    Perhaps. I have yet to see another example. I am also confident that no one besides Chris and I, know exactly how much has been spent on that car. I am pretty confident that what you think was spent on the car is "not even close". But, this is not a contest. No receipts are going to posted by me, that's for sure. Fact remains that I have not seen another GLHS even in the category of #432, and, it's the only GLHS that has been in the Shelby Museum these last few years. It's still there.

    p.s.- What a stupid thing to argue over.

    It's not stupid at all. Egotistical yes but I just wanted to point out that there are other cars in this community that have had money thrown at them similar to #432.

    It's great that it's in a Museum and others are getting to enjoy it. I applaud the owner for building it and placing it there. I for one, would never let that happen. At the time #432 was placed in the Museum, car #86 was not in Carroll's possession. Not saying the Museum wouldn't have taken #432 but just saying car #86 wasn't around. Besides car #86 is not owned by Shelby Museum, it's in Carroll's personal collection along with #001. However after his death I'm not sure who's name is on the title of these cars.

    My point is....while I'm sure #432 is an awesome car, it's not the gold standard when it comes to 86 GLHS's out there. However I'm sure it's in the conversation along with cars #086, #126, #276. I'm not putting my car in this category because as I drive my car, track my car, compete with it and as a result it gets wear and tear, stone chips, etc... when they get to be too much for my liking, I will restore it again and again....

    Most of the cars listed above are garage queens and there is nothing wrong with that either.

    Have you seen the cars listed above?

    I know a lot about #086, and it was not traded hands for anything close to the money of #432. Still a stupid argument, and in 2009 when #432 was being wrapped up, there was nothing in that car's class.

    BTW, the owner of #432 plans to road race the car when it comes out of the museum - hence why it was built the way it was. To me, your argument sounds a lot like sour grapes, but email/forums often cover up a person's true tone and attitude.

    ....Anyway, Tracy, thank you for posting up that you found my old car. I am very hopeful that you will be able to acquire it, and get a lot of enjoyment out of it!

    I clearly stated the reasons for my post.

    I hope he does track it. Only time will tell.

    IMO I seriously doubt # 432 will see a track under its current ownership but I hope I'm wrong.

    FWIW, *I* tracked #432 in early 2010 It also got to show its tail lights to several, rather surprised, Shelby Mustang owners, too.

    I agree, stupid argument, I will shoot you some pictures of 053 if I get it or where it currently sits.

    The argument is not stupid. I present you with video proof of the most money dumped into a Shelby Dodge automobile in all of history. I had an associate pass off a promise of payment to the shop's accountant.

    In that case, I'm just trying to keep up with you. Really......are you that pathetic that you get your balls all blown up over a comment about a decal that looks stupid????? If I mention the paint looks horrible, are you going to rage like the hulk too???? Good grief. You haven't changed.....and neither have I. Beat you to it!!
