Well the dream is fulfilled and my GT will be on it's way home in a few days. I'm at that age where I see friends younger than me dying of cancer and other causes just when they should be really enjoying life. I'm not waiting.
Another GT owner I met told me about Shelby at Elite so I started researching and could only find good things said about him. It's usually easy to find bad stuff on the internet. Well not in this case. Everything I read was good! I spoke with Shelby back in November, e-mailed him as to what I was interested in, and waited, and waited, and waited. Two weeks ago I emailed again just to see if anything came up and he called right away and had the car I was looking for coming in.
I made a promise to myself that I was not going to spend this kind of money and trust anyone with a condition report- I was going to see it myself. So a buddy and I got in an airplane and flew to Jonesboro. Shelby was waiting there to pick us up. We went to his meticulous location and the car was everything he described. I'll take it!!
Everything I read and was told about Elite Motors and Shelby was right on. Let's face it, they are in business to make money, but at the same time you feel that you are getting a fair deal and a solid car.
An interesting sidenote is Shelby's dad and business partner just bought a house in my town, literally a few blocks away from me. Looks like I'll be seeing Jimmie and Shelby more than just this one time!! You never know who you are going to meet- it's a small world.
Here's the pics!
