Shelby's car and one of two. I liked how he bragged about getting pulled over for going 190 in NV. That's what happened to the other one. The guy bought it from Bill Cosby and turned himself into canned spam. ------Original Message------ From: sammie smith Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Jan 20, 2007 8:02 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: $55,000 If I had just bought that Shelby Cobra in 66!

It was you that got Kirk and I start watching the auction on the SPEED channel, and we actually enjoyed it. There was a car on there the other night that sold last year for $50k+ less than it did last year with less than 200 miles added to it. If any of us finish a great restoration of our own and want to maximize our return, we'd be stupid not to auction it at BJ, like it or not. And you're right, most of the really special Buses change hands very silently. Our hobby has changed and will continue to do so because our quirky obscure T2s have somehow become more mainstream. Many others have finally figured out what we have known for a long time.....Buses are cool. You and I will always find good deals if we want then; if only there were more space, money, and time.
