I saw this today.  Evidently it is the first one of 67 to be built by Ford.

Www.ModaMiami.com this weekend.

Think Amelia Island and Pebble beach quality show and auction but in suburb of Miami.  The event is 2 miles from me.

Either to replicate the look of the original MKIIs or some buyers will actuall drive them on race tracks.  Most will probably just be added to a collection somewhere.  Here is the list if Shelbys at the show.

Taking centre stage, and running down the length of the Biltmore Golf Course’s 18th fairway is our ‘Shelby 101’ tribute. Laid out on a special race circuit grid you’ll find a line-up of significant Shelbys and rare cars with a Shelby history.

I will be at the ModaMiami show as a spectator.  About a mile down the road the same weekend is a AACA show which my 72Mach1 will be in.

Rats V - i should have snuck back over to the Biltmore before i left town - that Mark IV looks rather nice …  that lovely Silver British tourer that I was drooling over is a 1935 SS - pre-Jaguar - Airline Saloon - one of 16 survivors -

I think it’s really cool that the first Mark IV Tribute is dressed in white and dark blue - i’ll order mine with a flat blue bonett - that OK ?
