1967 GT500 #0254 coming up to auction at Mecum Kissimee

[Richstang]

Just checked my videotape of the auction. No Rocker Panel Trim on the car when it crossed the block..

Thanks for this note! My previous post has been adjusted/corrected.

Bob Gaines: Weren't all 1967 Shelby Mustangs painted black in the upper and lower scoops? It's missing on this vehicle as well.

Doubt the Black cars got the semi-gloss black in the side scoops, the dark blue cars may have.

The rocker pinch welds were also painted semi-gloss black on all cars with exception to (some?) of the Dark Blue cars and all of the Black cars.

JD: That would be my presumption too.  It wouldn't make sense to paint a black vehicle.... Well, black!  However, this one is WHITE, and looks out of place without the black-out paint.

Yes, I saw that as well as a number of other things, that from a judging stand point would be deducted.  Either the bidders didn't know or don't care.

My reply was confirming your post that the majority of cars did get the scoops insides blacked-out - but black and maybe some dark blue did not - that car being white, yes it should have the insides of the scoops semi-gloss black if the owner/restorer wanted it to be concours correct.

Just saw this.  +1 on JD's #32 post.

I blacked out my medium blue car. It just looks better. However, the scoops were already mounted and sealed to the vehicle when I realized my mistake. It was done mounted. I did it with my airbrush being it was difficult to get some angles.

Maybe I am misinterpreting your response but it reads like maybe you thought you were doing something out of the ordinary. A medium blue car scoops should be blacked out.

Bob, I didn't realize my mistake until you pointed it out. I made myself a lot more work by doing it after mounting and sealing them.

I have some rough pictures I took of the car as it was preparing to cross the block:

BTW - apologies, as I'm not sure why most of the pictures came through rotated 90 degrees.

Should 254 have black underside hood and trunk?
Also Chrome finish head light rings?

[JD]

underside of trunk should be body color, would think this car should have metal frame under fiberglass hood and be all body color.  (As stated earlier many things on this car that are not concours correct)
