I am in the process of verifying the information on one of the wheels that I have listed for sale.  As noted in the listing, in preparation for sale, I put together a detailed written description of each wheel w/ corresponding pics.  I'll report back as soon as the process is completed.  Thanks.

If you could pm me your email, I can send along a very detailed description w/ pics. for each wheel.  I have 2 used sets of caps (one better than the other) and I believe I may have 1 nos set.  Will follow up on that.  Thanks.

This is great stuff-thx.  Always wondered though, how many in each class are still alive.

Ah yes, the old right vs. wrong, correct vs. incorrect and factory correct vs. well, I'm not sure what.  True enough that a buyer, if they can afford it, gets what they get-knowingly or not.  It's their money.  Now, for the purist, looking at cars that may not be "right", "correct" or "factory correct" is like that itch you just can't scratch.  It can drive you nuts-especially when you see the price(s) they command.  That aside, I still find the comments and insights, for the most part, on point and helpful.  You just have to cut thru the bs.  There are factory publications, judging standards and very knowledgeable pp in place that tell us, show us and guide us as to what is believed to be "the way" these cars were built.  Some pay attention and care and some don't.  Some will say a non-matching number engine does not affect value and some feel otherwise.  Same thing with color, interior etc.  There is one thing, however, that I feel we should all care about or at the very least consider: the standards in place including the pp who have devoted their time and knowledge to document and share them, deserve our thanks.  Buyers can then decide what to do with it.  Perhaps a bit vauge and obtuse, but you get the point... 

All of this amounts to one very simple thing-you'd better make time to inspect if planning to bid.

Correction-almost 100k out the door.  I'll refrain from making any further comments on this C Code car...

Knowing that I'll get some push back on this-70k (or higher) hammer plus the fees is great for the seller but as a buyer/owner, imo, you're  so far upside down it's scary.  It's not a GT.  It's not a 4spd.  It's got a bunch of cool options that were not factory installed.  Better plan would have been to leave the car factory and then set the restoration in motion.  I'm sure it's pleasing to the eye but are you kidding me.  And, the room for appreciation going forward is as slim as it gets-again imo.  Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder on this one.  For the money, put me in touch with Bret for a nice driver quality Shelby.

Without droning on about this thing...  The '66 I referenced in my original post is a black paint/black int. car with a white top.  I mistakenly referenced it as a triple black car.  That car was scheduled to be auctioned at the Owl's Head Transportation Museum in Maine on the 23rd/24th of August.  It is not and was not advertised as a GT either by OHTM or the seller-I specifically asked the seller that very question and he responded in the negative.  In my review of other Mustangs being auctioned that weekend, I did not see a '65 GT in the listing.  I did, however, see a car fitting that description on the auction results page.  Given this info., I have to believe that they are two different cars.  I did not get an explanation as to why the '66 (non-GT car) never made it to Maine and it doesn't really matter at this point as it's on BAT.  Quick edit-all of the answers are noted on the BAT listing. 

I may be wrong, but I believe the car you believe sold at Owl's Head was actually a '65 GT.  I'll verify from the result's sheet when I have a minute.
