Yes Doug thats true its the same with other models like porsche gt2rs, gt3rs etc. I dont care that much about it. I know my rides and I know how special they are. After 25 years in business I have seen a lot and maybe I see things different after I learned so much. I think at the end of the day we are all a bit different and so is the market.

Oh sorry you are correct it was in Euros I missed that as BaT is a $ company for me. I hope the bidder was aware of that when bidding    with the exchange rate it sold all together for 270.000$ thats a lot. And shelbydoug I really like your storys and how you write about it and its definitely true and I´m on your side but beside that I just looked at the pictures of this GT500 on BaT and in my opinion the price was way to high and now its even more with the exchange rate. I have seen much better Shelby´s in the last months for less money. And yes the 427 Cobras are expensive but there is a reason why and I´m sure that the GT500/350 also will climb.

It has sold for 236.000$ + 5% BaT Fee´s some people have no idea what they are doing. Just my 2 cents.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I´m speechless and trying to find words to explain how much Dave and his wife helped me in the last 25 years. We both often written letters in the beginning and later then e-mails he was an awesome guy and he really loved his family and his hobby. His knowledge and helping hand is something I will absolutely miss and also just talking or writing with him about other things.

Godspeed Dave.

Condolences to the Family.

No I´m not able to see the pictures.

Thanks to Jeff and Bob, Jeff did you attached pictures as I cant see them. I also think one seat (right) is a earlier or very early and te right one is a later one. I do have both versions as a set. I also need to take a look under the seats of my GT500 67 as its a very late build.

I just uploaded them again. Thanks Bob.

more pics left one should be original, right one is maybe newer (fomoco?) upholstery

My 67 GT500 has the smooth deluxe seats ( I know this is rare) and I have 2 sets of seats here and I wonder if both are original because there are some differences. The left one is an original in my opinion but is the right one also correct or maybe a later ford part or just a good repro?

Sorry my english is maybe messing it up. I´m talking about the part number on the yoke of the driveshaft. On the tube of the driveshaft there is nothing just some weights. Here are some pictures.And the othere one just has the dot in the middle and maybe under the dirt there is also something but its installed. I can barely see the ford logo under the dirt.

Someone here maybe got some pictures of the area of the yoke where the part number is and the date? I have 2 driveshafts here where one is 100% from a 1967 GT500 and one is installed in a GT500 but from what I see so far it has just the dot in the center of the driveshaft yoke and the ford oval. Maybe its just dirty and there is a part number also and a date not sure yet as the installed yokes are hiding it maybe.

Can someone here post the correct head as I have seen 3 different styles including the SEMS snd the one with the E on the head I think these are also SEMS

When do we have a chance to get these signed by both authors?

Maybe difficult but worth a try. I will try to get a deal with some of the shippers in the port who are shipping my cars.
