Like others have mentioned probably not worth the effort/expense to even bring the engine home. In my opinion the engine has almost no value in its current condition other than to someone restoring a Ford Mustang and the casting dates of your engine fall in line with their Ford Mustang build date. And even that use could be debated.

The one on Amazon for $125 is a reprint from the original publisher. Since originals have sold for $300-500 over the past decade I suppose $125 is a good deal if not being original isn't a problem for the buyer.

One other thing to mention, these books are really more of a photo album than a book full of written text. Any GT-H owner should have this book in their collection but keep your expectations on the low side.

Sent you a PM.

[REPRODUCED]

These books show up on eBay from time to time. The Hertz book and the Shelby GT book are two separate books.

Also keep in mind that these books were REPRODUCED a couple years back so be sure to verify with the seller  if they have an original book or a reproduction book. Original books were selling for hundreds of dollars which is why a seller took the opportunity to reproduce the books.

Added free shipping in the lower 48.

Also had a SAAC member PM me that they had a mounting hub for sale, I'll be glad to pass that info on to a potential buyer.

My concern, other than theres not much left, is there another Mustang running around with the same VIN number? The front clip was removed for a reason and most likely the reason is it was grafted onto another Mustang and could that Mustang now be using this shells VIN number? Don't know.

Also looking at the sellers photos there are several Mustangs in need of repair in the background.

Other than a "charity" auction what was the previous record price?

Pending sale on the airbag cover.

AIRBAG COVER HAS BEEN SOLD.

What CSM number for 2011 is it? The current owner might want it.


Aloha.

The 48 State shipping is more to reduce the chance of loss or damage but if there is someone from AK or HI I will consider going through the Post Office.

Although SAI promised all 2011 GT350's would be autographed by CS that did not end up happening for several reasons including the lengthly hospitalization and ultimately the passing of CS in May 2012. This particular airbag cover was never installed so it is not connected to an individual GT350.

Thank you for the FB group suggestion, currently I'm not a big user of social media but will keep that in mind.

[NOT]

AIRBAG COVER HAS BEEN SOLD.

Carroll Shelby autographed passenger side airbag cover, NO airbag is included.

Fits the 2011-2014 Shelby GT350 and the 2011-2014 Shelby GTS. This is NOT for the GT500 cars.

Includes the COA from the Shelby Foundation. I've covered up the COA serial number in the photo as some buyers like to keep things like that private, the COA does not have the serial numbered covered up.

$400 can be picked up locally in Santa Barbara California or Scottsdale Arizona. I will consider shipping in the lower 48 States, shipping to be paid for by buyer.

Although I'm new to the SAAC forums I became a SAAC member in the 1980's and have sold Shelby items on eBay since 1997. Private message me and I'll let you know my eBay account so you can review my seller feedback there.

You're welcome. You most likely spoke with Tony E. who has run SAI's Cobra shop for decades and has lots of insight. If the original Cobra dealer is still in business many times you can try to get the original owners name from them as they are usually more free with that sort of information.

Give Shelby Americans sales department a phone call and ask them to pull the paper build file, SAI can easily tell you if this continuation Cobra was sold as a roller or parts on multiple pallets to be assembled by a distributor or perhaps an the retail buyer/owner.

SAI can also provide you with how the Cobra was ordered option wise among other details. Now keep in mind that SAI will most likely NOT have any owner history but you never know unless you ask. I would also suggest asking for photocopies of any paperwork that is releasable, SAI does not appear to have a set policy on releasing paperwork so you will be at the mercey of whomever answers your phone call at SAI.

All the best with your research.
