A Look Back At The Amazing Ron Pratte Car Collection
1969 Shelby GT500 Convertible – Carroll Shelby personal
The July 2001 issue of Mustang Monthly listed this car as the number-one car on their “Top 10 Dream Cars” to own. This 1960s Shelby Cobra Mustang was owned by Carroll Shelby since new, and he owned it for more than three decades. A 5-year concours rotisserie restoration by nationally known Shelby restorer Jim Cowles completed in September 2007. Carroll Shelby owned only one other Shelby from the 1960s since new, and that is the first Shelby AC Cobra, CSX2000.
