    Bought a truck from shelby 2014..I drove it 6000 miles and the motor went bad..needed a overhaul. .shelby promised he go half way if the truck didn't get 30,000 miles on it before any major troubles. .shelby is honest and he went half way on the infra me motor rebuild. .I just payed 5000..but now shelby must rebuild all motors on his trucks for sale..before he sells them..or his financial companies won't deal with him any longer. ...make sure you know what your looking for when you pop any of the hoods on shelby trucks..if low oil pressure. .or no anti freeze. .run away as fast as you can

    I bought a truck from shelby in June 2014..made him promise to go half way if the truck didn't get me 20,000 miles ..it turned out the truck run good for the 1st 6000 miles then I had to get the motor in framed rebuilt ..shelby held up to his promise and payed half the rebuild..but after that..I put another 40,000 in the wore out piece of crap

    I'd buy another truck from shelby anytime. .but it will be a eye popping large car!

    Need to be in the o/o section. Company drivers are going to have a clue who Shelby is.

    Well then it looks like you will be a fine customer for Shelby....
    But as far as any other customers, well maybe not so much ....
    So the good news is you will have plenty to trucks to choose from ..... Good luck Shelby

    And you would buy ANOTHER truck from him? $45,000 plus the purchase price..in a "wore out piece of crap"

    Hardly a ringing endorsement.
     
    Lonesome and Klleetrucking Thank this.

    I've bought several trucks from Shelby and he has stood 100% on his word and the last one I bought from his daughter and she is as straight forward as her father was. The man sells used trucks he has no way of knowing everything about them but I know they do try to replace and fix anything they find wrong and if your worried about the mileage on them ask for a rebuild as part of the deal. That's what I've always done and have been very happy with what I've bought

    Here's my opinion about used trucks that you don't know about the previous history, or the previous owner... if you can't afford new, you DARN SURE can't afford used!!!
