Better Than Winning The LOTTERY.... 

I hope someone ends up with a yellow KR convertible. They are very special and unique.

But all the 4 speed A/C ones are spoken for.
Ted and Rae Segerstrom's collection famously includes all five of the special yellow, 4-speed, air-conditioned 1968 GT500KR convertibles produced.

This particular car is an Automatic

427 Cobras are finally in fashion again...

Ton of Money for the Narrow Hip!

Ned,

You are definitely the guy in terms of Original Cobras...

What is your take on this car on BaT?

I think what he posted above pretty much spells it out.

Not exactly...

He wrote about his thoughts on Mike McCluskey and what he did with Cobras over the past 50 years in terms of legality etc...

Not Much about the details of this car being sold on BaT....

If the Body, Chassis, Motor and who knows what else are NOT from CSX3372 when delivered new....

What is this car considered???

How could it be considered a Original CSX3000 car at all???

Ned,

There are some confused people on BaT talking about this car and will not accept reality....

It is not exactly an Original CSX3000 car anymore (in my opinion)....

No matter how many times people are trying to make others believe it is... 

I am not sure any of us can actually say what Original parts are on it at this point as it has been decades since Mike rebuilt it.

No idea about the one supposedly in Europe...

Oh boy, did FL duhSAAC see that "1" in front of the" 79,000" ? ??

VERY FUNNY

CSX8061 For Sale on BaT

It's an excellent CSX8000 car

289 previously owned/built by Don Orosco

TKX 5 speed

SB100 and so on...

Car is new... About 40 actual miles

Some that has been around SAAC concours as long as Mike, should know a driven car is at a significant disadvantage in a concours event.

Sounds like a lot of hopping and down about a nothing burger to me

As a previous owner of (2) Concours 1965 R models and have owned (9) 1965 GT350s...

I am not sure it matters where they are judged...

Yep...I understand as a CURRENT owner of CSX21XX and CSX31XX...

It is my belief sometimes we lose sight of the objective or plan.

No Offense...

Having been a SAAC member for 25 years, I am not arguing with all that. I knew the risks of an outdoor meet when I signed up, but was hoping for something better. I remember at SAAC 40 how people talked about how unusual it was to be at such a nice venue and have all the cars indoors. But actually, it seemed like the banquet dinner had about as many people as any NCRS National I had been to, though the number of judged cars was much smaller.
And I know people like to drive their cars on a track at SAAC, something NCRS would never do. I guess I will just have to find other ways to enjoy such a perfectly restored '65 GT350, one I have been searching for for many years after having several '68s, you remember those.
It is sad even Mid-America has ditched any Concours judging, and MCA is always outdoors these days. Oh well, I guess I will just keep driving it around the mountain roads here with the Team Shelby Mountain Chapter, and to local Cars and Coffee events like the one I took it to this morning......

So.... Just to clarity your post...


You will drive your "Perfectly Restored" 65 GT350 around to cars and coffee and other events, however you will not bring it so SAAC 50 as it will have to sit outside for the "Concours Class"? 

The one on BaT was a DEAL....

I sent you his email address via pm.

It has been for sale several times...

Not referring to this exact car or the posts from Real Experts on this car, which is very appreciated.

However, some other people on this forum just like to comment.... Is there a prize for the most comments???

Assuming most of them are meaningless???
