of the evening at $1,457,500.00.

Re: world record pricing Most of the folks that I buy Shelby's from have no intention of "coming back into the market" - The car was bought during a "period" of their lives, they lived it and now it is on to something else. If you buy to sell then you do just that - If you buy to hold and enjoy then you do just that. You cannot be a little bit pregnant SGB ----- Original Message ----- From: <jonlee@wt.net> To: "Shelby List" <shelbymustang@carmemories.com> Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 10:53 AM Subject: Re: world record pricing > Neil: > > Im sure that will push (early)65-GT 350 cars right behind it.
