I have run into people with nice classic vehicles that they let go to pieces and will not sell unless they get some absurd price.

The only thing they can really do is restore it to the original build sheet. Anything other than that is speculation unless they can have verified records from Shelby. If Carroll Shelby was still alive then he could attest to some configuration or other.

Right now it looks like junk but Jackson has access to serious cash and the top restoration people in the country. Time is money for him...

Shelby put real meaning into

I always thought it was:

Found
On
Road
Dead

Can someone explain why all nice classic muscle cars/hot rods NEVER have A/C? What's with that? I want to drive in the summer too! Who wants a nice looking sweat box?

This is ha prevents me from buying one...

If you use percent it will work on every device. For instance height=”60%” . . .

A/C saps horsepower

Turn it off! LOL. I want the option! How many old men( most owners I see anyway ) actually drag race anyway. They drive them on weekends ....

[Fireone]

Don’t tell that to folks who bought and held Porsches from the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s. They might laugh at you.

[stevio]

LOL! Exactly.

Had an uncle who had a car like that-either a Falcon or a Valiant-60's car in original shape. Ran well. I begged for it, offered to buy it-but he chose to let it rot in a garage.White car,shiny red interior-what a waste.
Wanted a Pacer too- still do- no matter what people say about them!

My best friend in high school had a 1965 yellow Mustang convertible. It had a white top. We had a blast in it for years and then her dad (a car salesman) sold it and bought her a purple Challenger. Must’ve been a 71 or so.

[wally_bert]

There is always a classic jeep.

I’ve about given up on getting the ac on my K5 Blazer working. It’ll probably come off.

[central_va]

As one gets older you can go one of two ways: You start to hoard and clutch on to material things or you start ditching/selling everything and unburdening yourself. I think I fall in the latter category. It’s all junk in the end.

[central_va]

Unless you live above 40⁰ N. Lat. a car without A/C is worthless to me.

Cosby’s “200 m.p.h.” bit where Carroll Shelby presents him with a Cobra Mustang while lecturing him about driving foreign cars was a real hoot. I thought it was fiction.

All the technicians in the sketch were named “Bob”.

[wally_bert]

I’m addicted to AC too.

As a farm kid, I used to have a good heat tolerance.

I say the same thing about tractors. My Dad’s 4020 John Deere still goes strong at 49 years. Granted it does not get used every day. However, the ones today plastic and computer and expensive, we won’t even see them in 25 years.

[central_va]

I’ve noticed some restored Pontiacs seem to have A/C.

[ealgeone]

No...the point is a valid one. That "treasure" of a car is worthless in its present state.

It's a good illustration that what was once valued is now potentially wasted.
