From MY point of view a nice replica
Not more
And the seller did buy the car at the end...

Re: Shelby's 'show chassis' is up for auction
the chassis had a life as a HotRod since the late sixties, since then it was LHD
Re: Shelby's 'show chassis' is up for auction
I suspect that had the complete car started life in Thames Ditton then it may well have reached its target price but regardless of the controversy over the auction it’s not worth big money.
Very nice but not an original.
It is clearly a copy as another body building company created the shell.
Provenance is everything when expecting high values.

Is £395k low for this? It has no racing history.
There was also replica 289 (I think) chassis on ebay last week. Looked like an interesting project for someone - seems to have gone now.

Re: Shelby's 'show chassis' is up for auction
I went to see it last night. Looks pretty good and still available. No idea of how good a copy it it but apparently there were 2 built alongside each other and the other one is driving around and road legal.
