I realize that this may sound kinda melodramatic, but WE can and WILL call the shots on several aspects of the GT/CS--it's history, values, authenticity, and how they are restored. We'll do this collectively by our associations and connections (hmmm....that sounds "a little too Coppola")...well anyway..
Having this oversight, and a vigilant one at that, will preserve the GT/CS for many years to come.
We--as a group here, actually CARE about these things, and we can control it. We're in a really good place in the Mustang and Shelby worlds, and we've earned the respect we deserve.
But-- like I said, it sounds melodramatic, but I Don's passion is what drives me and many others to do it right.
And, yes...it's IS all about money. Too bad I didn't get a research compensation on this particular Little Red....but, you know, if anyone wants to make their own replica, they'll be able to from my book.
