1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: 1968 Shelby center console...

Last post by shelbymann1970 - Today at 07:11:59 AM

I know this is an old post but would be helpful to see a pic of the underside of console lid that screws to the console plate. Is the vinyl stapled or glued on?I'm having my lid cover restored, so I bought a reproduction from Branda in the interim and seems like it's missing padding material.

If you wait a few days I'll have an original untouched console from a late Jan car I can see.

Parts For Sale / Re: 1969-70 NOS Parts on CL

Hi
What do you think the value of all the parts are worth
Seeing if it variable to do a package deal

You would need to know what all was included. Given he wrote too much to list you can only assume that there is more then in the pictures.

It basically all the pieces in the pictures plus a couple of emblems and a damage fender
He is flipping the parts for profit

Damn right flipping. If you can find the original seller in Wisconsin I hear he has more parts. The guy hoarded spare parts for his 69 Shelby and sold the car. Then sold Grant the parts. I could have seen all the parts last Monday but chose not to go as too busy to waste my time at the moment because of his weird way of selling.

There is more. I talked to a friend(well known SAAC guy) on Saturday at the Spring fling and he offered him top dollar for a pair of 70 NOS doors in the box and the guy said he wanted more than double that.

Exactly , how does one know if he really has a bidder or not? Cool parts but dumb game to play. If you want to auction it put it on eBay. Out side of that no price , so its fishing...

The guy is too cheap to pay the ebay fees plus the 1099 I'd bet he would get.  I told him last week just auction them off. When he told me I could have the parts IF I was the high bidder it just didn't sit well with me. He isn't a man of his word so are the bids real? Take the eye brow moldings. A well known restorer has a set on social media for 1500 that a friend in France wants but shipping is a problem. So with a set out there for a while at 1500 he was offered 2K for a set? Could be. I was at Mecum and the 69-70 Shelbys didn't do well on Friday.

FWIW I was SUPPOSED to have first crack on these parts. Obviously that wasn't the case. I sold the guy some parts on an agreement I'd have first crack. I'm still living and learning in life...Parts came from a guy who had a 69 Shelby in Wisconsin and sold it. The next owner didn't want the spare parts. The owner has a 70 Mustang he is doing(Grant helped him out on an issue hence offered the parts so he drove to Wisconsin) and we believe he still has some NOS parts as the seller of these parts didn't bring enough money to buy all the parts. Happy hunting.

I agree, off shore pos parts causing stupid comebacks constantly. Turning 8o+ flat rate hours/wk in the 80s-90s was typical. Whole different ballgame these days.
