not mine....
"Offered here today is a 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback showing just 77,000 miles on it. The exterior is clad in highly attractive Nightmist Blue paint, which further accentuates the formidable overall look of this GT500. Combine this with racing stripes and the factory Shelby 10-spoke wheels, and it becomes very obvious that this car means business. Looking at the interior of the car will reveal the all original black vinyl upholstery and carpeting. It is a well-known fact that Shelby cars were not known for being heavily optioned, however this GT500 is equipped with power steering and power brakes as well as a functioning factory AM radio. Other features include a fold-down rear seat, an all original roll bar, and factory-installed shoulder harnesses. This car even retains its original Shelby VIN plate, numbered at 2798."
No photos of the engine, chassis, or VIN tag (noted as original). No Marti report or other documents noted either.
They didn't have any problem listing the Ford VIN???
I guess they don't have a good understanding of the Shelby market.

These are the same guys had a 65 for sale and used pics of another car.
Unfortunately lost on our old site (the discussion about it).
Thought that I found another CA black plate, but this car was shipped to Dockery Ford - Morristown, NJ on 6/21/67.
Oh well, still looking for the real thing.....
Ford VIN in text does not look complete.
The mildew on the back seat is not a good sign.
Check out the bright gold paint inside the trunk on the wheel wells...WOW!

Yes, what's with that??
I own the car and WW has completely destroyed the copy. I swear they have the biggest idiots who can't even copy and paste the detailed info. So here's the info. I will post additional photos as requested, including the original vin tag. Out of long time retirement
1) Original engine and trans (date coded)
2) The car is originally lime gold; now night mist blue with white stripes. The paint job is a horrible late 70s respray
3) Complete colonoscopy/verification and tuneup via Steve Beck.
4) 5 original 10 spokes
5) CA black plates currently; I live in Los Angeles
6) Added aux fuel pump
7) Wrong, old tires
8) Traction bars
9) Many SAAC entrances on the east coast
10) Clean black vinyl interior - no mold
11) New radiator (Had to replace the original date coded one)
12) Original glass, radio (works), seatbelts, etc
It's a hell of a driver, I'm contemplating driving it to Monterey.
Post questions or email me: jay@melcoproperties.com
I use to own this 67 a couple years ago....
It's in nice driver condition with pretty good integrity.
The next owner could use it for years without any worries....

You can't use Armoral on the interior. All it is, is mildew in a spray bottle. Maybe it will work in Death Valley though if the glass doesn't blow out of the car from thermal expansion?
Hi Jay,
I didn't know this was a SAAC forum members car. We all would be more careful in posting comments if that was known.
Good to hear your GT500 has the original engine and 4spd trans. That should get some attention.
If you could post of photo of the VIN tag that would be great! I assume it has a "Z" stamp in front of the VIN.
Do you have a Marti report or other documents. Those are always welcomed to see in a sales ad / auction.
Here's the link to Bret's listing photo's from a few years ago.

Notice the rear seat is folded down.
ShelbyDoug,
It's only 127 degrees in Death Valley...it's a dry heat as the locals say.
Hopefully most people know Armoral is not a good product to use on vinyl/rubber.
We're told it dries them out instead of moisturizing them...and specifically do NOT use on tires!

You can actually grow mushrooms out of it. Did you know that it was invented by Hurst? The Hurst shifter guy?
Jay, were those stickers on the passenger window when you bought it? Seems I've seen them somewhere else...

. Those ca. Black plates would not be correct letters for original 1967 plates....

Are you keeping track of black plate cars? I have one. Still have one of the original plates too
Yes I am creating a data base of confirmed first issue plates for 1963-1970 Cobras and Shelby Mustangs. Not just California, but all states are going to be included.
Anyone with information, please let me know.
By the way, does anyone know what 1965 GT350 carried the plates RNZ 364. I have a picture of the car taken at a car Show at the Reedley College (Reedley, CA) in about 1982. It was a local car to the area at that time.
Thanks,
Dennis
Is 6S 409 in your data base?
I do not gave 6S409 in the Data Base currently. Can you provide the information and verification?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hey Rich, no need to apologize! In fact I prefer the criticism; both positive and negative. I'm not out to screw anybody and this site is a wealth of knowledge. So anything people point out that is wrong I will try to correct. Like I said, this is anything but a perfect car. Like Brett said, "a great driver!" And it sure is. About the only thing the car needs is new tires. I really am contemplating on driving it to Monterey as it's only about 250 miles. I took my 55 Porsche speedster about 5 years back. After watching a few of the other cars bring big $, it seems these cars are heating up. Guess we'll see soon enough. Can anybody post picts if I send them? I can't seem to get the attachments to upload
PM sent...with a few negatives noted.
Here's some positives;
-It's a factory 4 speed GT500
-It has the correct outboard grille lights (not replaced by the inboards as found on many later built cars.)
-It's painted Nightmist Blue...a very popular color these days
Thanks Rich! Vin plate and rear seat picts coming!
Posting photos for Jay of the original VIN tag (Z stamp) and a nicer photo of the rear seat. (NO mildew)
Anyone know the result of this auction? Thanks

Out of respect for our forum members I believe we should not be nitpicking their cars, for sale or not.
No-saled with the all the other Shelby Mustangs. Please pick away. The car is anything but perfect- I know it and so does everybody else. Then again it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the ones asking $300- $400. Everybody wants something for nothing. It is what is it. I never represented it as a perfect car. All facts, opinions are greatly appreciated. Heck, I might throw a $30k paint job on it (Insane I know) and then ask $300+ like the others

. Yeah but the flip side of that is that that is how you learn what's not correct IMHO

Sure we can learn from constructive criticism, but just not each others cars unless asked. No sense in getting anyone upset here in the forum community. In this case, the comments are welcomed by the owner.
