Gotcha Pete.  Thanks for the clarification. 

QSS

What colors where 5B, 6G, 6K, 8B and 9B?  I assume one of those was the Maroon convertible but what colors are the other two?

QSS

SAAC 50 is at Sonoma?  I must have missed the announcement.

Hopefully we can go back to Denbeste Motorsports.

He certainly is persistent, doggedly holding out for less and less money,  Very shred business man.

Thanks Pete.  The updates are awesome.

Hi Jeff.  They look very nice and I am interested.  Two question for you.  Would you by chance be swinging through Las Vegas on your way to Phoenix this fall?  Also, Could I have someone like Tim Lee have a look at the pictures and give me his thoughts on them?  One thing I always thought about original Shelby hub caps was that the snake orientation on the hubcaps should have the snake sit on top of valve stem openings.  I'd just like to get a professionals opinion if possible.

Thanks Jeff.

Purchased. 

QSS

god dang it, why don't you have four for sale?

Do you think you can buy that car for $80k ? The scammers use a price that makes it just attractive enough for someone to believe they need to jump in, before the car gets sold to another person

That should be your biggest clue. The broken description might-be the second

While you guys were arguing about whether it was a scam or not, I flew up, used my HALO chute, and delivered the asking price is small, unmarked, non sequential bills. I was then able to drive it to the nearest mall, and resold it to Pookie for a quick 40K profit, even allowed him to have the extra Shelby box the car originally came in, and I'm now on my way home in my 1978 Ford Fiesta, which I was able to buy at the local gas station for $1495 and they even covered the taxes and gave me temp tag in which to drive the car back home.

Fiesta....... you traded down to a Fiesta.........score of the year.

Very cool, and what a lucky find for the owner of #1705.  How did you wind up with it Bret?  Was it located in another car or something of that sorts?

QSS

I bought the full set of 12.  I've been meaning to get a set for years. 

QSS

I wish you guys wouldn't be so cryptic about the 66 GT350.  I was watching the auction and reading the comments but I have a hard time "reading between the lines".  I want to learn and I want to buy a 65 or 66 GT350 but it's so hard to get honest facts, I'm almost too paranoid to ever pursue another car.

I wish I coulda bought Hanks car but I feel fortunate that I was part of his legacy.

QSS

I have missed out on a few cars because I waited to give the family some time only to find out later they sold the car very soon...         If you know someone close to the family get them to tell them you would like a chance when they decide to do something.

TOB

I agree.  Let someone in the family know that you're interested in the car and that you're willing to pay the full appraised price for it.  Let them know your not looking for a deal, that you love the car and you appreciate the history, the owner and let them know that the money is not as important.  It's more important to be apart of its future and carry on the cars legacy.

Unless of course you're looking for a deal, then just do what ever you want.

QSS

If I recall arent the C8AE-H??

The fiberglass is the only bigger issue I see, its a very nice restored car

Pete,
what about inner fender aprons being replaced along with Rad support , hood and nose?

"The seller indicates that the vehicle was involved in front-end damage during previous ownership, resulting in the core support and inner fender aprons being replaced. The headlight buckets, letter panel, and hood are also replacement items."

I talked to Marc. The aprons replaced and the original vin numbers welded into the new aprons. I guess a pet peeve while a minor one is a 200K plus car with an incorrect last service/Scott Drake repo shift knob on them. With such a beautiful resto You would think they would search out a correct original flat 3 shift knob for it.

So it's considered ok to cut out vin's from an original car and place them into new aprons?  Isn't that how air cars or something like that come about?
