[Rick Muck- Mark IV]

67-68 fastback shells have gone nuts on price due to the "Eleanor" thing. I don't understand it, it is an ugly replica of a non-existant car! There are a hundred more attractive movie cars! The "Eleanor" is just behind the "Corvette Summer" car for fugly!

Unique was selling the cars with a "Shelby" type VIN that they were attaching to the car. Federal law prohibits modification, removal or changing the VIN attached by the MANUFACTURER of RECORD. Unique is not a certified manufacturer and therefor must keep the original FoMoCo VINs intact. Shelby American circa 1960s, WAS a "Manufacturer of Record" and thus could attach a new VIN to the Mustang chassis supplied by Ford. In the attempt to make the cars more "unique" (pun) they wanted a 'special" VIN. Old CS should have seen this coming, he has aligned himself with some people of questionable talent and ethics and now the chickens are coming home to roost! (yet another pun!)

I feel bad for the people who are getting boned on this deal, but not too bad....they were payning STUPID money for a really stupid car!
