yes i realize that this topic is a FAR cry from a foxbody but i figured what the ****
so i have a friend of mine that offered up a '71 Mach 1 to me for $2000. it supposedly has a Cleveland motor (that he claims is rebuilt), it has an interior that was redone 3 years ago but the car sat outside in the meantime. he says it has a new trans in it (unfortunately it no longer has the original trans) with virtually zero miles. the story behind the car is that he was paid for a job he did with the car. he resold the car to another guy on payments. the guy could no longer make the payments so he gave the car back. but while he had the car he started a "resto" on it with the new int. and trans. my buddy tells the car is a Shelby Royale, which is a car i've never heard of, but apparently is licensed and legal to carry the shelby name. they were built by a guy in vegas that had licensing to use the shelby badging. have any of you guys heard of this kind of mustang before? what would a car like this be worth? any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated. the guy that owns the car is very trustworthy guy that is a "car guy" himself with numerous cars that he's restored personally. he just does not want this car anymore and has no further interest in restoring cars. he did say, that he no longer has the documentation to support the Shebly Royale story. it does have "Shelby Royale" in pinstripe lettering on the sides of the car.
whatchyall think?????????
