Stick a fork in it, it's done
Living RENT FREE in your minds...

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.  It's jolted by every pebble on the road

I have all UNGOLD cars

I am certainly not a Shelby Expert

wow,  SAD.  The hood springs are not even salvageable. 
Pirating!  Corporate take-over without the paperwork

From a Guns n Roses video?  Oh wait, that was a 66 G.T. 350H (though the one that took the plunge was not a Shelby).

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Three things:
I hope the occupants were ok
I hope they had good insurance
I hope this vin does not end up on another car

Maybe Mark Worman can fix it. He did a 71 HEMI Cuda.

Wouldn't be hard to spin a story (a plausible one) about how an enraged wife torched it because the husband was spending too much on the Shelby and not enough on her. Or in the alternative, was paying the Shelby too much attention.

Or vice versa and she exacted revenge on him for prying into her private affairs. This is the world in which we now live.
