Description for Shelby 427 S/C 1965

To start with, et me first say that this is not my Shelby but I am auctioning it here on eBay for a good friend who sells muscle and classic cars. If you want additional information above and beyond what is in my ad, lease call Roland at 603-361-3693.

I also understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, or the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, feel that there is never too much information.

As to myself, am just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and have worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, lease check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,130) transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, ngland, rance, witzerland and Australia.
