    • I know exactly where you got this south of Norwalk. My dad tried buying it multiple times in the 90’s the old man would not sell it! You couldn’t even get close to the barn because of a Dog he had! Watching this takes me back I can distinctly remember going there with him to try and get it

  • I ran into an older gentleman locally a couple years ago when he and his wife were getting into a red and white GT500. I had to stop and ask about the car and its story. Turns out he bought it brand new 15 miles away in Washington, IL and has babied it ever since, everything original except the tires, and immaculate for its age. We talked about the car for over an hour, he let me get photos of the inside and outside, and said our goodbyes. About 2 minutes later he comes pulling back into the parking lot. His wife gets out of the car and asked if i wanted to take it for a ride. He took me around town for about 20 minutes, and even showed off its power quite a few times. It was a surreal experience.

    • I think it feels like astronomical because we don't associate that kind of money for a car like this, or having all that money up front, and we sat down and poured over the labor that went into this project. On the other hand, if a guy pulled up in a 2021 Porsche 911 turbo, he spent two hours at a dealer, signed some papers, and has a monthly payment. It probably wouldn't seem like an astronomical expense, even though he'll sink more money into that than this entire Shelby project, and devalue the car with time, whereas this Shelby owner had to have added value with the restoration, which should only increase in time.

  • I love this!! Brings back some great memories. Bonus: He's from Des Moines! I've lived in DSM all my life. Grew up in Beaverdale. Back in the 60's there was a shoe store in B'dale called Jerry's Shoes. He was a Florsheim shoe dealer. They were holding a national contest and the winner received a Shelby GT500! My neighbor won that car!! He was BARELY old enough to drive it!! It was the exact same car you restored only it was red. We got to drive around in it a couple of times, then his dad made him sell it! Paid for college tho. I ve talked to him or his brother several times over the years. Not a day goes by that he wishes he still had that hot rod!! Thx for memories!! Well done!! Hope to see you around town!

    • Yeah. This is the point that helped me really make sense of all the parts he left "unrestored." The temptation to do it all, removing every millimetre of rust and every dent must be high, but then you couldn't drive it in traffic while being relaxed, and enjoy it. Great to see an old manual car driving on the road. Be great to drive something like this in the USA. Being from the UK I the first time I drove an automatic was when I had to rent from the airport on holiday in the US. Great for road trips, but it is riding, not driving. Must be nice to drive a manual on some of those big roads, and actually be in control.

But when you do the upmost detail oriented level of restoring a true classic muscle car the way Bob has done, He left all the imperfections on the shelby car to tell a story of which I admired...
