Can you say cooling problems?

Maybe that's why it only has about 100 miles on it! It is still cooling down from the last ride!

Note the radiator's lack of an overflow hose--it'll just spout coolant all over your shiney new engine!

Shows to go you that there are filthy rich people out there who just drop money for the fun of it.

I think if you were obscenely rich it might fit the bill. Especially if you were rich and not a car guy, just dabbling for bragging rights. Most of us would rather build our own - or at least pay someone to build a car to our specs, rather than just get what someone else decided to make. It's hard to visualize a person just buying this and putting it in a corner of their garage among the other cars they don't drive - but I'd expect that's who will buy it.

Yea, he just used the sheet metal screws on the top part. Should have used the little bolt with the L bracket on the bottom, then seam sealed it or something. Looks like I did it.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
If I had Jay Leno or Tim The Tool Man Taylor type money I could see building something like this. Although I would have prob. went with a 331/347 or 408/427 for a stroker. Then again, these 2 guys have so many cars I bet they have to have friends come over and drive them just so they wont sit too long. I really can't relate to that kind of money.

I was thinking the entire exhaust looked cheesy and cheap.
The header primarys were spliced into after the headers were coated, and they didn't even recoat to cover the tube sections they added in.

I don't know if you guys realize, but that is an 8.7" block.
That is why they had to lengthen the 289 headers, why they used a Vic intake (the only one available for 8.7 block), and why they got so many cubes.

Hi guys. Im new here - as a matter of fact, this is my first post.
I've spent alot of time on eBay trying to find a desent stang - that i can afford, but it seems hard. I've also looked at that one, and even though i don't have a stang yet, i can tell that that one is way overpriced.
If i was the seller, id strip it, and sell it a spare parts - could probably generate more money than that fake Shelby.

I'd save 5 grand and Buy the GT500 in the trader ads here.
It's a true and signed Shellby.


It's Guys like him that are making me Tired of Ebay.
Add the Bogus cars for sale and it's starting to be a pain to sift thru
the to find what you really want.

I am shocked at the money clones are getting at auctions like Barret-Jackson. There is definitely a lotta stupid money out there.

Remember, this car has zero bids, so it looks like the free world agrees with us.

And at $80k, reserve isn't met yet!

Allcar--I won't give you a penny more than 55K for it!

I guess this listing is proof that there is a sucker born every minute.

Have you checked Auto Trader's collector car section;

http://www.collectorcartraderonline.com/adsearch.html

That's where I found my car a few years ago. Beats the crap out of ebay!!! You can see whats close enough for you to go and look at personally. I would never bid on a collector car (especially 80k) that I had not put my very own eyes and hands on. Even if it was an original!
