A Shelby only a Mother could love..

[DonChristie]

and me! I got this Wishbone frame Shelby Rex from a buddy who was not doing anything with it. I thought it looked pretty cool as it sat! I regreased everything, slid on some jewel grips and a mismatched pair of old tires and away I went! She rides pretty good and the steel seat is kinda comfy. She just has an ugly mean look that I kind of dig!

Anyone know what year she is? Did this style frame ever have a tank? Anyone have literature from this bike?

Thanks for any info!
