Looks like a good buy but I can't do royal maroon

It's up to 265 in bid goes on. Which they should take and run... I guess there was one guy or people didn't want to show face and bid

I don't think a single Shelby sold at auction even though I thought prices were fair.   I was not there to personally inspect

175 for a lime gold 67 gt500
157 for a survivor 66 auto
120 for a 68 gt350 4 spd air car

However restomods and Elenor's were strong.

I think it will work and look great.  Obviously you will go through the box and controls inside so you shouldn't have the same problems I did.  That will be a nice evening project.. Not, It will take some time but will be worth it when that cold air blows on you

Fast response but I ordered a few things this morning, suspension kit was back ordered, so I thought I had some time, but I just got a ship notification, Ill follow some details from Coral Snakes site,  paint saddles and upper arms grey etc and roll with it.  It will look much better than what is in there.

Maybe I will mess with the rear a little bit after I swap this all in. do new rear springs fix the lean?

I think he promised it would be as good as it ever was

build creep is setting in.  Front suspension is a mix mash of parts some new some old, its all serviceable and no clunks or anything.

I am thinking of just replacing it all with this, any input?

This car has nice paint, interior, and motor but its not super original but it all looks original if that makes sense.  1966 block, no smog, color and trans change etc.

Chockostang talked me off the ledge.  I think he said "you don't want to put that argentine junk on you car"

restomod I would do it in a heart beat.

I am not a fan of fords power wandering and leaking system.   

I have a borgeson on my 69 and it's excellent. cpp makes a kit I have not seen any reviews on.  Does either work with a 428 manual car?

Would this devalue the car?  I may not hold it a long time.  It's very nice and correct looking but has reproduction parts, color change, transmission change etc.  Visually not much would change except maybe going to a Saginaw pump

Sorry I did not look through each kit but these would be my priorities

must have:
 original looking controls and vents

prefer
sanden compressor, they just work
aftermarket system without vac lines etc.

now I have not completely rebuilt my stock insides but did put a sanden in and the ac worked for awhile and then something messed up inside and I have not fixed it.  So its kind of disappointment so I would spend the extra 1k or so to have a modern electronic controlled unit if I was going in with a car that did not already come with ac.

Coupe to fastback conversion donor . Jk

Wild, black for the win!   Get the right 2-3 bidders and I am sure the car is super nice.

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...

Keep critiquing.   Wheels, 1 piece nose, trans lines. Older restoration old paint with several flaws, trans needs rebuilt.  Are those cracks in underneath?  Wrong drivers door. Any chance this thing was a re-body?

What's the California collection being sold? The socal museum? Didn't it close down?

wow color is king.
had 3 very similar 70 gt350s went through today. pastel 115k gulfstream aqua 107k and silver jade 88k

I actually thought the silver jade was the nicest car and the pastel the worst, going off of video/pics, I was not there.

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
