But, you are correct, in that now because of these auctions that every Mom and Pop that has one sittin' in their barn thinks it's worth a fortune.
I have to agree this is one great car show.The real market value of a 2007 Shelbygt500 is around $36,000.00.Just tell your friend to drive and enjoy his Shelby!
