Wow had no idea......the Viet Nam vets are heroes.That you for your service and all the other veterans here.

PS my uncle fly helicopters with one of the intelligence units about the same time

Stuart

I was there the last 3 days........several Shelby Mustangs no sale on a low sale Thursday and  Friday....... Saturday different money.....several CSX Cobras never got near the usual numbers and were no sales

Strange auction

And yes some cars had strange looking oddities.......

Seinfeld's 917 was never going to sell in my opinion I think they were trying to set the market on it for a later sale.....on such a car how do you put a pre sale value on it?

As usual there seemed to be folks with deep pockets that do not care about a car's value but they want a particular car and no one will get in their way

Marcus,

it sold last year at same auction......I casually looked it over last year and seemed like a nice car.....came from the Northwest Shelby Collection whoever that is....he sold several Shelby's last year all restored cars....to what level I am not an expert

This dealer got an excellent buy in my opinion.......have no clue on drivability..

Heck I would have bought it if I was there when it sold...

I will be there Jan 16-19.......holler if you need

For the life of me I can't fathom why anyone would put their car up for "no reserve". Seems like all the NR cars went too cheap. If the buyers aren't there, you're screwed.

or you buy your car back and pay both buyer and seller commission

I saw the 70 convertible GT350 last year at Kissimmee car came from The Northwest Shelby collection where several Shelby's were sold from this seller.......car seemed very nice from a casual look over. The new owner took a big hit

Anyone know if this is televised?
Thanks

you can always watch action on the Block live on their website www.mecum.com even when it is not on the tv schedule

thanks for the list....I'll be there 16-19.......beer in hand

last year I slipped up and bought a old truck so may not buy anything this time!

Here's a nice 69 GT350 on Facebook marketplace for 85k

I know nothing about it so do your due diligence

Good people can have shitty cars, I think people were turned off by the used car sales pitch

well if i am ever in the market for a cobra replica, I know who to call

Perfect car for a flipper. Hose it out get it running and send it off to auction. Let the 3rd or 4th buyer down the line deal with the emerging problems.

That's scary...

watch Mecum in 2026

The seller has been good flooding the zone with testimonials and redirection.

trying to bury the 'White Noise'    

Can we please now debunk the "owned by shelby" story line.
There are plenty of cars that years ago, were titled in CS name to add a perceived value, yet CS never touched the car, or actually owned it. 

Wasn't even owned by Shelby.....was owned by the Shelby Foundation

Everyone one of these people buying these cars sight unseen deserves to take a bath

Yes......its a tough way to learn though........as PT Barnum once said 'there's a new sucker born everyday'

recent comment from the seller....."happy to do my best to be transparent. Honestly I was shocked how nice it is underneath as I never really saw it before. Really is a nice honest straight forward car"

All I can say is...............turn the lights on buddy

gives new meaning to 'sand in my shoes'
