Default Re: Is "stance" important?

The blue Shelby brings back memories.

A classmate in my HS still owns a 67/68? 428 Shelby convertible with 2 carb setup.. original factory yellow paint. Real Day 2 car-Sun gauges/ET slot mags, traction bars etc. His dad owned a auto wrecking yard and he worked there and he traded some cars(not wrecked) for it in the late 70's. Last time I saw it on the street was 1981 ish.. and he has no interest in driving it or bringing it out. Another guy saw it several years back when he went by and the garage door just happened to be up and it has boxes stacked on it ceiling high.

On a side note his brother had a 67/68 Shelby convertible small block car and was trying to sell it in the mid 80's and wanted some ungodly amount for it and was mad no one would buy it at the number so he put log in it and set it on fire..strange guy-true story...

In fact the whole family is batsh*t crazy. The yard was full of rare Mustangs and they were nice restorable cars at one time but now just junk. The yard is no longer in operation (EPA basically shut it down). it operated out of Eastern Ohio appalacian hill country. You had to walk on eggshells in the yard dealing with the owner..say one little thing wrong and he would literally kick you out. If he liked you he would sell you anything.

Guy was like the soup nazi.

They are still out there.
