I'm enjoying this post I suppose until the actual purchase price is known it's all speculation as to the extent of premium attached to the Shelby moniker.

Shelby Americans' involvement in the GT40 was very significant and why not remind the new generation of GT40 enthusiasts of that?

Chuck and Cliff both raise good points regarding what amounts to the value of the brand name. I have concerns about the volume of a "limited" run, is 245 cars too many?

As per the money motivation, there's probably been more money made by private car owners on the resale of geniune Shelbys than ol'Shel ever received on the originals. What do you have to pay for a decent 1967 GT350 these days...
