The invoice in picture 238 paints (no pun intended) a bleak picture of what the cars condition was prior to the work performed.
If I was the seller, perhaps I would not have posted the 7/2025 invoice for engine/undercarriage "detailing"

Overall, will make someone an excellent driver class car, especially with the total control steering rack and aftermarket AC system installed.

Well, on the bright side a potential buyer knows what has been done.

I think its great!

Agreed that its good to see invoices of work done if it includes everything.  Of course plenty of cars are on their second or third go around.  Side stripe won't cost a lot to redo  guess they didn't have a laser level. Hope the winner, if there is one, gets someone to look at it up close to figure out exactly what is there and the condition.  As with any purchase.

Side strip looks terribly crooked . Apparently restorer was not aware that a 70 Shelby got the smaller 69 Mustang side marker lights (because it started as a 69 body)and not the larger cut hole needed for 70 Mustang side marker lights. That is usually done when 70 replacement quarters are used with holes already cut. Of course they don't match the front correct 69 style in the Shelby fenders ether. This is not just a matter of historically correct because the mismatch just looks bad. Hard to go back from that.

69-70s look fantastic in white with blue stripes

Best of luck to the seller

Knowlege, question I have not owned an old Mustang yet. Is the fitment of the rear valance to rear quarter panels to fit that poorly normal? Why use rusty hardware to mount the front valance when the under-hood fender hardware is new and shiny. If you are paying that much for autobody work rusty hardware doesn't work for me. - Kevin

certainly great points you bring up

[Coralsnake]

Fit and finish are a result of the person that worked on the car.

Certainly, with a little time, the valence could fit better.

Passenger side rear marker is very crooked.

[roddster]

Allow me to point out these be pinch weld has no black out.

"Normal"?   Depends on the shop or person doing the work and possibly many other things that may or may not have been replaced or reformed. Originally no they didn't run that short on one side nor overlapped the quarter panel on the other side and only at the bottom of the seam.

"Why" is often the more important question and the reason you need to get eyes on the car since a few pictures often is not enough to base a bid on IMO unless it's the choice to not not the bid at all or further.

Thank you for the information. I wouldn't buy an old Shelby without bringing one of you guys along. I'd buy an old Mustang as a nice driver but not a Shelby poorly restored with high price tag.

233 looks like rust on the upper apron too. Lots of fresh heavy undercoating should scare a lot of people off.
