15modracer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 We were at a show basically in the middle of nowhere Kansas yesterday and got a total surprise! As I was cleaning on Shelly I look up and see a Terlingua Shelby come pulling in.....I told my wife that someone had made a copy of a Terlingua and it looked pretty kewl... As I finished my cleaning she went and talked to the guy to find out that not only was it the real deal, it was the #1 car!!!! After talking to the gentleman and hearing of the history of the car then seeing pics of the rest of his car collection I was totally in awe, not to mention envious!!! My lil Shelly and the Terlingua were in the same class which was 2000 and above all makes and there were a lot of really nice cars.. There was a 2004 LS1 corvette setting next to us that I figured sure to be the winner and after watching the judges spend the time they did on the vette and knowing that the Terlingua car was there along with other vettes, roushes, camaroes etc I told my wife we had no chance!!! It was another total surprise when we won the class, but that took back seat to see the #1 Terlingua car and get to talk to the gentleman that owned it!!

NordicShelby Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Your paint job is one the best I have ever seen. If I ever need a car painted I am having you paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

15modracer Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yes Jeff, the car is about 60 miles from me! Good to hear from you Nordic. Did you make it to Tulsa this year? We were in Denver for an insurance class so we couldn't make it but saw a lot of posts on facebook......I appreciate the compliments on the paint and yes 0471 I did paint it, Shelly was a total I bought out of the salvage pool.....Thanks again guys, hope ya'll have a great day!!!

AstroDan Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really cool! I think I saw that Terlingua in Vegas when I picked Betsy up from the SC conversion. I was sitting next to a dusty GT 500 that was actually 10SS0001C. I have pics somewhere at home and will post up if anyone's interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
