Continuation 69 shelby?

[shelbymann1970]

For $44,998.50 buy it now I would buy it in a heart beat.  It is a cool tribute car to have fun in . I wouldn't have to worry about damage to my genuine 69 or 70 Shelby getting damage going to the grocery store.   It is not a buy it now but a reserve auction. I do not think it is realistic to think that the dealers reserve is anywhere close to that starting price .

I've seen nice Mach1 M-code cars go for a lot more than the starting price. I also have a friend who a few times tried to sell a Vert clone for around 60K with a no sale. Looks to be a fun car without the fear.

Not defending it...However, as of late, Resto-Mods are bringing more than a lot of original cars. Barrett Jackson and other auctions have shown this. That said, Im not one who would buy such a car...just me. I'm sure someone will pop the big bucks for this one. Time will tell...

Maybe it is the new category of Shelby Licensed Re-Creation or Continuation.  Not sure if that means that it is a vehicle that has a higher cost of modification for someone that does not care about the history and value of the original Shelby American production.

And about that Boss 302 designation.  Is it a Boss 302 V8 from the later 20212-14 series  Boss Mustang or from 1969?

The block # is for a 1970 Boss 302. Can't see the heads to comment further.

When it is a steal like 45 K would be and you buy it it is fun. When you pay stupid money like 150 k would be it takes all the fun out of it.At least for me.

There are cars that some put a different engine into it and do a diff suspension or PS that may be 10-15K in mods then there are the resto mods that 100-300K plus  are sunk into. Those are the "big buck " cars, JMHO.

When I was in HS in the 70s my career goal was not to be a secretary so I never took typing. If only I would have known then what I know now....

At the 2021 MCACN show there were 2 comp red Shelbys there and one is absolutely the coolest in existence. Cool enough for Ed Meyer to once jump on a plane and go see it(according to the owner). drag pack 500 mile car.
