It's getting old fast.

Things I don't need "holy grail" or "barn find"

Of which it was neither. But it is a Shelby Mustang and relevant to the hobby for what it's worth.

+1 ... I got about 7 or 8 minutes into this video yesterday before I decided not to waste any more of my time of yet another D/C "holy grail" fairytale. ::)

I like he is already saying he has a supercharged 67 GT 350.

Is there any doubt that will be at auction?

I watched the video a few times before this posting and thought about the following. The car was an early build so it did not have tilt steering.  My question is, Dennis says because the car does not have tilt steering this will detract from his offer. Would this really reduce the value of the car?

No. He seems confuse about a lot of things in the video. He incorrectly identifies the GT500 Hertz fastback as "502" (that is incorrect) to start with...I guess if you are going to hunt for holy grail cars, you should know the numbers.

Its a negotiating tactic at best, this car was on eBay just a few years ago.

He also suggests they were trying to copy the only GT500 Hertz car. First, most people don't even know that car existed, second it was neither black nor had GT500H stripes to the best of my knowledge
