The bigger problem is the hit to market value. The Shelby market seems heavily biased towards correct and removing cleaning the frame is going to require a complete disassembly which will be every bit of 50k.

So there was a long term owner. I'm trying to find out for a friend if it is the original engine in the car? The owner has not answered that. If I was a buyer I'd think more about the body condition and I've owned a few California cars and they all have been great underneath and easy to take part compared to Midwest cars. But I'm not. A friend is and he takes stock in if it has it's numbers matching engine in it. If I'm selling a 6 figure car for myself or a friend I'd have my ducks in a row before listing it. But to each his own. Seller could be losing out if he doesn't answer some questions in the next 2 days. I'm just glad my friend didn't wait to ask me on the last day.

Honestly i hope for the buyer price will reflect the work that need to be done to get this car back to original statut,don't forget  this car suppose to be white too ...painted red in 1986 i guess you can expect some adging on the paint too.I would inspect this car in person before bidding on it , ho wait , i would inspect every Shelby before bidding on it !!

BAT bidders would disagree!!

color change, I have a 66 that was white and should be red, a simple paint job has been huge rig-a-row that took the fun out of it. NEVER again

I inspected this Shelby at Fontana Raceway when I attended SAAC-30. Yes, there are some issues
already observed by people on BAT, and I would encourage anyone who is a serious buyer to have it professionally inspected. You will be glad that you were proactive. (As you would any other Shelby at an expensive price)

Bid to $170,000.   Reserve not met.

Deal made after bid - Winning offer: $175,000

I believe that the seller didn't know anything about the past restoration, and before resto photos. Some bidders and watchers made comments which were eventually dismissed. Seller did very well. I suspect the new buyer will have it professionally inspected soon.

NO matter what we all feel the price should be... The market has spoken and is continuing to climb. If someone will charge 50k to detail the bottom of a car, show them how you feel that they are number 1 in your book, CRAZY!
