STUNNING BEAUTIFUL CAR. IT'S ALMOST A REAL COBRA & MOST PEOPLE THINK IT IS. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURE OF INVOICE DATED 10/25/2013 FROM US AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE & PERFORMANCE - ENGINE NUMBER #C6ME-7EZZ-AB & TRANSMISSION RUG-C1, C70R-7A040A, 01818. I'M NOT A SHELBY OR FORD EXPERT SO I'LL SHARE WHAT I KNOW & HAVE BEEN TOLD. IF YOU'RE A SHELBY EXPERT & KNOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT, I WILL RESPECT YOUR KNOWLEDGE & ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS THE BEST I CAN. I HAVE POSTED PICTURES OF VEHICLE ID NUMBERS & ETC. I BOUGHT FROM A SERIOUS CAR COLLECTOR WHO BOUGHT IN 2002. HE STATES THE CAR STARTED LIFE AS A REAL COBRA A/C & WAS WRECKED BY THE OWNER'S 16 YEAR OLD SON. MIDSTATES (WHICH IN NOW SHELL VALLEY) PURCHASED THE WRECKAGE & ASSEMBLED THIS CAR USING ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, & OTHER PARTS FROM WRECK. THE CAR HAS UNDER 5000 MILES SINCE BEING BUILT BY MIDSTATES. IT WAS COMPLETELY REPAINTED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER IN 2006, LESS THAN 500 MILES AGO. PAINT IS PERFECT. THE PAST OWNER TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHELBY SHOW WHERE CARROLL SHELBY WAS SCHEDULED TO APPEAR. AT THAT TIME THE MOTOR STILL HAD IT'S ORIGNIAL 3 DEUCE SETUP (SEE PICTURE) WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED WITH A 4 BARREL. CARROLL STATED HE RECOGNIZED & HELPED BUILD THIS MOTOR AND SUBSEQUENTLY SIGNED THE DASH. I'VE BEEN TOLD CARROLL SHELBY DIDN'T NORMALLY SIGN KIT CARS? I STILL HAVE THE 3 DEUCE SETUP WHICH IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THE LAST OWNER GOT TIRED OF HAVING TO FOOL WITH THE LINKAGE. THE ONLY FLAW I CAN FIND ANYWHERE IS A SMALL AREA OF POWDERCOAT IS BURNING OFF SIDE PIPES ON DRIVER SIDE. EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT INCLUDING MECHANICALLY. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR! I ENCOURAGE YOU OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO PURCHASE.
