The "Shelby" autograph on the Autokraft plate is a joke, isn't it? Last time when this car was offered at ebay it had a radio at that place. Is the car more worth without a radio but with a Shelby autograph [:)]

Someone noticed besides me, I thought I was imagining it. Perhaps the autograph lends value...it certainly does not denote a better product. As T.L. and others have observed, the BA AutoKraft cars were superior to the original AC's in construction (weldment) fit and finish.

You´re right, Jim, that´s why the AutoKraft´s money for value is unique!

OK OK don't PUPU the price because of Mr. Shelby's signature. If it were not for him, I would still be driving my Morgan and thinking I was bad. I hope everyone always gets their price for their car. Oh and by the way, I took the stereo out of my MKIV also.[:)]

[jbottini]

took the stereo out of mine as well, the "cubby" is fine for sunglasses, cell phone and EZPass

Mine never had a stereo to take out ...and the little Autokraft blocking plate looks just great where it belongs!

[AK1131]

When I removed the radio, I did not have a cover. Fortunately I found one on this forum. MKIV (Mr.Muck) had an extra one in tan. My interior is blue so I had is stained at a local shop. Probably the last one available. Thanks again MKIV.

This car seems to be a similar investment to the shares I hold, Its dropped $10K in a week! If it follows a similar pattern it'll be real cheap in a couple of months! [:(]

But you can't take the shares for a drive and get the smile back on your face!!!

[REV]

Thats so true...... But they did used to help put some gas in the tank! Its no where near as much fun sat in the garage going "vrmmmm vrmmmm"!

Ooops 1023 - too much information!  (I had heard rumours....)
   
   Still, if you can't afford to start the engine, the carbon monoxide can't get you :-)

[REV]

Trevor, does that make me a bad person????? The one and only Cobra owning eco warrior!!!!
   
   I do however need to practice my "Vrmmmmmm Vrmmmmmmm!" as I can't quite get the deep growly notes right as yet, but given time.
   
   It does have some real plus points you may not have considered, you can drive like this with a glass of wine in your hand! [:D]

[TLegate]

Knowing the kind of 'leadership' we are currently 'blessed' with, that'll soon be illegal as well! Just suggesting you sit in your car, safe in your garage, wine in hand, will fall foul of the thought police, as Mr.Clarkson will tell you.
   
   BTW, it wasn't me, I didn't type that......

[REV]

Leadership?????????? errrr.... Have you been drinking Trevor?
