Hi all, well after 40 years of being a Shelby owner I have found this place and here I am. I do have two questions thou. First one, how much did a Shelby cost in 1970?? Second one, how many moroon interiors did they ever put in these cars. I will watch for the answers and as time goes by maybe I can learn somethings and maybe I can pass along some info to others as well.....Rich

Maroon? Not many. Is the exterior white? With blue stripes? They made,
I think it was 10 or 20 cars that way.
But, now you can get a "Marti Report" that will tell you how much your Shelby was back when, the shipping date, build date, dealer,and they digest the info down to how many made that way. www.Martiauto.com

I still have ALL the paperwork when I got the car back in 1970. That stuff I have. I was just wondering if anyone knew what these cars cost back then. My car was $4218.37 or at least that is what I paid for it when I got it. The msrp was more like $4800 and some change. I would have to dig that stuff out again and look.
Yes it is white with the blue and a few other toys to add to the mix. There is 23,000 miles on this unrestored everything matching car. I even have the polyglas tires, but I don't trust them at all. A bunch of years ago I was out with one of my Boss mustangs which is also white, with the polyglas's on it when one let go and messed up the left front fender a bit. For that reason I would not even think of driving on these old tires.
