Did Shelby actually see the car and sign it?

Ugh, has a cheapo, $19.95 air cleaner lid on it!

Anyone know first hand who the "restorers" of #69 might have been, the registry makes no mention of it.

Well someone is going to get 1 0f 562 made, its a 400,000 car I wouldn't worry about an air cleaner.

[J_Speegle]

IF I recall correctly there was a discussion about the car back in 2007 on the forum. Wonder what the radiator is out of that's a might wide and thick one.

Nice car. Replacing the front core support shouldn't be a problem as other sheet metal also needs to be replaced if 'period correct' matters to new owner. Fuel pump and fastener issues more easily resolved.

[sfm5]

There are a number of issues to fix if someone wanted a perfect specimen, but it is a nice looking car and was a high dollar sale at BJ in '08.

[CharlesTurner]

I have record of it being on ebay in 2007 with a buy it now price of $395k

Sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2008, all in at $462k

[sfm5s081]

Hurst shifter and roll bar....

[Rickmustang]

Lots of little opportunities for improvement, but it has the correct 16" steering wheel, which the ad states is 15"
