Yeah, it is expected to be delivered to the house sometime next week. Not sure if I am going to put it in the garage of just cover it outside for a while.

These things happen during equity bubbles. It's all part of the "master plan." Watch as all collector car market values drop over the next 5-10 years, as housing prices lead the way down.
Off topic? I don't think so :+

You gonna keep it stock? Personally I think it'd look a lot better with a fiberglass wing and some underbody neon...

There were only 2 of those cars built. One was Shelbys personal car and the other was built for Bill Cosby. Cosby sold his to some other gu who was killed in the car destroying it in the accident. That car retailed for $7500 in 66. One of a kind and I know it will probably never be driven again.
The guy who bought it was the same guy who bought to 07 Shelby GT VIN 001 for $600k which included VIN 002 for MSRP (37k). Im not sure if VIN 001 is worth $540K more than its window sticker price. lol. Ill wait 3 months and buy one from the local ford dealership. lol.

Is it bad that when I opened the pic I though, they have too much pressure in the rear tires?
I will have one of these some day, and I don't give a fuck if it's fiberglass cuz I can't afford $5M+.
PS
I wonder how those vacuum secondary carbs work with the FI. At any rate, I may be making a trip to the bathroom to relieve some pressure...
