I have no horse in this race, just wondering about everybody's thoughts on this car. Looking at the pics, there's some obvious problems. Not sure if the dual 4's hurt the price or not. I've been watching this for awhile, and was wondering why someone hasn't snatched it up. Maybe some of you could possibly shed some light or offer your own observations.

This car was already discussed. I do not know how to attach the link or I would.

If you think its a good deal, you should buy it
Coralsnake, I've been slowly looking around for a long time. I have a '70 Grabber Orange Boss 302 that I would like to do a partial trade if possible. I've been trying to work my way up the chain. I had a '68 GT Fastback, sold it to get the Boss, and now would like to get into a Shelby. I was just wondering if anyone would see something with this car that I didn't catch. BTW, I love your website. Visit it often.

I it ie low, then it should be sold
Heres the other thread
Most people that haven't seen the car in person are going to be hesitant to critique the car in public.

I agree with Pete on seeing cars in person for overall quality and things you cannot see by pics alone. With that said a 302 auto no air 68 FB is at the bottom of the food chain Shelby wise. So some easy to see clues on quality of work done would be painted fender bolts. Rust on engine. rust holes underneath. So a personal inspection should be done. A lot of clues in the many pics provided to see what the car is overall. Use the Hagerty guide as a general reference. See pic below. it is a guide reference. So using their criteria once you see the car in person you would then determine in your own opinion is it a #3 car? A #4 car? Etc. Then with that in mind determine what is the car worth to you? -20 percent for auto but I think in certain cars I think it could be more. Some less.
Anytime you see a "big box" dealer name like "Classic Auto Mall" and photo studio images....well, if you know..you know.
Not speecifically disparaging the selling dealer...just saying that offerings from these big consignment offerings who specialize in nothing whatsoever tend to fall short of what is displayed in pics. Just saying.
Kind regards,
Vern
Have seen it.
Thank you folks for all the insight. I wasn't thinking about purchasing this vehicle, too many red flags in the pics. Just trying to gauge the market, and I figured what better place to start than the SAAC forum.

I'd keep an eye on cars that Bret keeps putting up for sale on our forum. Capecodmustang.com
There is a Dealer that advertises monthly in the "AUTOBUY" magazine that has a Red GT 500KR Convertible for $99K.
Yep, I've followed Bret and Cape Cod Mustang for years. :)

In what ways? My friend has a 4K mile 69 Boss 302 with 3.91 gears. Bone stock. Driving it on it's repo polyglas tires is like driving a new one in 1969. They are slugs. Period. My 2019 Equinox is faster. The 68 302 4 speed is also a slug being even slower than the B2. The suspension are not much different on a B2 as the same suspension in 69 was used on later Shelbys. The B2 had a lot of potential when modified. The same could be said for other cars like the 68 302 Shelby(go the tunnel port route). To say a Boss 302 is a heck of a lot more fun to drive I'll tell you I have owned and driven both and not sure what you mean. A 4 speed 68 Gt350 with 3.89 gears isn't as fast but neither throw you back in your seat. Plus a 68 Shelby still looks "cooler" than a Boss 302 but that is an "opinion" of mine.
I'll take my old 68 Gt350 over a 69-70 B2 any day-other than the black 70 that was made.
Brett just found me a gem of a 67 Shelby GT 350, I would definitely call him!
