1969 BOSS 302 GT 350 Prototype

Exactly how many Shelby's were built after this car? Maybe they were just filling out the orders that were already received.

A few more pics of the car. I guess Jeff didn't add the fog lamps. Notice the front fender antenna? I see there was an owner between  Jeff to Gary Burke so I guess my memory fails me when I thought Gary bought the car off of Jeff. I thought George sold the car to someone in Indiana and Billy bought the car off of Bob. That is assuming the ownership timeline is true.

Well this car is 2244 and mine is 2351 and built on the same day so hard to say with the #s intertwined.

The flaired out rear quarters I remember but my memory tells me more at the top. It says Jeff installed new quarters in 1985 but the car wasn't bad looking in 1984-5 so don't know why he would do it. I only wish Jeff could come on and clear some of this up. To me in the primer pic you can see the roll bar through the back window.

Viewing the original state of the Shelby Boss and now in it's current state. I personally would have done the same, put the all the Shelby fiberglass on it. I think once this car was conceived the intent was that.

Really can't deny the 48 and the G status on this vehicle

My 3 cents....wish I had more than the 3 cents so I could purchase this one

Tony what I know that you don't know is there was no intent. How do I know that? I have friends who have seen paperwork so there was no intent to build it as a Shelby bodied car.

If only we had a copy of the build sheet. I know it's been posted online before, I thought on the SAACforum 1.0, but thinking that maybe it was the VMF or the Boss forum. Wonder if the Ream family has it in their archives?

My dearest and esteemed colleague Gary :

Just want to make sure we are both speaking about the same vehicle

Now on to what is intent?

Having the mind, attention, or will concentrated on something

Layman's version of intent :

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it just may be a duck

This is the VIN  #  9F02G482244 on the vehicle

G = Boss 302

48 = only used on Shelby vehicles

Boy if that's not intent and don't know what is

Let's just move on and remember opinions are just like A........pples
Everyone loves A.......apples

Hey who shot J. R.  ?

Again this is what is shown in the ebay sales add today

What do you think of this paper work and tags ?

I have no dogs in this fight

Would love to have owned this "work of art" and again if it was mine, it would have been the rendition of how it looks currently today.

I would have called this masterpiece  " The Shelby Lisa "

Come on guys if someone can figure out an old 67 GT 500 race car with a lot of nothing why not this car ?

The build sheet is mentioned in the auction. Post a copy of the sheet and the discussion is over. You want 350 large for your car...show the document! Why is not being shown?

This car was endorsed, in writing, by Carroll Shelby, Ford Motor Company, and Edsel B. Ford II as the only 1969 Shelby built with a Boss 302 engine. All 67-69 Shelby cars manufactured by Ford Motor Company had the status number of 84X999. "G48" was B84X999, signifying that it was to be built as a Shelby, except with a Boss 302 drive train as stated on the build sheet with an 84 DSO home office reserve number.

Perhaps the seller has seen this thread and will post the original build sheet for all to see. I'm still digging through old hard drives in search of the picture I saw eons ago.

This has become nothing more then another saac form s#!t show. I don't get what the problem is, this car is not being represented as original, everyone knows the history and what it looked like before and after. It's a G48 nothing more to say. I think it's a great car and converting it to Shelby trim just made it cooler looking, the car is a great part of Ford/Shelby history.
