    See Dan has put our former Shelby up for sale. Didn't think he would keep it
    too long. Nice Shelby. Hope it goes to a good home.

    Ron,



    I will make sure your old 69 GT 500 finds a caring new owner. I won't let Dan
    Cundiff, sell to an overseas Goat Herding Oil Tycoon. Swapping cars for
    checks is
    so... cold. I like to think I am looking for new caretakers of an
    irreplaceable Shelby
    "Metal on Oil & Glass."

    Around 1985 - 90 ( in the good ole days,) we mailed fliers with cars for
    sale.
    I posted anything. There were no web sites or even Ebay. Hemmings was
    considered expensive! I remember helping Ken Salter, (customer ) sell a
    restored 65 350 ( # 561 ) for $ 20,000. The idea came, that we could make
    PROFIT, from consigning cars, occasionally. We started charging a brokers
    fee of 8 - 10 %.

    Now we list cars on our web site, and try to find a good match for the
    Mustang
    or Shelby. I don't need to pressure any buyers, as good cars sell
    themselves.
    Our restoration business brings plenty of steady work and a side benefit of
    new buyers and sellers.

    So.. maybe these are going to be "good ole days", all over again with new
    prices of $ 200,000 for 65 Shelbys.
