To many one of the worst case scenarios is a rebody. Unfortunately it has been done before. Ones  had been done when these cars were not worth much because it was an easier route to go then mass sheet metal replacement from rust or an accident.back decades ago those doing it didn't know what we know now. There are sometimes clues. I like to check the easy areas like in the trunk where the trunk hinges bolt up and see the stamped date codes. They are also on the inner trunk corner pieces. Next is running changes. Pete's excellent site offers a section on running changes. We have seen cars for sale where the factory assembly doesn't match the vin/ build date of the car by the running changes.the shock towers also lend clues as to a possible rebody. That is why to me if you are not a knowledgable ( don't need to be an expert) person on these cars an expert nspection is recommended.this is a good start on knowing more about these cool cars. http://www.thecoralsnake.com/Productionchanges.html

Are you implying this vehicle is a rebody?

I told people to do their homework on cars(any 6 figure Shelby )  and an expert inspection is always wise so , no, I will not say this car or any other car is without an in person inspection from an expert. That would be reckless. So Tony, did you take my advice and go to Pete's site and learn about these cars? Instead of asking anyone that question do your homework and get educated to make your own informed decision on any Shelby car( in this case 68s).this car here has already been bid past its Hagerty valuation  so I'm sure the bidders have done their due diligence and will end up with a nice cruiser.

Not referring to this exact car or the posts from Real Experts on this car, which is very appreciated.

However, some other people on this forum just like to comment.... Is there a prize for the most comments???

Assuming most of them are meaningless???
