Let me re-phrase.... I was involved with the sale of these parts however, I do not know how he is representing them.

Quote from: crossboss on December 30, 2024, 09:45:08 PMThis is one of the reasons I left Kommifornia and moved to Nevada. Same weather, far superior car culture here. Yes, many are like myself, ex-California folks.
And, btw, Shelby American is 7 miles from my house.

Same Weather???

I live at the beach.... Not where its 500 degrees in the SUMMER  8)  8)  8)  8)

Truth be told... California has its problems and I hate the politics here...

However, I can drive "any car" 350 plus days a year.

It is too bad you wasted the time and money going to look at it...

We all figured your findings would be true.


Thanks for taking the time to update interested parties.

Quote from: shelbymann1970 on October 10, 2024, 07:43:25 AMMy thoughts are on stock cars that left the factories are this: If it was sold as a race car or turned into a race car from day one a conundrum is what livery do you end up at? The very first configuration? A later one if the car had the most success as that livery? So take this car my thoughts are restore it to stock or as raced livery. The end product is neither? Am I correct on this? Of course opinions vary but you are not getting a car restored to what it ever was "back in the day". You are buying a modified 65 Shelby whereas the value is in how stock/original" it is or how it was when modified to race at some point.

Just my personal two cents worth-----If the car has vintage race history, be it on day 1, or day 800, at least to me, it should be kept as a race prepped car. If the current owner wants to restore it to stock, that is his or her prerogative, their car, their money. As far as SFM5S208 is concerned, the current owner/seller was so focused on the money spent on the car, but failed to realize that you can easily be on the wrong side of the economic equation when it comes to restoring an antique car that those figures do not matter. Same goes for the quality of the restoration, or the attention to detail of the same. As of right now, in the current market, he must now realize that he will be losing money with the sale, as there is less of a chance of finding an uninformed buyer just looking to scratch that "Shelby itch".

Bill,

You are 100 percent correct.

Quote from: sfm5 on October 09, 2024, 09:06:28 AMThe seller provided yet another master-class on how to alienate potential buyers that have legitimate questions by accusing them of sandbagging his auction. After three massive fails in 18 months he has likely tainted 5s208 for future transactions.

Its sad as it deserves a better showing regardless of it's actual condition

Quote from: SBCARGUY on October 08, 2024, 08:14:00 PMIt is pretty simple.
The seller either has no idea what he has or he is trying to hide the actual truth...
I bet most of the sheet metal has been replaced as most of those cars in PERU were road extremely hard and I know this because I used to own one.
The seller will not give any real information except call people names and we all know the entire drivetrain is not original and of course it was "supposedly" restored as a R model.
I might have  :( actually bid on it IF HE PROVIDED ANY WORTHWHILE INFORMATION
Good Grief, I am shocked it got to $325k, $295k and now $247K  8)
I think he attacked you as you were selling your white 66 auto at the time? He kept calling your 66 a Hertz car also? It's nice you use your same handle here as on BaT. I'm close on my name.

Yes... he appears to be quite a guy...  :(

I believe you are mistaken....

I just double checked and all the videos on the BAT listing are of this car and its an Automatic.

I had to check to make sure as I have owned (9) 65s and (7) 66s.

Thanks!

Quote from: Coralsnake on May 01, 2024, 02:29:07 PMSome recent BaT cars

6S1884 - sold for $149,500

6S814 sold for $130,000

6S1387 sold for $132,000

Not really sure you can attribute that to the seller

Since those are ALL Automatic Hertz cars....

They really do not compare in Value to a 4 Speed, Non-Hertz Car...

The seller might have done better "if" he had someone run the auction for him or... Added more photos or documented the "claims".

Based upon the information we all had... He should have taken the $175,500 (including the BAT Fee)
