Seller stated original paint in the auction, but painted hardware in the door jambs.  Touched up, or?

Crusty, but not all original  ;)
Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

#1452 is too late to have a steel innerstructure hood from the factory . The early hood came from a GT500 based on the cuts into the inner structure to clear the GT500 oval air cleaner front and rear. Also white overspray on the hood latch bringing in more questions for the all original paint claim.

San Jose Build date is 3-15-67 (Ide's of March),
Shelby completion date is April 10th, '67.

Quote from listing "...This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT350 was purchased by the seller's parents from Frontier Ford in Niagara Falls, New York, on May 28th, 1968 after reportedly being used as a dealer demonstration vehicle. ..."

The car shipped in Mid-April '67 and first owner got it May 28th of '68 and it was a dealer-demo - that's a year of time for stuff to "happen/change" before the first owner got it and had what they "thought" was original.

As far as the paint claim the easy one I see is the white rocker pinch welds.

Some interesting original details on the car (got some more dates :) even one of the odd ball redrilled export brace we've discussed before

Got to love auctions -both in person and internet ones.

Thanks for posting ! one learns from the comments made, about the details of this car.

Question, what is that lever with the red knob next to the shifter, is it to do with the headers  ? image below.

That is an aftermarket shifter and that model has a reverse lock out controlled by the additional arm and red knob. Other versions have it located in other places and with different types if "knobs"

She's a little tired looking and the bid price surprising with 5 days left ??

Royce Peterson

Seems to be overpriced now. The color is off from Wimbledon White. Looks like original paint above the rear license plate.

You would like to think that it is not bid up by inside bidders but who knows. Given the current looks, condition ,ebay history and bid to price that situation is not out of the question. Just sayin.

first place I look at in pics of cars is that is there overspray on the fender bolts, door jamb latch screws, window stop plates, trunk areas, stainless glass trim. Painters are too lazy-or owners) to either leave those parts on and replace after painting or have the car disassembled further before paint.
