Would seem there should/would be pinch weld black overspray on the underside floor-pan ??

You posed your question as a suspicion ;) but I know you know otherwise. LOL
And it looks like the judges missed that too.

Thanks Bob, I suspected it was just an oversight on the part of the judges - like that's never happened before :-0, as it wasn't noted on the judging sheets, but didn't want to assume.
outstanding
Nice 65 ! should bring a good price for the seller :)
If you look closely at the pictures it does have black pinch weld overspray...albeit probably less than ive typically seen on unrestored 65s.
After looking closely at the oversprays what it is actually missing is the blue rocker stripe overspray...though few restorations generally replicate as much blue overspray as there typically actually was.
This particular car has been for sale on and off for the last year.
Kind regards,
Vern
Thanks Vern, so am I to conclude it has never had an offer the owner wanted to accept yet?

OK, the images I looked at (194, 203,205,207,208,209, 210 - didn't show it) others do - my fault for not looking at all the images, and why it's not deducted on the judging sheets.

Agreed its "there" but would have commented about the application for a couple of reasons. Of course would not make a difference (just this) in the award it received.
Overall everyone misses something and no one knows the car (its condition at the time) than the builder :)
There were something like 7 '65 GT350's to judge at Sonoma that convention. This may have been the last one judged that day and most everyone had left the track by that time. Also, consider judging on hot black asphalt... not ideal. We earned our hats! :) :)

Yes you did!!! Always could be worst or better judges normally get little choice of the situation.
I wonder if this is one of them. As a 16 year old kid we would hit Tasca every now an then . Those were the days.

If one of those two are it, not sure why they wouldn't put Cragar's back on it.

Those three Shelbys in the picture appear to be 66's not the 65 the thread is about. Notice the quarter windows and the side scoops.
sorry about the HUGE pic. I think they were 65's. No glass rear quarter windows. 65 rims. Unless I am having a senior moment.

Ok this was taken the same day (both blk an white) of the Tasca Race car. Thinking here my buddy that went with me took pics to. Let me see if he stills has them. Poor guy never had a Shelby.

You can see quarter window plexi on each car indicating 66's

"65 rims" ? Those are Cragars which came on early 66's and notice the side scoops. Windows are a bit difficult to see on all due to the angle and the sun glare but they are there ;)
There is a 65 to far left.
Could be a regular Mustang, I do not see the tach and oil pressure pod.
Not sure if this helps any...adjusted (lightened) and then the negative to compare...
This car was sold here some years back. https://performancemotorsofhanover.com/sold-showcase-3/1965-shelby-gt-350-5s149/

Why were the Braces for the Louvers removed? Are installing the 66 Windows or Replacing the Braces? If Replacing them, where do you get them from, I have a friend who needs a pair.
Anyone want to venture a guess at what price this will end up, and if it will sell?
I think its a safe bet its going to be north of $450k
I agree, right up there in '63 Z06 tanker territory, but I think $450K will not buy it, maybe $550K?
I think this car should go for north of $500K. The buyer would be "safe" at that level as cars of this quality have done nothing but go up in value, more than keeping up with other "blue chip" cars.
Auction (text) states car was restored by Tony Conover. I've known Tony for many decades. Great guy with a super eye to detail - This car should do very well
For the record - this car was bid to $405K and did not meet reserve.
NO SALE
Yes, I figured it would have to be very close to $500K. I need to buy one someday soon.
