Hate to put this mood into it, but look at the value of a Model A or Model T today. The people who are really interested in them are fewer than they were 25 years ago. More cars than the demand.

Calvin, Old buddy, I don't think that you can count on Shelby's and Model A's/T's being parked in the same parking lot when we are all gone. There's not much mystique and bravado about those Model A's/T's but the reputation of and aura of Shelby's just keeps growing. Just my honest opinion.

Calvin, My son has a business that employs a bunch of kids in their 20's. When I roll up to one of his units on a gorgeous day with the top down on my '68 Shelby the kids act like Madonna just rode into town. They act as goofy as I do when I see one. There is just something about Shelby's that will stand the test of time. I think that whatever it is about these cars it will just continue to grow. But then again I bought WorldCom stock.

Jon, Good Lord, I forgot that I bought that ENRON crap as well. Guys, please ignore my opinions. This confirms what my wife has said for years...I am clueless.
