.......... It must have been done right for that kind of money.
Don't bet on that - the amount spent can sometimes indicate how bad the condition (missing expensive parts or just allot of rust repair) of the car started with - or just how bad the shop stuck it to the owner
Every year I judge Shelby's who's owners are soaked for $150-200,000 (just for the "restoration" not the car) and the results are terrible. Wrong frame rails, snubbers, replacement panels slapped on with every plug weld (rather than spot welds) visible - on and on. While in other examples another shop charges as little as $40,000 plus parts and turns out a very nice end product. Bottom line - the amount spent does not equal the end results IMHO
Just a general statement - don't know this specific car. IF I were to guess I would guess that it was restored on the west coast or by someone that has done an early Shelby - but just a wild guess. Though the license plates (two different ones) and street signs don't agree with that
Wonder what it sold for - very pretty car
But while we're looking at it - sure looks like someone put the top tank of that San Jose style radiator on backwards. - opps
