Beautiful car! I love the "clean" look of the engine bay and such. I am confident the next owner will get some great enjoyment out of the car. Good luck in finding the right buyer.

Hey -

The VIN is 9F02R483216. All help is appreciated.

I recently acquired a 69 GT500 and am hoping to identify previous owners. With that said, is "Craig Hammond" active on the site or does anyone know him? He is a previous owner and I would welcome the opportunity to connect with him. Thanks!

I too can vouch for Tim at CCR. He has rebuilt/restored a couple carburetors for me and the work has been exceptional and timely. An all-around nice guy as well.

Looking to replace the aftermarket aluminum radiator in my 69 GT500 4 speed car with an original version. Please contact me if you have one that is available. Thanks

Thanks Jay.  I saw the carb issue as well.  I was wondering about that OP gauge so that may be one of the first projects if I end up with the car.

Didn't quite catch if you knew it was a joke but NO CAUTION FAN sticker. A running joke among 69-70 Shelby owners. I believe the inspection "P" on the upper cowl should be in the DS upper door jamb. That is where my original sticker was when I bought my 70 Vert and Ed told me to put my new one in my door jamb but that is just minor tweaks to an excellent restoration. I had a steering wheel wrap on my NOS steering  for 17 years before I decided to take it off for a better look. Bought one on Amazon as the old forum a topic said the ones I bought(bought extras) were REAL CLOSE to the original wraps. I have my eyes on a RED 70 4 speed GT500 vert . Good luck with your purchase. Gary

Can anyone provide me with any insight on where I might go to purchase the steering wheel wrap that most closely resembles the original product? Thanks!

I owned one several years ago and found out very quickly how most people know nothing about these very rare and cool cars (IMHO). Congratulations to the seller and buyer.

Good looking car Andy. I do think the ERA versions are the best looking.

Please don't blow this topic out of proportion!

This attachment/detachment method comes in handy when you don't want cars that you plan on passing to know what just went by them. 

There are a lot of "reportedly" type statements in the write up.  Unless it is true and verified it shouldn't be listed IMO.  Does anyone know anything about this car?

BAT uses that term quite a bit in my opinion and the obvious reason is an attempt to insulate themselves from being accused of stating something as fact that has not been proven to be the case.

I think we're going to be o.k. in Winston-Salem.  Current fcst indicates it's going to turn S at the coast, then head W, then swing up towards Asheville,  here only 4-6 inches of rain and 40-50 mph winds for Sat/Sun. Our basement garage is totally full w/7 cars and, if it starts to flood ours (which I seriously doubt), I've got enough jackstands to get most of them up a foot or more. BTW, Heacock Classic sent out an e-mail offering, if need be, up to $250 to re-locate insured vehicles.  Nice gesture!

Hey Stan -

I have more jack stands available if you were to need them. I am not too far away in Lewisville.

Try to find another one.

I think a few would come out of the woodwork at $80K.

Would love to see how many of these are in the woodwork. They don't surface often.

A return to VIR would be nice.

Part has been found and purchased. Thanks Jim!
