Where is the shaking my head emoji?!

It will not be anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.

I just received word that the buyer of the 1970 BOSS 9 car was unaware of the fact that it was built/restored as a static show car meaning the car has absolutely no fluids in any of the systems and it was built to be pushed in and out of a trailer and that's it.

I was aware of this when I was there, but there was nothing on the placard in front of the car that indicated that it would not/could not start/run/drive

I was there early Friday morning. They allowed me to walk around before the general public got there. I walked all three buildings with Dave Wise who is a noted Mopar expert and does the wise reports

A lot of things that I saw going on, I stuck around until after the event started until about 11 AM

We were doing photo shoots all day today for new cars coming into inventory and I did not go back even though it's 30 miles from me, but I was being updated by my assistant throughout the event

The money that was being paid for cars and for memorabilia, etc., was incredible - I'm sure this event will set a record for a number of different reasons

anyone here going to the auction?

I am going to go for just a day to look around - I usually meet lots of interesting & cool people at these types of auctions (one-off) and some even become clients

This auction company in my professional opinion has done a wonderful job on the advertising and visuals of the event - Gonna be some big $$$$$ changing hands.................

GOOD GOD! $ 226,000.00 for THAT?!!!

DenBeste rocks it!

Ron,

It certainly appears that Brian is willing and capable of organizing special cars at special events.
He was involved in getting the three cars to at Indiana SAAC Fall Classic four years ago, and now again to The Quail, in California.

Did you try to reach out to Brian?

[I understand #0100 isn't going to make it to SAAC-50 - bummer.However, I'm aware that #0131 and #0139 are attending.Will they be displayed together somewhere special, with a good backdrop, for those attending to get some good photos of the two one-offs together - the black top and the white top? Has there been any strategy or communication to organize such an awesome opportunity?"]

Thank you

Its a well-preserved, honest example thats been fully serviced and remains a very nice driver ideal for someone who wants to enjoy a real-deal Shelby on the road.
VIN: 9FO2R480228
Mileage: 59,006 (believed original)
Originally ordered through Horn-Williams Ford in Dallas, TX, this GT500 came loaded with factory options, including:
C-6 Cruise-O-Matic Transmission
Goodyear Polyglas Tires
Visibility Group
Sport Deck Fold-Down Rear Seat
Power Front Disc Brakes
Power Steering
Tilt-Away Steering Wheel
Factory AM/8-Track Radio (still working!)
Tinted Glass (Complete)
Tachometer & Trip Odometer
Factory Air Conditioning
Finished in its original Candyapple Red, the car was repainted about 15 years ago and still presents very nicely, with a clean, driver-quality shine. It retains its factory-correct gold GT500 side stripes and white deluxe interiora highly desirable color combination.
Under the hood is the original 428ci Cobra Jet V8, factory rated at 335 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, paired to the correct automatic transmission. The engine features its original ram-air intake, four-barrel carburetor, and finned valve covers, and the car has been recently serviced front to back by our factory Shelby American dealership.
This Shelby retains its original-type factory transverse exhaust system, an often-replaced feature that sets this car apart in terms of originality.
All Shelby-specific body components are original and intact, including the fiberglass NACA-ducted hood, front nose, quarter panel scoops, rear spoiler, and center-exit exhaust. It rides on its original 15 Shelby wheels, now wrapped in brand-new BF Goodrich Radial T/As.
Inside, the deluxe interior features a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, 8k-rpm tach, 120-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure and amperage. The fold-down rear seat, tilt-away column, A/C, and working original AM/8-track radio make this car not just correct, but genuinely enjoyable to drive.
This is a highly original, well-optioned GT500 that offers a rare combination of documentation, authenticity, and drivability. Whether you're a collector, investor, or enthusiast, this Shelby is the kind of car you can drive with pride and hold with confidence.
