Looks like some parts were taken off before the insurance company adjuster showed up. If you have stated value on a car and take parts off of it before the adjuster shows up is that OK? Did the parts disappear between payout and 14 months to this point.  Asking for a friend.  Too bad the parts are gone. Car doesn't run without the Shelby console in there unless rewired but don't think it will start anyways...

Is there any other info. out there on this one-number match, rust, panel swaps, previous owners etc.

Rule #1.....always have a fire extinguisher in your car......both personal car and collector car

I have personally put out 3 car fires ( others) in the last 5-7 years.

Back seat on the floor. I got 4 in my garage at home. Check gas line hoses periodically.

Not a difficult restoration, surprised it was written off.

Agreed, would be surprised if damage is a third of its original value, even replacing parts and rebuilding motor

Since it was FLA-SAAC's car maybe Tony can shed some light. Maybe not as he might be bidding on it. Only a few hours north of him in crappy Ft Pierce(stay on the Island portion when visiting).

If that was my car it would have been fixed by now .

or you could have 20000 posts on a forum that are useless. 


life is about picking your path .

Agreed on the 20k posts-that aside, all I'm asking for is whether anyone on this Forum has any relevant info. on knowledge on the car before I do/don't decide to bid.  The listing and pics are terrible and I don't know the auction house.

Have you checked with the 69/70 SAAC registrar?
As for the pictures, while not the greatest, I see some items not stock or original to the car, and may have been done before the last owner had the car, or during their ownership.

Doing that as we speak.

Has anyone confirmed if the car has a salvage or clear title? Their assistant only answered that it was on the page. All I see is asterisks next to title. Update I created a profile and it came back as Salvage/rebuildable title. 

[Coralsnake]

The Florida salvage title lists it as "rebuildable". I don't think its a big deal considering its documented now.

The vendors retail value is laughable. I wonder what their reserve is?

Funny that all we hear from Florida is crickets.
