"Werent aware" seems to be the answer, oversold and bought by someone that hasn't done the hard work is a trend weve been on for a while

Good morning folks,

I highly respect your observations and opinions on this particular Cult Car but that's just my every day guys observation.

I the end the market has spoken loudly at $285,000

Thank you.  I added it to the first post and updated the final prices.

Still trying to learn here...

so the 68 gt500 vert went for so much because it was black with ac, and of course excellent condition?

the 68 highland green KR with lots of older awards looked amazing in pics, good color good history, why did bidding stop at 120k?

logged into Mecum and I cannot see prices on the silver jade gt500 and nightmist blue gt500.  Are these sales get backed out or something?

and I have to ask, special paint cars are cool but orange on red?   I am a red guy, and get some heat for over abundance of red on my red on red car how did the 1970 gt350 look in person.   Also this car had reinforced shock towers did all 69-70 gt350s get that?

You cant judge the cars by auction pictures. They are very deceptive. As are descriptions.

$400k for a 1968 GT500 is silliness, regardless of the car

It was pointed out to me the 68 blue GT350 had an auction description that was 180 degrees from the Registry info

The shock tower reinforcements are common to big blocks, but also found on a lot of small blocks.

Have to agree the red with that orange is not good looking

I went to a Mecum auction once to buy a Shelby that was fully restored, per the description, and looked awesome in the pictures. Even took an empty enclosed trailer. In person, it needed a full restoration and didn't look anything like the pictures. I didn't even stay for it's auction and my trailer went home empty.

@rickmustang I wish I had the money from all the diesel fuel I've wasted looking at cars that the owner completely lies about over the phone.

Thanks Brian for collating the results and posting them. Strong money on the 66 GT350H

wow a lot of Shelbys is this typical?

will the night mist blue pull the most $$$ out of the lot?

wow, I was there and thought the amount wasn't a lot.

Not even close.  The GT Prototype and then the Cobra.

The NMB '67 is a nice driver, but there is a lot that is not correct.

of course, I should of specified shelby mustangs.  That green KR, 67 green gt500 and the hertz all look like contenders.  Nice selection

wow you didn't even mention the 68 gt500 vert. How do you get big dollars out of a 68? Big block,check, 4 speed,check, air, check check, black is the cherry on top hence the almost 400k high bidder who won(over 400k w Bp)Same car in a fb sold for 330k on bat not long ago. Since the car was sold when I walked up to it I didn't pop the hood so didn't know how nice it may have been.
