I believe the car is usually displayed in the Shelby Museum in Las Vegas. it is there right now, and it is beautiful. Gary told me a couple years ago that it had been in his wife's family since new. Sounds like she'd be the perfect wife!

If you watch the video I posted above you will see Sarah's dad purchased the car out of Texas in 1999. She used to live by me in the Detroit area  until she met Gary from what I have been told. I never met her.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-IZ_2CjSx0

I am looking for any information or leads on my late grandfather, Frank Martin. He was an employee in the 60s and worked with Paul Kunysz and Jack Khory. Thanks to all!

I'm sure some can help you here and Brian supplied some links. By any chance did your Grandfather have any pics he took back in the day? Thanks. Gary

The Florida salvage title lists it as "rebuildable". I don't think its a big deal considering its documented now.

The vendors retail value is laughable. I wonder what their reserve is?

does a rebuildable title requires a new state issued VIN?

I know in Tallahassee Florida, when I bought a Car from an Auction that said "Rebuildable", I had to take it to the DMV for an Inspection and when it passed, they put a Barcode Sticker under the Factory Sticker.

In Mi  the title will say salvage on it with no other numbers other than the VIN if it still has the original one on the car. It also states that these at auction a bidder must possess a dealer license to buy(?). So I wonder if Fla it is the same? https://www.michigan.gov/sos/-/media/Project/Websites/sos/01preston/Dealer_Manual_Chapter_5.pdf?rev=43836d1232814437bb4cb0833eeda376&hash=2C59D8323FCCF327670A5A580160174C#:~:text=a)%20For%20late%20model%20vehicles,the%20pre%2Ddamaged%20cash%20value.

You had to have a dealer license to bid in the auction. The car did not meet the reserve. The high bidder has a chance to meet the reserve or it will be relisted.

That's not really clear on their website. Look forward to seeing what happens.

It clearly states down below that you do not have to be a dealer and a comment from a customer says that he is very happy about being able to bid without being one. All but one picture are now gone, kinda interesting.

That is why I and others screen shot the pics. Posted in prior replies

I believe it was more in the high 60s

Thanks. I wasa away for a long meeting. Came back and it said 33,500. I refreshed the screen and got this "SOLD". Even in the 60s was a good buy I'd think.

Can you add more pics or do you want me to do it?

This is a thread for documenting the list of cars, but not each car in detail, I suggest starting a new thread with what is known, and the additional pictures so we do not take this thread beyond why I started it.

Thanks

Bill

here are some I saved.

Whats that box beside the added oil cooler in grill area lh front ?

Funny in that the prior owner can post a dozen times a day on nothing but cannot come on this topic and just answer some questions like yours.

He did answer with this              https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=b54nv46k60thkhd2ev03gm3ou1&topic=25751.msg190723#msg190723

MODIFIED Jan 23-yesterday. HMM, couldn't do this for the last 14 months? Thanks for bringing that to light but he still hasn't said what led to the fire which another poster asked. Only modified and added to his original post after it became another topic right here. I guess the question is why is that?  So to be clear Mr Tech he didn't answer the questions asked here and the one by Ed I quoted.

I never met Sarah but she was involved locally with the local Mustang club here in Detroit I believe  when she met Gary. I believe she married him and moved to Vegas?  She and Gary are back for Mustang events from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-IZ_2CjSx0

My thought is what did the owner have insurance wise? Did he under insure it? Many do. I harp on my friend who has his 71 HEMI Cuda under insured until this week(bringing it to a car show). But my friend has about 17 collector cars and a bunch are 6 figure cars. So say it was under insured at 80K. The insurance company says 75K to fix. Total it out and pay the insured. If this car was insured for 150-200K it wouldn't have been totaled out. Maybe the prior owner would want to chime in? Or maybe too embarrassed to admit it if he did. All I know is this car at what it could have been insured for it should be in all cases be fixed-unless it was under insured and running their numbers the insurance company would total it out.

Has anyone confirmed if the car has a salvage or clear title? Their assistant only answered that it was on the page. All I see is asterisks next to title. Update I created a profile and it came back as Salvage/rebuildable title. 

What is the correct snake emblem for the rear fenders on a 1969 GT350 convertible?  Is it the C9OZ-16228A adhesive-backed snake emblem that is typically listed on eBay?

Good question as I found out there are 2 snakes. 1 for the rear quarter on verts and a more flatter one for the roof. I made a "mold" for checking them and gave it to a friend who has a large ziplock bag filled with snake emblems from a guy who worked for the company that made them for Ford. I actually own both varieties of these snakes.
