I'd say "66GT350PS" had summed up the story of this car and related info very well.

This car will always be a conversation piece. I doubt it will ever be considered as a second generation continuation Shelby, even though that was it's intended purpose. It is more than an ordinary clone but far less than a Beverly Hills continuation car without legal documentation to say otherwise. With all the controversy around the Shelby VIN number vs Ford VIN, I would never touch this car for any price. If I were someone who wanted a '66 Shelby vert but couldn't afford the 1 of 4 originals, or the 1 of 12 continuations, I would build my own clone for far less than this car and have my choice of colors, options, etc.
$80k in this market is just not a reasonable expectation for what it is or is not. (my 2 cents)

Move that decimal and we are talking. $8,000

Are the Autograph's legitament? Specifically the SFM#? The number on the dash looks a little feminine for the Old Man...

I would specualte that the signatures are real.  At the time that they were done, CS did have an authorization deal with the maker, but that was pulled, if you read the full story.  So the Shelby number is not authorized or valid.  That makes the car a very nice reproduction, not a Shelby American continuation vehicle.

My point was that it appears the SFM# was added to the signature which could mislead someone that Shelby himself wrote down the number.

I could live with the car. To bad they don't go into detail whats in it. $30/$35k ???    The originals or continuation ones don't come up for sale very often.
