Um he means the under dash gauges which aren't even close....

[Coralsnake]

Correct, both of the gauges in the console have been changed.

I dont think I have denegrated the owner, the car or the fact it was "found". I am merely pointing out the people who are either misinformed, ignorant or willfully misrepresenting the car. ..and now that they have been checked, they dont like it and have chosen to go on personal attacks.

[557]

I think the car,if truly rust free ,would be a good start for someone wanting to restore..However ,to me,it doesn't seem to be a great example of a "day two" car...Generally that would involve more performance upgrades/modifications..Frankly with this example(based on pics)it seems more likely that stuff just broke (later as opposed to in period)and got replaced with what was available...Mio due Euro.......

Pics are on the first page of this topic.

dont know how to say this so i am just going to say it....neither  of our cars have original air in the tires.

stop, they dont even have original tires......the shame is real...

then in a real heavy accent they heard;  OH NO LAWRENCE ! THAT CAN NOT BE TRUE !

Topblissgt.....I think your statements "Bill, I am actually looking to buy it" and then changing to "I never wanted this car"  makes you seem very insincere if not down right misleading.  I know, you don't care...yada,yada,yada. 

Being that you don't own the car stop defending it as I don't see anyone attacking it.  It seems like a good unrestored driver and no one, including you (unless you are the original owner that drove it from the lot) knows if it is the original paint.  Does it matter, to some yes and to most no. 

The people on here are knowledgeable and some know exactly what screw, type, tread, color etc... should be on every inch of a Shelby so unless you do, take their comments as constructive.  No one is saying the car is junk or a POS, but it is not a time capsule and I hope the new owner runs the wheels off of it!

[Coralsnake]

We can say some of it has been repainted. I just noticed the black tail light panel....

[KR Convertible]

Oh, that stood out right away, and the old style oil fill on the intake.

.    Well when I bought my 67 in 82 it had an original speedway 350(bald)on an original mag star (rusty)as a spare in the trunk...had some air in it then,and still does....so....you never know

Another couple ?s come to mind on this one.A.Original motor?and(more importantly)B.Does that thing run?

[Topblissgt]

Im free to defend any car i want whether I own it or not. I was not aware you have to own a car to defend it, which is odd because the people who are criticizing it don't own it,  but that seems to be ok

Correct. I think someones upset their unrealistic expectation of the price, wasnt accepted by the estate. Now they have backed themselves into a corner and have no way to save face.

Defend on, my good man, defend on....I see a " you guys are all aholes" coming....

Apparently not. This is what an unmoderated forum looks like.
