Lots of beauty shots but lacking the detail photos to support it as a 12k mile unmolested example. The original R servo transmission housing replaced but no telling if CJ cast iron tail housing present. N-case? 31spline axles? 2 1/2" brakes? CA vapor control or recall? Repo fan shroud? Tilt-away functional? Wrap around shock towers? Carb#/date?, Chrome dipstick?, Glass dates?, nothing shown or described just that it was previously part of a known collection. Battery Apron was replaced

Probably is a very nice restoration but couldn't be assured of a without further proof which some listings actually provide.

Not very well presented relying upon previous owner's collection reputation.

Does this apply to guys wanting to just setup a table to sell or swap parts?

Long but interesting discussion on how this unfolded.

Very interesting and informative YouTube videos from Gregg Richhart on the disassembly and freshening up process of his 1969 silver jade GT500 convertible #1291. Great shots of unmolested areas of the car which is in very good condition even with some previous maintenance and repairs in its history. Below link is the first of several parts that are currently available with more to come.

Pitt Race (Pittsburgh International Raceway) just sold...apparently to a developer and will no longer be a racetrack.  This is devastating news!

Lots of aftermarket parts everywhere and therefore many unique Shelby items missing including front upper shock mount brackets with washers.

Here's the NOS original 1964 truck bumper chrome versions with non clear glass lens that were repurposed by Shelby and brass metal painted black. Unfortunately when installed into the fiberglass tail light panel the bezel metal prongs really chew up the edges of the plastic panel hole and many fell out and were lost. Some lucky owners noticed them loose and applied sealant and rotated them slightly after reinstalling to engage in better section of fiberglass edge. Very common issue you see replaced with the wrong only half shrouded no 64TK marking white plastic lens made in China make shift solution.

This is the correct light socket with separate ground and power bullet plug that's used for Shelby license plate light application. The ground wire is white paint stamped with a S9MS FOMOCO identification number.

Here are some photos of what others have described starting with the large retaining collar version used on 69/70 truck bumpers and which has the same SAE-L 64TK JWH chrome cover and glass lens.

Same video as response #2 but on YouTube with some interesting commentary.

Happy to help Bob.

Some historical perspective of this issue.
