1969 Shelby production yielded 2624 sportsroofs and 529 convertibles. A little more than 10%, but certainly not a dime-a-dozen.

"one of the 335 convertibles out of total 1969-1970 production,"
So, I saw 335 convertibles and saw a total of 3300 Shelbys made, hence my 10% figure.

You ought to latch on to that '57 Chevy if the guy is selling at a decent price. That is most likely the first thing most folks think of when mentioning "Classic" cars. Especially if it is a Belair with the 283 engine.

Actually all 70 Shelbys started life as 69's, there were unsold 69's left over so they were revinned and sold as 70's.

I only buy rust-free cars, and that one has been sitting out in the yard, uncovered, for well over a year that I know of. Between the snow and rain, it has to be a real mess, never mind the cows and goats and other animals roaming around there

That 57 would be worth a gazillion if it was restored to original condition.

Ah, where is your spirit of adventure? That 57 would be worth a gazillion if it was restored to original condition.

I'd be too far gone to enjoy it after restoration
((I did look at a '55 Chevy -- locally -- as that is what I want someday but cars from this area are full of rust from the salt on the road)

(Interesting to learn about the 800 leftover 1969 models, the FBI intervening, etc)
