Just got an email from Mecum for this one which looks great ,i always find myself opening Acapulco blue listings hoping to one day see a Parchment/Acapulco Blue car but never do ,did they not make one ? i think think it would be a gorgeous combo .https://www.mecum.com/lots/1169360/1967-shelby-gt500-fastback/?utm_source=MarketingCloud&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SC26+-+R414

I looked it up in my registry & it does mention the Steve McQueen connection & also mentions there's no proof of it but still it would be cool ,i bet it's the only Shelby in the registry with his name attached to it or are there others ?

me too

I never heard of this car until today

They make a great pair good luck with your hunt .

I have one with some slight damage which i still paid a fortune for ,because it's the only one i've ever seen for sale ,however i haven't decided if i want to spend more $ to fix yet .

Ok does this one qualify as a barn find ,i like the BAT one myself because i had a Lime green KR for years

Coming up in a couple weeks great show ,I went last year with great collection of SoCal Shelby's literally on the runway at the John Wayne airport in Orange County, surrounded by war planes.

Until it will be found....some inspiration what to look for.

At least an idea for a future museum display instead of being in a Mecum glass box.

Thanks for posting love it, but i couldn't help but notice even AI doesn't know the difference between 67 & 68 side stripes  maybe it's been done wrong so many times even AI thought it was correct

It's just one of those mysteries that may never be solved , but I think part of the allure is also that it's just the most beautiful spec that they ever made on a GT500 and what I wonder is ? was it just a coincidence that Jim ended up with a 1 of 47 I think Night mist blue parchment GT500 cars.And does anyone know did he have any input in picking that spec or was it just what was available on the lot that day.Took me years to build my own Blue lady collection.

Wow what a read

Yes my auto has a spec rear end

Thanks & couple nice Night mist cars in there including a parchment one.

Thanks i missed the action this morning & was wondering what you said ,i agree about the tag issue but in the end it just makes our cars with all the tags worth more right .

Thanks for the pics ,somehow i seem to miss this show every year
