Huh,wonder where he got the 150.Last I heard of him he was getting arrested for stealing appliances from an unoccupied house in his neighborhood....Guess those Maytags bring big cash on the "secondary market"...

Vanilla Ice, a.k.a. Robert Matthew Van Winkle. With that name I assume he was asleep while they did that to his car. I'm a fan of ALL day two cars - except this pimp mobile. This is the only car I would like to see returned to off the line day one.

I'm sweatin' like steam and you can feel the flow and I'm rollin' in my 5.0.

I think you Shelby guys need to respect this guy. NUMBER ONE, he drives a MANUAL. NUMBER TWO, watch the second video, if that is not you, you better just sell your SHELBY NOW!
When someone talks about his or her car and uses the word "emotional" that means a lot. If you have not felt emotional after a long respiration process, its time to sell.

Sure, sure, but he gets emotional with new sneakers. They're always the best he's ever had!

I always get all teary eyed when I drive mine but that's because the exhaust is too rich.

Good one! I must admit, not knowing much about him, I just thought that he related his feelings well. I am upside down on my Boss 302, but I said to my wife, "5 deadbeat shops, the 6th place was where I should have took it in the beginning, its a matter of proving everyone who saw it, said it could never get done! Is it worth this cost after all the others? Yes."

You are not upside down if you plan never to sell the Boss 302.  And why would you unless the most dire of emergencies necessitated such a sale.  Enjoy the machine for which it was intended and revel in your times with it I say.  The fact that you endured five prior shops until the sixth one completed your dream is a testament to your strength of character and that is worth more than the money expended.  You should be most proud of that trait and your determination.  It speaks to who you are every time you get in the driver's seat.

Good Lawd $150K to restore/alter that fox body. That sacrilegious  !
