But the Shelby has the blue metallic, a custom mixed yellow with gold fleck metallic and an awesome white metallic with pearlescent fleck...and they all look great together so I knew I had to meet the guy who had painted the car.

It really shows that he worked hard on it. Why'd he give it up?

He was ready to move on and build another car. By the time I met Mike the car was for sale on ebay and about to be sold to a guy in the Phillipines. He told me what he was asking...the going price for a GT-500...so I knew what a steal it was...all that extra hp and a 10K paint job for free basically. He didn't really want to export the car so he was happy to sell it to me. Now he gets to see it all the time, work on it, drive it and he recently asked to have the 1st option to buy it back whenever I do decide to sell it.

If you're interested here's a link to the Shelby's garage which has a list of the mods I am aware of...

Everyone who looks at the engine bay...including the guys with the Ford Performance division that saw it at a show said it was an incredible build. I just got really lucky...so that makes me a WINNER!
