WOW what a statement !!!

Just focusing on the later half
"shows that the plant was in San Jose which was close to the lax facility and the K code for the motor was a destination to a high performance Shelby"

When was San Jose close to Los Angeles?  (it was really Milpitas nor San Jose Distance between the two about 400 miles

And a "K" code for the motor means it was .... 


Got to love or hate BAT

I think he meant to say "last batch" not "lost batch" regardless this is exactly how misinformation is spread and other informed people latch on to it.

Arguing about if this the last car actually built is silly in my mind. There are obviously some people ( informed or not ) that value the highest number

Its time to cue up 1968 #1 my friend...

If the last 66 is at $250,000 with fees...
....What is a Shelby with #0001 worth?

You thought two fiddy was high, well its at $263K and 17 hours still left in the 3rd quarter.

This is going to be one helluva fairy tale ending

Wondering if the buyer will pay in "cash money"......

The underside of this thing kinda reminds of the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere buried a half-century ago and unearthed in '07 out in Tulsa.

I remember that thing

I will not comment on the current $263k bid or what the car is or is not. That train is on autopilot 

I will comment that I am surprised that nobody on BaT (or here) has researched the BaT seller. His history with the Cunningham LeMans Corvette, Key Bank and NextGear financial judging by a simple Google search and what was published in many articles in Sports Car Market by Legal Files columnist John Draneas is interesting reading.

Certainly I'd suggest the winning bidder, if there is one, complete this transaction with a trusted escrow service. Which, is good advice with any high dollar car from an unknown seller, right?

Attached is a screenshot from one of the SCM articles. Also, since the seller owned this GT350 prior to these proceedings, was it declared as an asset? If not would the creditors have a claim to the car or sale proceeds? I'm not an attorney but it seems maybe that's a question one would ask.

Should be a fascinating and entertaining conclusion in any event!

I'm impressed you found out so much. I see the seller. A private seller so how did you find out who he was? Dealers are easy for the most part. Kudos on your sleuthing.

Shelbymann I'd like to take credit for being tenacious but it is nothing of the sort. If you watch the Hagerty video posted his name is on the screen...I purchased a 289 Cobra from him years ago and it was a far more exciting transaction than I had hoped for. Lol. Others here have had similar experiences. Also, I had friends involved in the Cunningham Corvette saga, unfortunately. So we can all speak from experience.

Thanks. I guess a lesson here is if you bid on a car like that, contact the seller. Get to know a little about the seller(Name, address and phone number for an in person chat) and then proceed.

The Cunningham Corvette debacle, and all those involved, is a legend in the Corvette world, along with several other faked "rare" cars, etc.
