Very cool, and what a lucky find for the owner of #1705. How did you wind up with it Bret? Was it located in another car or something of that sorts?

If you know someone close to the family get them to tell them you would like a chance when they decide to do something.

Isn't that how air cars or something like that come about?Quote from: SCJSTU on July 19, 2024, 01:36:56 PMI talked to Marc. The aprons replaced and the original vin numbers welded into the new aprons. I guess a pet peeve while a minor one is a 200K plus car with an incorrect last service/Scott Drake repo shift knob on them. With such a beautiful resto You would think they would search out a correct original flat 3 shift knob for it.Quote from: Coralsnake on July 19, 2024, 01:03:49 PMIf I recall arent the C8AE-H??
The fiberglass is the only bigger issue I see, its a very nice restored car
Pete,
what about inner fender aprons being replaced along with Rad support , hood and nose?
"The seller indicates that the vehicle was involved in front-end damage during previous ownership, resulting in the core support and inner fender aprons being replaced. The headlight buckets, letter panel, and hood are also replacement items."
Quote from: 98SVT - was 06GT on July 05, 2024, 03:34:26 PMThis is why we no longer see very many "old" cars at conventions and shows. If the owner is even interested in attending they will bring a car or two leaving the other 10-100 at home.At SAAC 43 in 2018, which was held at Sonoma, we had a day at DenBeste Motorsports so we've done it before. It was awesome! What a collection!
I wonder if holding conventions near these collections would be doable. The open track while it's been a staple of the SAAC convention has become more of a replica and late car event than one for classic Shelbys. Just a thought......
Quote from: Coralsnake on June 07, 2024, 10:19:31 AMDealing with the State and the neighbors are the biggest issuesI can only imagine the grinder the new owners will be put through. Most race tracks are under some sort of threat from the general public.
Quote from: SFM5S159 on June 07, 2024, 04:01:01 PMI take it your cars original engine is long gone?Quote from: Rickmustang on June 07, 2024, 03:19:36 PM$261k was good offer IMHO for a race car with a '65 Shelby tag 😁
I tend to agree also, I valued mine at $175k-$200k in race trim...But this car was being sold with the original engine I think, that's worth a bump to a lot of people...
