5S250 - on BAT

[SFM5S159]

I wish I could get additional info on this car, I just don't know where to look out side the registries.  I've been seriously considering taking a run at a 65 but this car really speaks to me.  I've been spending allot of time on the track these days in my 13 BOSS 302s and a 65 track car like this would check so many boxes.  Way more affordable then a fully restored award winner and I'd be less concerned with driving/tracking it.

I'd just like to know more of it's history and any additional info that might be available.  Anyone, anyone, class, anyone??

I don't have any info on this particular car, but I vintage raced and participated in a lot of open track events with an original '65 GT350 for several years.  It was heavily modified for racing at that time, I can tell you it was by far the most fun I ever had in a car!  More so than my Cobra, Ferrari's and several other vintage cars.  Go for it.  It's a blast to run around in an authentic '65 GT350 that is loud and bad-ass.  Wish mine was still in race trim.  Wasn't worth as much then, but the fun I had was truly worth more than the money.  Buy it and drive it!

Wow, they didn't take $261K, you gotta wonder what reserve was on this.

$400 +.

$261k was good offer IMHO for a race car with a '65 Shelby tag 😁

Agreed, the seller is just not realistic about the current market for highly modified old race cars.

I tend to agree also, I valued mine at $175k-$200k in race trim...But this car was being sold with the original engine I think, that's worth a bump to a lot of people...

Did anyone see the right apron Shelby VIN stamping? Is Lenny Shabes still around?

I take it your cars original engine is long gone?

Do you have any pictures of your car?
