In 1971 the Shelby Europa had a 351c engine

🤔 you bring me to an idea, I’ve got a super coupe engine laying around 😬

 “It's a long shot but almost sounds like your car is a Shelby Europa. Need to order the Marti Report from Marti Auto Works. Pics would help a lot too. Ray“ There is only 1 Shelby Europa with a 429, it’s a fastback not a convertible.

Thanks!

Good write up Rauno! Perhaps you could post some nice pics of your cars, you have the best pictures of these rare cars as yours are the closest to original at this moment.

Wow, glad someone saved this! Is there anything in these books for 70-71 Shelby for the Cleveland engine’s?

And me. :)

100% agreed on this Mike!

Only 2 convertibles and 7 fastbacks were made in 71 only. I see more replicas pop up lately.
