Star car for sale

[crossboss]

Personally I don't see erasing the history of Johnny Crawford buying the car from Carroll Shelby himself and turning it over time into the car he wanted to drive, just to turn it into another Wimbledon White Stepford car that IF you show it only gets a cursery glance because it is exactly the same as all the other cars. Support the story, they don't all need to be the same boring rubber stamp.

The tide is turning again gentlemen.

Agreed! Buy it, and enjoy it. Btw, Johnny passed away a couple of years ago. Prob an estate sale...

I totally agree with John and crossboss. John, I like you using the term stepford as I used it Recently in talking about the workers at Peets coffee. Because Peets is trying to make them all into stepford's. All the girls working at my local Peets coffee used to have vests with pins on them, of which I gave them a bunch of automotive ones. And then Peets told them they all had to Wear the same top and do away with their vests.

Can someone on this thread help me understand what the correct price is to buy this? It keeps coming down in price. I am new to the GT350 world but have been looking for a while and see this as an entry point if the price is correct.

That is a hard question to answer but it
depends on your budget and the car's market value.

Truly comes down to a compromise/agreement between you and the seller.

Best of luck on your endeavors

There is no "correct" price for everyone. It's a one of one car - the guy will want more because it was owned by a TV kid, he'll want more because it was in a magazine, He'll want more because the underpinnings are rust free CA sheetmetal. You'll counter with all that isn't day one and in the end it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want it as a driver hit the guy with $100 grand offer and work it out from there. If you want to turn it into a STEPFORD CAR (I like that term already) then you need to figure out what the cost of the restoration is to the level you want and subtract that from current garage queen prices.

I hope the tide is turning there is too much history of these cars being lost to the parts guy, bodyman and the spray gun.
My understanding is the current owner bought it from the wife. She had sold a lot of stuff to cover his care (Alzheimer's) and Paul Peterson (The first Cobra Club President) had started a go fund me for him. In the 80s a friend hauled an old Chrysler and a turbine engine from the Harrah's auction. We dropped them off out in the San Fernando Valley. The turbine was going into a 66 Charger and the Chrysler was for Crawford.
