Thank you! You're right about that! I appreciate the kind words

We viewed it at the show, wondered where it ended up.

Rare car true 1 of 1 Shelby

Thank you, I appreciate the comment.

It is a neat car and a blast to drive. It's a lot of fun with the Turbo setup.

Located in Louisiana, north of New Orleans, in Covington. Thanks

At the SEMA Show in October 2009, executives with Shelby Automobiles unveiled a new turbo package.  The 550 horsepower "Shelby Turbo" package boosted not only the car's output, but also enhanced the handling, braking and looks of the venerable pony car. It was the first turbo system designed and engineered to be 50 state and CARB compliant for a post-title package on this platform. This package never made it into production.

The installed package included: Shelby/Turbonetics Turbocharger with 550 HP, Short throw shifter, Shelby Pro-Plus 4 wheel brake system, Performance suspension with Caster/Camber Plates, la dual exhaust, Shelby Bar Grille and stripes, Shelby Gauge Pod and Shelby Signature Gauges, Serialized dash and engine bay plaque, Shelby Functional Deep Draw hood with pins, Specific 18" X 9" Chrome Aluminum Wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 275/35/18 tires.

Optional equipment includes: Shelby GT-H Front Fascia and Shelby Rear Fascia, Baer 6-Piston Extreme front and rear brake kit, Front Brake Ducts, Performance clutch, Eibach Pro-2 Coil-Over Shocks and Struts, Eibach Pro Sway Bar Kit and Eibach Pro Alignment Kit, 1" drop Lower Ball Joints, Bump Steer Kit, upgraded front lower control arm bushings.

This is the prototype and only car built, making it "one of one." This has been confirmed by Shelby.
The car appeared in numerous publications and on the floor of the SEMA show. Photos of the event showing Carroll Shelby next to the car before his passing.

Surprised that someone would go through the trouble of changing out the interior and top. Those changes are probably gonna hold it back and bit I would guess.

I agree with you. I never will understand how you can restore the car to your own color preference and not go back original but to each his own

Lots of easy fixes could improve the presentation.

I'm curious about the easy fixes as well. I noticed a few things as well. It's been hovering at $70k but can't imagine it ending that low.

Thanks for the advice and help guys. This makes the decision easier. I appreciate steering me in the right direction. Thanks

Here are the 3 wheel sets...

Hello all, looking for an extra set of wheels for our 68 GT350. This will be for radial tires so we can take the Goodyear Speedways off. What is the correct backspacing? There 3 different repo wheels with 4.25", 4.5" and 4 3/8" backspacing. I want to make sure we get the right set that should fit with no issues. Thanks in advance.
