A restomod candidate.
Shelby lowrider ready to burn the streets.
It hurts just to look at the pics. :'(
Stick a fork in it, it's done
wow, SAD. The hood springs are not even salvageable.
From a Guns n Roses video? Oh wait, that was a 66 G.T. 350H (though the one that took the plunge was not a Shelby).
Three things:
I hope the occupants were ok
I hope they had good insurance
I hope this vin does not end up on another car

Maybe Mark Worman can fix it. He did a 71 HEMI Cuda.
Man, it sure does. Damn hard to look at.

Wouldn't be hard to spin a story (a plausible one) about how an enraged wife torched it because the husband was spending too much on the Shelby and not enough on her. Or in the alternative, was paying the Shelby too much attention.
Or he was cheating on her....and got caught.
Or vice versa and she exacted revenge on him for prying into her private affairs. This is the world in which we now live.
Would make the ultimate backyard fire pit/bbq grill IMHO ;D

. Thank God MY wife knows better........ ;)
Up for auction today Last time i looked its at 1,100 Did anyone check to see if its a real shelby or clone
No sign of any of the fiberglass body parts. Burned during a restoration or in salvage?
Give it a year and it will look like brand new. Wouldn't be the first one ;)

inner metal structure of fenders presents indicates fiberglass was burned up. logical conclusion all of the other parts would be too. It would be a good starting point for a restomod . I would rather see something like that used to bring this car back to life rather then a unburned up car.
If only people were honest Bob. At least the vin has been exposed when it does come back we'll know. It would be a dangerous car "if" it does as all the heat treatment is GONE.

I am sure fearless mongo has the VIN already documented. That is why restomod is best for its future. Of course i am sure there are those out there that think that those numbers are not tracked .
Mongo is going to post the "burn photo" in the next 1969-70 Registry under that v.i.n!

Mongo RULES!!!!!

"They're coming to get you Barbara."
Great obscure reference, Richard. NOTLD is still one of may favorite horror movies.
Johnny and Barbara were in a '66 Pontiac LeMans.
The farm truck caught fire. The LeMans crashed its driver side into a tree.

It is about to donate the necessary numbers and paperwork to "create" its' rebirth from some "re-body" clone thing. What does one think the current seller is counting on! And then it will be dumped into the market place for an unknowing if only casual purchaser. >:(

If Mongo the Magnificent prints the Kripy Kritters current photos in the next registry, stick a fork in it, it's done !

It is also the intro on Graveyard carz latest season. Mark is a movie buff. So those familiar with the show have heard that phrase countless times lately.
^^^ Oh...I've never seen that show.

I'm wondering if it wasn't in a structure fire and the building collapsed on it?
I think IT was the structure fire... :D

Bidding got to 5,300 The reserve was not met. Copart is rerunning it. So get your bids in. Almost complete Shelby for under 10k ? LOL

It may not be illegal to auction off scrap, but with a reserve in excess of the obvious scrap metal value, it makes one wonder: aren't they (Copart) with the successful sale of this........thing, going to be complicit in the illegal activity of, although will be lauded as something else, but more simply and accurately described as "V.I.N. swapping"? :o
The legal train of thought here is as follows; in the process where one party purchases a "thing" from another for far less than the apparent true value, then the receiving party may perhaps have the responsibility of being concerned as to whether the selling party actually has legal title to such. And failure here depending on further circumstances may get one a free ride wearing some not so comfortable bracelets on the taxpayer's dime. So if, in this case Copart, who should be very knowledgeable as to the true market value of scrap, chooses to market this thing for a multitude in excess of its' true scrap value, who are they attempting to do business with? ::)
Scott.

Wouldn't that be the same as saying Bass Pro Shop is also guilty if someone shoots someone using a Gun they just Bought from them the day before?

Not a all! :)
Now, perhaps if they chose to sell "Saturday-Night-Specials" for multitudes of their true market value, say 'on line' ('FREE' freight to L.A. or Chicago! ::) ), with the illusion, but not the statement, that they are going to fail to process, or just loose the paperwork (ATF Form 4473), making the weapon untraceable,..............well, who do you think they would be attempting to do business with? :-\
It's not just the act of having sold the product that may at some point in the unforeseen future be involved in an illegal act, but rather the perceived intent of the practice in the act, and the fact of the change this may have in the business relationship and with whom. This does prove to be somewhat of a difficult subject to define, but 'REASONABLE' interpretation is what is required, this from an educated, moral and just society, which we may be suffering from the loss of at this point. :(
I think, and I'm willing to bet as do many others, that the only reason someone is willing to pay something far greater than the normally anticipated value for, and that for what purpose the seller has placed the auction reserve of, is not the "scrap", but rather the added value of the............ paper-work,............ which this value is capitalized upon by doing what illegal act?! ::)
Scott.
So, as a young kid in Fort Worth, there was a guy with a red 68 who (for some unknown reason) painted "Krispy Kritter" on the back-side of the rear spoiler...much like you would see on a boat... This one clearly deserves that moniker...
I like the term WELL DONE ... Literally and figuratively.
