[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 882410, member: 55399"] Not 1/4 mile runs, but road racing. Shelby built these GT350's mainly to kick the Corvette's butt in road racing in the '60's. And after this owner bought it new, he used to drive from Central IL up to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and race it. He did that quite often 'til about 1970. Then he stopped racing and started to baby it a little more. And funny that you mention insurance... When he bought it, in order to get approved for financing, the bank made him take out a life insurance policy!:blink: He's still got the policy paperwork stapled to the original sales contract. He's actually a friend of Chuck's. (GT350 owner). And the bald guy had his '67 GT500 parked next to Chuck's GT350. [/QUOTE]
