I believe it was at BJ in 2022, but don't know if it sold there.

Nice.  Is that back end sitting up a little high?

Or is the front too low. A combination of both?

Google AI says:

The "5S257" you asked about refers to a specific, documented 1965 Shelby GT350 with the chassis number SFM5S257. It is not a replica but one of the original 562 examples built by Shelby American in 1965.
Key details about 1965 Shelby GT350 #5S257:
Original drivetrain: It was sold with its original 289 cubic-inch V8 engine, a 4-speed manual gearbox, and other numbers-matching components. The engine is a high-performance 289 Hi-Po "K-code" engine.
Highly restored: The car underwent a meticulous, rotisserie restoration using original and new old stock parts to bring it back to factory specifications.
Recognized quality: In 2021, the car was judged by the Shelby American Automobile Club and received a "premiere level" award in Division 1 competition.
Original sales location: It was originally shipped to Southern California and has spent its entire life in that region. It even retains its original California black license plate.
Auction history: The car was sold by Barrett-Jackson at its Scottsdale auction in January 2022.
Steering wheel detail: As a car with a chassis number in the 257–562 range, it would have been originally equipped with a specific 15-inch slotted wood steering wheel with a chrome steel hub.

The gentleman said no 1966 shelbys had overide traction bars which is false information.

For me it's now perfect,space between rear tire and arch of wheel on the rear fender is small with the Shelby drop in the front it's the way it should be in my book ...

You can see the heater control chrome top edge picking out from behind the steering wheel spokes in a couple shots.
