Barn find

[cboss70]

Sounds like an interesting car. No allusive pictures still huh- I can understand why, most would want to let all the swamp water drain out of the interior, get the mud cleaned off before they assembled it with Craigslist parts for its first "as found" pictures LOL. Obviously I'm just kidding, I had trouble with the old site so understand you pain. Coralsnake has a great site with info and is fun to read as you begin your journey into Shelby ownership. The research, history and then the rebuilding process is the fun stuff (and often more rewarding then the investment angle).

I hope you get the car - sounds like an amazing find with lots of desirable spare parts.  If you are thinking about making a buck and are really not into this for the long term you should consider selling it now before investing any money into it.  There are a handful of people on this sight who would be able to buy it from you and put some cash in your pocket.  It would be their dream car.   Good luck!

We have tried multiple times to attach photos.  Have resized, used different browsers and every time it says file full.   No option to attach a drop box file.

What size do the photos need to be.  Nothing in the search section or posting that gives photo size and it will not upload photos.  Please send requested information or an email where a drop box link could be sent.

I get an error message.

"The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator."

What I expected to happen was to get a message that informed me that my picture was a .... size and it exceeds the maximum of ....

IF I get that information, I can then reduce the size of the picture in Windows picture viewer, save the file, then attach it again to my post.

So far with the new system it has been working. We are going to need Computerworks to look at this and tell us if it is just a glitch in the system or if the program memory for SAACforum.com has already reached it's maximum capacity.

He's the onlyone who would know? He Ron?  Guess what?

Hi Guys,

I have been trying for some time to get the photos posted with no success. I have put together a "Drop box" file with a good number of photos. I am no longer going to try to post on this Site. If you wish to see the photos of the 68 KR, I will sent them to any E mail site of your choosing.

Regards,

Dear Scott,

I agree with you completely.

Host your pictures on a free hosting site like Imageshack, Imagur, Tinypic or google.

Each picture will have it's own address which you can paste into a post to have an instant large image.

Had to do the same thing on the old site.

Trivia about the above '67 GT500 photo:

That's George Elliott, then-Editor of Popular Hot Rodding, with the "I'm just casually wrenching on the engine" pose typical of car mag writers the world over.

Years later (1982-87) he was my boss during my time at PHR.  (By then, he had become Executive VP/Publisher.)

George is an accomplished drag racer, motorcycle racer, tech writer, photographer, editor, former president of SEMA, and great all-around guy.  He's still in the car biz, today.

How many KR fastbacks are selling for $170-180,000?

WOW If KR fastbacks are selling for $180K  then mine might be available. I'll even throw in a gallon of Sherwin-Williams WT6066.

Hmm   $180K - $75K for a 427 Cougar = still a profit

Thanks for posting the pictures. Much appreciated. Have fun with your project.

If it were mine I would be tempted to NOT wash that exterior- looks awesome like that! Great project.
