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???

It has been sold to another enthusiast!


Thanks to all involved especially Pete aka "Coralsnake"

At the moment it remains for sale

Very Funny 

Different car 

If anyone has questions etc....

Reach Out.

"Every Shelby has a value". Where would you put this one?

     But if you consider things logically, accurately, a "rebody" in the manor of the Mustangs' unit-body construction means this isn't the Shelby vehicle it purports to be, rather it's a different car (Mustang) with 'some' Shelby "stuff" bolted on it!   

     Scott.

Correct.... It is a "Mustang" with a Shelby Tag on it and purported Original Shelby Drivetrain.

This car has been or tried to be in at least 4 auctions in past few months.

True except... Barrett-Jackson pulled the car from their auction and it "never" crossed the block....

A 'Rebody" will kill the value of any car especially a 1965 GT350 

Great Topic....

Since I own and have bought and sold Many Shelbys....

First Two Questions Asked:

Original Sheet Metal???

Orignal Drivetrain???

At times however, these things do not matter IF the seller gets lucky on BaT, etc.
