[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 882397, member: 55399"] Last summer I posted about becoming reacquainted with this man and his GT350. I saw him again last weekend at a car show and was able to get some pictures of him and his unrestored, 41,000 mile GT350. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: 71 years old, and he still occasionally opens the Shelby up to over 140mph! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: It's not rolled over, that's actually [b]41,192[/b] miles! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Chuck jokes about how folks criticize him at shows for having a dirty engine. He just informs them that it's 45-year old original dirt! The only things he's done to this car in 45 years are usual maintenance stuff like tires, battery, tune-ups, etc. The engine is solid and runs like the champ that she is! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: No radio, no A/C, all business. Built to race! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: When building these cars, Shelby American removed the rear seat to save weight. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Check out the shine on the original paint! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
