My Shelby came home today after a 3 yr sprucing up. She drives like a dream and my wife even went on a date just like old times. ;D

 That car is so darned sweet.  Perfect color. Can't wait for more pics. Who did the "sprucing up"?

The car looks great.  Can't wait to hear more about the history of it.  Did you buy it new?

 Thanks for the compliments. I bought her in July 1970 with a tad over 8K Hertz miles.
