Found My Shelby GT500

I purchased a Shelby GT500 from the original owner in 1971.  It was a beast, way more horsepower than advertised.  Due to divorce, I sold the car to someone locally in 1987 and give my wife half the money.  It was one of the worst days of my life; sometimes you have to pay the price.  The third owner raced the car for a few years and then sold the car to someone in the Woodlands.  The fourth owner has restored the car to better than original, although I don't like the color, Britiany Blue.  It was in the Shelby show here in Dallas in June of this year.  The darker color blue is the color the car was when I owned it.  It had white racing stripes which weren't on the car originally.  See pics below:
