Brian as always thank you.
Great Job Brian!!! 8)
Great job Brian, thank you!
Much appreciated Brian ... thanks!!! ;)
Fred
Thats a lot of 1968-69s!
I've started seeing a price dip in certain categories of Shelby's (and other 60's cars)- maybe others are noticing that also and cashing out. This is really a nice assortment for buyers.
Just think what an opportunity it will be when all those California cars get sold off
I understand the purpose of list silverton_ford created but I logged into the website and typed in just Shelby. There is a lot of cars listed at this auction. Not sure if I have seen this many in one auction. Looks like it might be a great one to watch.
Wow - I'll be glued to the auction for days.... 8)
Splendid list !
Thank you B.L.
I am flying down on Sunday to check out the cars. Looking forward to it.
Corey
thanks for the list....I'll be there 16-19.......beer in hand
last year I slipped up and bought a old truck so may not buy anything this time!
That's quite the list of Shelbys to be sold at One auction.I think someone will be getting a good deal when it all said and done. Does anyone have any favorites that have a Good History that we should watch?
2 cars from the list that stick out for me are CSX3009 and SFM5S383, both high quality examples with pretty high estimates. Be interesting to see what they fetch.
I dont think theres a comp to the BaT car, but it will be interesting to see all the results
Love that Cobra #2242!
Rumor has it that CSX3009 will soon be owned by The Miller Foundation and join many of their other cars at the Shelby American Collection.
This is one big collection of 1969s
Definitely will keep an eye them all
Notice the difference in the font spacing on the G.T. 350 side stripes between lot F187 and F195.
Its unfortunate they make it hard to save the photos.
Not impossible, just harder than it needs to be
Anyone know if this is televised?

Here is a list of their TV Times on Motortrend - https://www.mecum.com/tv/tv-times/ (https://www.mecum.com/tv/tv-times/)
I will be there the 17-18th would love to have some input from you experts, would like to meet up.
I will be looking to bid on a driver quality car. Targeting 67-68 gt500 first choice and 69-70 gt-500 second.
I prefer to buy non auction due to fees but I couldn't pass up this excuse to see 30+ shelbys that are available for sale and to escape the cold of Utah.

you can always watch action on the Block live on their website www.mecum.com even when it is not on the tv schedule
Red on red 1969 wow
I said before it's a buyer's market, unless you REALLY have a very interesting rare vehicle to sell.
1967 GT500 is stunning.
Love that 1969 Trans American if I only had the room.
It surely was a beautiful day in Floridaland, now unto a beautiful night ND vs Penn State !

70 gt350 vert went across today for 118k. Somebody bought it last year at mecum auction for 150k. Why does someone dump it so fast.....
Nice 69 gt350 with air 82k
Boss 9 for 308 Eleanor clone for 178

The might have discovered/learned something about the car that they could not live with. Not like there is a lot of opportunity to fully check out a car at one of these auctions or sometimes they get caught up in the moment only to regret it later. Would not be the first buyer to be in this situation
Another possibility is that the new owner found something he wanted to own more than that car and didn't mind loosing a bit in order to get another thing that he might not get another opportunity to get.
All kinds of possible situations but at this point we're just guessing.
Back about 30 years ago...KR convertibles were regularly trading in the $350-400k range.
They are maybe half that now.
Contrary to many peoples perspective, prices dont just keep going up
I saw the 70 convertible GT350 last year at Kissimmee car came from The Northwest Shelby collection where several Shelby's were sold from this seller.......car seemed very nice from a casual look over. The new owner took a big hit
I have to say, I get a little smile when I see the speculators take a bath
Well with 16 69-70 shelbys at 1 auction toooo many to choose from and with 69-70 shelbys prices been soft in the last year mecum flooding the market will only hurt the market more. Why would they sell so many of the same type cars at one auction when they have so many other auctions thru out the year? If your wanting a 69-70 shelby FL mecum is the place to go buy one as i have never see that many for sale in one place before and a good variety to choose from so now is the time to buy.
Because the like money?

wow color is king.

What's the California collection being sold? The socal museum? Didn't it close down?
125K RNM(air 4 speed=$$$). 120 speedo? https://www.mecum.com/lots/1135592/1969-shelby-gt350-fastback/
Did some ever leave AO Smith with a 120 speedo?
Just looked up blue 70 gt350 vert in registry says white interior white top color code E but black interior black top so why would u change that as with the blue the white int and top would be rare and very pretty in my books. Auction prices often dont make sense as thats why u have to know the car and history and closely inspect the car BUT most important know what u are looking for. I get many people ask me about cars when i am at auctions and i look at undercarrages but watch people look at cars as they never crawl under the car just do a walk around. If a guy has a good car he is usually around the car representing it and answering ?s but many cars have nobody around them so how are u supposed to get any info about the car and the write ups on these cars dont tell u much about the cars history anymore as the auction companys often write up the info the way they want and back years ago the seller wrote up the info.
Because I don't know why do some of some of these cars travel from auction to auction? I read Muscle Machines magazine and the writer notes that this happens. I keep my vehicles for a long time. My last daily driver I put almost 250k miles on it before I decided it was time for a change.

Good catch Gary. If any did come with a 120 speedo it would have been a big mistake so it would be extremely unlikely and hard to prove it came that way . Most likely changed out by past owner. I have seen that done a few times when someone buys a complete dash cluster already rechromed and restored. Any of us that have done that ourselves knows what a pain that is and time it takes to restore one. The restorer probably thought it would save time and money. Especially at prevailing shop rates. The restorer didn't notice or didn't know . It makes one wonder what other mistakes will crop up. :o

+1, it's surprising how few owners or representatives are around cars at these big auctions to talk to interested bidders. Last car I sold at B-J, I got there early in the week. Spent a while talking to one guy, who ended up buying it.
For the life of me I can't fathom why anyone would put their car up for "no reserve". Seems like all the NR cars went too cheap. If the buyers aren't there, you're screwed.

or you buy your car back and pay both buyer and seller commission
This 70 Shelby sold on Friday....wondering if anyone has seen this car or knows anything about it. Was bought by a dealer who wants to turn it around and have someone interested in purchasing it before it leaves Florida. From the photos and video Im seeing in the listing looks like a driver. No underside photos which always are great to see.

Marcus,
it sold last year at same auction......I casually looked it over last year and seemed like a nice car.....came from the Northwest Shelby Collection whoever that is....he sold several Shelby's last year all restored cars....to what level I am not an expert
This dealer got an excellent buy in my opinion.......have no clue on drivability..
Heck I would have bought it if I was there when it sold...
I will be there Jan 16-19.......holler if you need
When rare collector cars sell under market value its best to do an inspection and reseach past history.
This Falcon wagon is pretty cool (not the original SAI used). Has a Paxton too:

I crawled under most of the 65-70 Shelby's yesterday. All in all they were good I only saw rust holes on one rear quarter drop.
Yes they ranged from rotisserie restored to spray bombed originals, to older restorations, some with lots of gooped on undercoat that I am sure is covering repairs. Some of them were beat up underneath but not rusty. All the engines looked good though lol, definitely evidence of a pressure wash, new valve cover gaskets and a rattle can job. When we all know it's the intakes that are leaking...

Divorce, the threat of divorce, age related illnesses, lost interest in the car, job loss, overwhelming medical bills, a so-called significant other pressuring you to sell. Offspring going to school...many reasons.
2. 69-70 shelby fastbacks sold for more than any of the 69-70 verts just dont make sense.
The auctions have never made sense. A lot of amateurs with disposable income changing the dynamics
5S383 sold 990 000 !!! that's a record for a street car , i guess 2 guys really wanted it !!
Few Cobra were bided less than that ...
6s...Carry over sold 418 000 it confirm the special desirable valuable satus of those 252 cars.
How can a 65 shelby be worth more than a 289 cobra or in the same price range ?

Good question! As far as rarity, they were produced in similar numbers.... Maybe they should be priced in the same range???

I looked over that carryover car. Someone had popped the VIN plate off thru one of the rivets. There was no ford VIN under the plate. The car said all VINs were verified so maybe that has an explanation. But it would make me nervous.

Cash money all in...once again the market has spoken
:(
Lots of money in the house these days! Just depends on what a guy wants... ;D
Quote from: Special Ed on January 19, 2025, 08:32:42 AMHow can a 65 shelby be worth more than a 289 cobra or in the same price range ?
Rarity or production numbers are not the only factor as usual. Demand is always a consideration. If rarity alone was the only factor there are a ton of other cars that would be double or triple their price. Value is rarely just a black and white formula from what I've experienced
I was there the last 3 days........several Shelby Mustangs no sale on a low sale Thursday and Friday....... Saturday different money.....several CSX Cobras never got near the usual numbers and were no sales
Strange auction
And yes some cars had strange looking oddities.......
Seinfeld's 917 was never going to sell in my opinion I think they were trying to set the market on it for a later sale.....on such a car how do you put a pre sale value on it?
As usual there seemed to be folks with deep pockets that do not care about a car's value but they want a particular car and no one will get in their way

So true.

Few Cobra were bided less than that ...
6s...Carry over sold 418 000 it confirm the special desirable valuable satus of those 252 cars.
I looked over that carryover car. Someone had popped the VIN plate off thru one of the rivets. There was no ford VIN under the plate. The car said all VINs were verified so maybe that has an explanation. But it would make me nervous.

I cannot say for certain if this is the case for 6S119, but many carryovers did not get the Ford VIN stamping in the usual place under the Shelby VIN tag. Rather, it got stamped further out on the inner fender apron, and is usually covered by the lip of the outer fender. I'm currently aware of 31 carryovers like that.
If you want more info about that, go to this web page and then search for the word "anomaly". You'll find a section titled, "Ford VIN Stamping Location Anomaly" with more details and an example picture.

Possible. However, the absence of the underlying former Ford VIN, if true, only determines that the car has not (yet) been identified as that which it is asserted to be.
Dumbfounded the owner/seller did not provide validation to potential buyers (or the auction house). Maybe he did (?).
Nonethless, to drop 400 (large) on a website theory without certitude has the potential of being problematic.
Silly me, I had thought that the drivers/front VIN stampings conspicuity was purposeful to assist in easy identification and/or fraud prevention.

I took Corey Bowcutt comment to report a lack of any VIN not just one stamped of a ways by an operator. Lack of any would be unusual and a concern IMO. Of course no one should read that the slightly off normal driver side forward VIN was a Shelby only detail for that production period but just another Mustang one that became a Shelby feature for those cars

Corey: That's common for carryover cars. Imagine my shock when I removed the tag on my carryover and didn't see a VIN. For whatever reason, the VIN is under the fender lip in the cutout area. Verified it was there on my car, whew!
Always learning new things.
Thank you Charles.
Corey
Not a Shelby, but on my early 66 SJ car you can clearly see the VIN stamping from underneath as well, so it could have been verified from that angle IMO.
