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

Life is short B happy

Divorce. A very sobering experience for a man.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
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"

He's just a snowflake that lasted about ten seconds here.

I suppose one can't deny that he has the financial where with all to do whatever he pleases and as a result he attracts SOME others to his antics kind of like a flame attracts a moth?

Geez, another membership director in training?

Every company has a "Retention" office. First you cancel your subscription. Then they call and beg you to come back.

I call that person the official apologizer. I nominate you.

Anyone is free to come join us but there is no official "Royal Procession", to crown them King Shit and there will be no official holiday declared when they join.

Gaze in amazement at the wonderfulness of his-self. Not me.

Recieved a call from a very dear friend and he advised me that the hammer price when the car got sold was $122,000

They sometimes negotiate the seller fees to help make a deal but the 10% buyers fees is what it is.

Thank you Mr Gaines for the clarification.

My buddy has the auction recorded and is also on the forum. Contacted  me and said the HAMMER went down at $122,000

Pulled out the old calculator and low and behold we get the $134K

So it was sold at $122,000 plus the 10% fee = $134k


Sold at $134,200. Anyone know what he paid for it?  Gotta factor in seller fees too.

Just FYI  he bought the Shelby for $130k  when all is said and done (sellers fees, shipping, etc)  he lost $20k on the car.

I'll call that a break even, he did enjoy owning and drive it around for a short period

Dammit, I missed bidding on this car.  I bid on the FP350S (and did not win) but somehow I totally missed this car.  Congrats to the purchaser.  If you decide you want it, let me know.
