Then fire up the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-Mustang-Shelby-Retrobuilt-to-1969-Shelby_W0QQitemZ190332933166QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item2c50ba142e&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245">eBay</a> and check out what Retrobuilt has wrought.<br /><br />What you see is not a 1969 Shelby fully restored to better-than-new condition. Nor is it a 1969 Mustang Fastback retromodded to look like said Shelby. The car you see is listed on eBay as a 2007 Shelby Mustang GT 350 custom-made by Retrobuilt to fool most casual observers into thinking the car is 33 years older than it is.<br /><br />The auction description says the car is a prototype created by the company used to produce molds for fiberglass kits for aftermarket customizers. As the car has been built as a prototype, this coupe's doors are metal, as are the fins over the back glass. Front fenders, hood, quarter panels and trunk lid are all rendered in hand-laid fiberglass. The door handles are 1969 repros and the bumpers are triple-chromed steel. The rear wing is a factory-correct 1969 wing stretched four inches to fit the 2007's wider stance.<br /><br />Barring some slightly wonky proportions, it's certainly a loyal interpretation of the original, and with a current bid of under $30,000, possibly an interesting bargain.
