It is my opinion that the 69 shelby gt500 is the coolest of the cruiser shelbys and should be the most valuable of the bunch. But to be honest I get more kicks taking my 65 R-model replica to track events than cruising around town in my 69 gt500 convert. Don't get me wrong, I still love the convert but at those prices?????? I don't know.
