Should the shock towers not have the welded washers on top?
Rad hose clamps?

1967, no Koni's, no washers, no drop.

Yes, the hose clams are wrong.

On some 67 there were washers on some not. We already had this in a thread.

The unrestored 67's I've seen have lacked the washers on the beehives, I wonder how often they are added during restoration. I see no point for them without the suspension mods but who knows maybe some got them.

If you are implying that no 67's got them because the unrestored 67's you have seen didn't have them then you are mistaken. Many 67 Shelby's got them. FYI the reinforced beehive (upper shock bracket) were meant  to be used (part of the basic specifications) on all 1965-70 Shelby's not just 1967. 66 and 67 saw a number of interruptions in usage .Why there was a interruption in usage is still unsure. How important they were as a Shelby modification is debatable.

I appreciate how owners like to cherry pick pricing information.

Not only that the owner says most of those (440K?) restorations had much higher mileage, more owners and older restos. HUH? That car's resto is over 20 years old(still looks great in pics). I just saw a much more recent Brown resto sell for 295K in nightmist(we all pretty much did).

Its always the guys who have only ever had one car to sell who snort the coke before listing their car...this specific seller actually put this car on a facebook group I follow called "Wholesale Car Club". I follow the group mostly for the comedic value. The 67 was listed for this same price and I about fell out of my chair laughing.  Its about 2x of "wholesale" if such a thing even existed on these cars.

Hi Bob, that's just what I've seen, I am sure you have seen more.

[Coralsnake]

Its a nice looking car, however...

Its also not really a fair comparison to compare a 2002 restoration to a newer restoration. That point seems to have escaped the seller as well.

If someone did pay $200,000 for the restoration, I feel a bit sorry for them. Thats the equivalent of almost $330,000 today. If it was a really nice car to start with, someone got robbed. Just my opinion, there seems to be some inconsistencies...
