Anyone watch Pawn Stars?

Its on the History channel, a guy, his dad and his son run a pawn shop in Vegas. Last night this guy drives up with a rollback tow truck with a Shelby body sitting on a couple wooden pallets. Bare aluminum. Says some people that own a storage place PAID HIM to haul it away.... The guy claims its a "real" Shelby. The guys at the pawn shop arent sure if its real so they end up at some guys shop to verify its authenticity. They seem to do this with a lot of stuff, the call in a "buddy" to check things out. In most cases the item ends up being worth more than the people were looking to get, and they then almost always want what the "expert" says the item is worth. Anyway, back to the Cobra.... they met up at some guys shop and he opens the hood and on the frame you can see the CSX stamp, but no other number, just the CSX. This may have been on purpose. The "expert" tells them the body is worth about $60k, they end up buying the shell for $30K and dump another $80k into the car. It looked pretty nice when the finished it, but they seemed to have kinda skimped on a few things.
 
I watch the show from time to time but I missed last night. I was in the garage pulling out my under dash harness...
 
I watched a couple of episodes the past weekend ( old gas pump/confederate money/indian totem).
First time I've seen the show. Always interesting to see what some people think some things are worth.
 
I was watching that one last night.
The tow truck guy got one hell of deal. Free cobra and $30k for nothing.
 
I saw it for the first time last night. Reminded me of a cross between American Chopper and Traveling RoadShow!

As for an all aluminum Shelby...I presume this is an AC Cobra and not a Mustang Shelby?
 
I saw the show. I believe that it was just a new CSX Cobra from Shelby Automotive. The show tried to make you to believe that that it was a vintage Shelby
