Looks like it was well bought.

Should have chosen a better/different venue. Poorly sold, oh well!

I wonder how much good original stuff was on this car. Seems strange not to show a photo of the carburetor if it was original, or any info on the block.
Hopefully, you've had everything.

Given the ad lacks pictures of many parts of the car that are important to many both in originality, condition, past damage and or repair its hard determined IMHO how well the seller or buyer did. If the car needs a complete restoration to get it to a #1 or #1 condition or has any surprises (don't know nor have seen the car in person I believe) then that may have held the price back. Don't know but would guess someone purchased it for the "drive it like it is" use and the fact is that at that moment that, is what it was worth to the person who would pay more any anyone else.

396k for a 'driver' 65 ain't bad (even if it did have many of it's bonafide parts-which is unknown).
This car could soak up another 100-200k to bring to pristine.

Good price for the seller, IMO. Many friends saw it up close.

Sometimes we all make mistakes... Because of the POOR/BAD venue decision the seller was probably pissed, and the new owner slipped away like a thief in the night knowing he got a bargain/steal of a price on one of the most iconic SHELBYS... the 65s.There are other auction sites, places and times that would have been a better option for seller. Something to think about when selling!

Doesn't Mecum have reserves on the vast majority of their sales offerings?  I'm sure the seller got nearly exactly what he was looking for which might indicate:
A - The car needed a bunch of  expensive items to make it correct?
B - Rust or accident damage?
C - The seller was very motivated to sell.

No matter what the reason, I'm pretty confident there was a reserve of some sort on the car.
