My guess has a $190K reserve. Sold at the Mecum auction in Dallas in 2015. Mecum seller claimed matching #'s drivetrain.

Just like the Caution Fan sticker that never came on any year Shelby (red flag for if you don't know about this what else could be wrong    ) The other bogus tag/sticker for a 67 or for that matter any Shelby or Mustang from the factory is the white with red lettering battery tag on the Battery terminal. The tag was something that New Castle Battery company (first repro battery company)came up with to protect their company liability wise .This came out in the early 80's and has been around so long that newbies thought it was original on Autolite batteries and consequently got wrongly reproduced. It was not something that that EVER came on a genuine Ford Battery from the factory or over the counter.

Just to add to Bob's factoid....The car has the hole punched in the apron/fender edge for a zee
Bracket and it is missing. Other stuff on the list should be the e brake cables with a Black casing
Which is visible from many angles. And a Florida car with a Texas title??
Appears well documented.

Likely or possibly a collection of copies the owner got from Dave.

Interesting comment below from Brian Styles on BaT (replying to, "I believe some very late-production non-A/C cars received louvered hoods at the factory because inventories of the standard smooth hoods ran low near the end of the 1967 build run.").

"Any supporting paperwork for your 'belief?' To the contrary, the Daily Production Reports (DPRs) that have been found only show louvered hoods going to GT500 air-conditioned cars. Saying things like this in a public forum only continue to regurgitate the lore, rather than facts."

Its only getting worse with AI, because that crap information is out there

People are taking whatever comes out of computer as truth. In a lot of cases its combining random things that are irrelevant

Im surprised to see some people still quoting "318" 1968 Shelby KR convertibles.

People want the easy button, instead of doing the hard time consuming research.

Heres one example:

I asked Google how cars out of the 318 KR Shelby convertibles were red?

It answered:

Out of the 318 Shelby GT500KR convertibles built with that specific tally (though some historical registries list 518 convertibles due to updated SAAC/Ford record revisions), 43 were finished in Candyapple Red (Candy Apple Red) paint.
• Total GT500KR Convertibles (variant tally): 318 (or up to 518 in revised counts)
• Candyapple Red GT500KR Convertibles: 43
• Other details for that specific 43-car / 318-car subset: 267 had 4-speed manual transmissions, 38 had Black Décor Bucket Seat interiors, and 25 had white convertible tops.


It simply took my 318 number as "correct", reinforcing my false assumption and gave me a bunch more false information.

Hopefully, the smarter people will tell the not so smart people, "artificial" is not as good a real intelligence

Sold for $300K plus the $7,500. BAT buyer fee (and sales tax?)

Great Presentation brings Great Money. Good pictures, too.

If the buyer has a professional inspection, then changes his mind, he already has a buyer willing to take it: "Great buy. Congrats. If you ever want to flip it, I am there at $325k" (Says JeffreyJKeenan likes: 0)

Ya I wouldn't bet on that holding true. How many times have people said that and disappeared the minute you contact them. Of course their likely going to wonder why the bid winner is bailing. Same thing happens when cars get rerun at big and small car auctions.
