First, thank you SAAC and the REGISTRARS for the invaluable role you play protecting the gene pool of original Shelby cars. There are maybe 50 reproduction Cobras, Daytona Coupes and GT40s on offer from Superformance and Factory Five ready to drive home today. In addition, there are numerous "tributes" to Shelby Mustangs ready to go through the auction. Without SAAC and the Registrars, the gene pool of Shelbys would be a mosh pit.
Second, Craig Jackson and Jason Billups gave an hour long talk on Tuesday about both the Green Hornet and Little Red. Jason's shop is in NE Oklahoma and they restored the Green Hornet and are now working on Little Red. If you have read up on the Green Hornet and finding Little Red on the SAAC Forum and elsewhere, really nothing new was revealed yesterday other than we can look for a documentary on the restoration of the Green Hornet in April or May of this year. Jason said that the son of the man who installed the Conelec system came and set up the Conelec on the Green Hornet. If I recall correctly, the son was present and helped his father with the original install and to see the car roll again after many years was a moving experience. The Green Hornet was on prominent display in the "Craig's Cars" area just outside the auction tent.
Jason is a very nice guy, very approachable and I asked him after the talk if they had decided yet which iteration of Little Red they would chose for the restoration. He said that had not been decided yet but said Craig Jackson told him he wanted the coolest looking version but also the fastest version. I am throwing out my personal guess that it may be the 1967 look with inboards combined with the super-charged engine???
Jeff
I have spoken to both Jason and Craig, I would put my money on the 1967 version with at least one supercharger.
;D

So Pete, with all your expertise in many things Shelby, do you think that is a faithful, historical restoration?
QSS
You are speaking of the Green Hornet?
Full disclosure, I was involved and assisted in the EFI installation.
Based on the current and most recent research, it is correct as it can be.
I thought QSS meant "Little Red" as he quoted you on.
Tonight I saw a 2007 GT500 with 113 miles sell for $41K + fees = $45K. This is a 12 year old brand new car. Do you suppose the selling owner is crying? I expect they lost money (assuming they are the original purchaser). Heck of a deal for the buyer. IIRC, when these early late model brand new GT500's were sold new, they came with a hefty dealer markup. Was it $60 to $70 for one of these cars back then? Crazy. Drive'm and enjoy them.

Probably needed to hold onto it longer. I'm sure the seller, if the original owner, took a big loss... not even factoring in inflation.
Little Red... the car had several variations. Craig has collected some insane, unseen photos. He has also interviewed one of the guys that built the car at SA
As a test mule, these cars could have had anything done to them. Paxtons, webbers, tunnel ports, trick suspensions, you name it, these are the things most of us dream of and are what really becomes day two stuff. Would I kick these cars to the curb because it was not assembly line correct, OH MY- most definitely not... Craig and the BJ gang love true performance cars as do many of us. Cant wait to here what he is doing to it. :D

On cars like this since it had several variations you need to pick a point in time to restore it to.

I think that the issue is it is better known in 67 garb?
With any prototype/engineering car, when it comes to restoration, it's the owner's choice as to what point in time to put it back as. This can be tricky as there may have been future mods that may have required such things as additional holes or modification of the body/parts.
Without choosing a point in time for the restoration, it just gets confusing and hard to explain.

I paid just under $50,000 for my '07 when I bought it, $5000 over MSRP. In the Northwest it seemed like most dealers were charging around $10,000 over so I felt mine was a decent buy at the time. I wanted a car to buy new and never part with. It now has over 50,000 miles on it and is probably worth less than half of what I paid for it, but I'm okay with that. I knew it was going to depreciate, and I never plan on selling it so it doesn't matter. Personally when people were buying these cars thinking they were investments I thought they were nuts. I would have recommended going out and buying a '68 or '69 GT350 or a classic car of some type that wouldn't have been too much more at the time and already had a history of appreciation. At least then they could have driven it and enjoyed it a bit rather than leaving it in the garage and staring at it while it depreciated........
2007 GT500 is not a rare Mustang nor part of a rare series of Shelby named cars. Still an amazing value for a 500 HP or more car and fun to drive, but not a collector car with tens of thouse=ands prduced over the 2007-14 series. Save the new car plastic wrap for the garage floor and drive it for fun. 8)

No crying from me. I just value your opinion. I would rather hear from you on how it should be restored rather than from Craig Jackson. He's a "used car salesman" through and though. Yes he has a passion for Shelby's but he would tell you anything to pump up the value of what is in his possession.
I would rather hear the opinion/truth from an
enthusiast first and a salesman second. The enthusiast, who happens to have an excess of knowledge, will tell you as it is. The salesman will just sugar coat it.
QSS
Kerry - based on the Craig Jackson's demeanor at the Green Hornet/Little Red symposium on Tuesday, I would bet no new pictures or information will be released. It was clear Craig wants to gin up interest in the documentary to make some $$$. I don't fault him for wanting to cash in on these cars, but I do hope that anyone and everyone who has a picture or a story or a part that belongs to the Green Hornet or Little Red SELLS it to Craig for top dollar as he is going to turn around and use it for his own profit.

QSS
To say that it should be restored to the final version, using how it was found as that criteria doesn't solve the problem definitively either.
Take for example how the Green Hornet was found. It had been stripped of things like the Conelec and the IRS. Is that the final version? Not really but there needs to be a Referee on clarification and we are presuming that in fact we know the last configuration the car was in while "the factory" still had it. IMO it isn't necessarily completely black and white.
I think that is just part of deciding to what KNOWN period the car can be restored to.
There are other non-"Shelby Mustang" cars as of recent this applies to. The 289 Cobra that Steve Juliano restored, Shelby's CSX 3015, the GT40 "Roadster" that started as a coupe, that they just cut the roof off of. So it isn't as black and white as it seems. Someone in authority needs to make a judgement on that.

^^^ yes
As much as I personally would prefer to see it built in the original configuration;
(Magstars, inboard slanted grille, body color painted taillight panel, and quite likely NO vinyl roof as it was delivered from San Jose)
I suspect it will be restored to the second version as we all have seen in the early LLTC B&W photos dated 7/7/67.
Most of us will just have to wait until the Nov (MCACN?), assuming it gets completed by then.

We watched the 500 mile '93 Cobra R with interest. Hammered for $120K + buyer's premium. My wife and I bought two of them when they first came out, watched the prices run up decided to sell rather than stuff them away. My big regret was passing on an opportunity to purchase STEEDA's '93 R Model test mule. Oh, well...hindsight's clearer than foresight.

sammy hagars 67 gt500 just sold for $100k

In 2006, was a charity involved with the sale? That usually send numbers way up beyond expectations.
I think at that time, Sammy was giving away a bunch of swag with the car. This time, Sammy's ownership is in the distant past.

I am in Scottsdale and looked at it. Automatic, mediocre restoration, replacement block engine, repro VIN tag. Still weak money in my opinion. A good example of my observation that only examples without issues are going to command big money, as high end buyers typically shun such cars.
I also noted that the inventory at R&S has fewer high quality original spec cars of all kinds like we saw there in years past. This was the only genuine Shelby in their sale. Plus there is lots of modified stuff. This is being reflected in the prices.
Ouch, the owner of Hagar's car is $150,000 in the red. That's what I call a Red Rocker of a trade.
This car was behind ropes so hard to get a look at it, but from the picture board, if i recall correctly, there was not much original Shelby left on this Shelby. It had been modded out extensively with total replacement of the drive-line and a color change from blue to red for starters. Just my opinion, but even at $100,000, I would consider this car "well sold."

Brand new car says it all. No race history for the breed, really not a CS car it was fully developed by SVT and had CS added to gin up sales, lots of them available (in reality compared to 60s cars), will need $100s in work to become a driver, those collectors who want a low mile statue in their collection already have one.
130 for the Series 1 did surprise me. They were never street legal as the DOT crash and emissions work was never completed. I suspect the announcement of a Series 1 kit car a few months ago brought this one up.

No he took the tax donation deduction when he bought it. Problem is did he take 100% of the purchase price? That would be illegal since he now sold it for 100 his deduction should have been only 150 not the 250 he paid - unless he donates the 100 somewhere too.
The low-mid price cars seemed to be cheaper this year. I wonder if it's a Trump effect where people are making money on wall street so they aren't betting on the classic car market as much.

That white b9 was a car i had bought for local air-ride technology owner because he wanted a modified car headers & all. That car was stolen at one time & is missing lots of its original parts & drivetrain & is driver quality condition. We paid 125 for it & he had it for sale at 160 with no buyers so he traded it to BJ for another car so it was a BJ co. car & bj has a used car showroom that they sell & trade cars around in phoenix area somewhere. So the new buyer paid 150 or so with all the juice & that $ stayed in the house the way i see it if its a company car. Just sayin but not sure it works that way.

I was at the auction and saw this car (with the hood up) Like Ed said it was missing alot of original parts. That car sold for what it was worth the way it sat.
Red '66 GT350 hammered for $130K and, right after it, a Hertz went for $140K. Kinda soft numbers. Were there issues? I guess with that audience, had they been resto-modded, they might've brought more.
No mention in the write ups of original drive train or how much of the sheet metal was original in those two 66's. You would think those things would have been mentioned if either was substantially original, so maybe that held those back.
The red GT350 doesn't have its original engine but all original sheet metal, except the hood, per the Registry. Registry also mentions that there
was no indication that traction bars were ever installed but on the block, Steve M. pointed out underriders. A pretty nice car, I thought.
Did others see the 1965 Mustang VIN 0002? It was at Mecum Indy in 2017. I saw it and the bidding got to $300K and it was a no sale. The estimate was $450-$600K.

I get the fact that it is a low VIN car, but it wasn't #001. It is a six banger, stick, plain jane Mustang coupe. Unless it is going in a museum or someone just wants bragging rights, I am not sure why someone would pay more $175k, let alone $300k.

It's not the first car off the line and it's not a hot performance optioned car. It certainly looks sharp in the Dark Blue / medium Blue interior but it's #0002.

Car hammered at $250k - period. Fees added an additional $25k. They're not the same. Conversely, the seller sold the car for $225k.

Another thing Steve M. mentioned was how in 1966 the GT350s had clutch pack differentials instead of the lockers used in 1965. Ouch! But at least that's not something you could simply look and verify. One of the other commentators informed the TV viewers about the NON functional side scoops. And, yes, he emphasized the "NON" part of that. Apparently the camera guy knew better and tried to get a shot inside the scoop, but there was not enough light to see the hole for the ducting in the side panel.
A bit disappointing, but not the first time I've heard them giving incorrect information about a Shelby.
Steve S.
They have so much incorrect information all the time.
When the Ford GTX crossed the block they state there were 110 built but I believe the correct # built was around 32.
I guess they live by the motto "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit". ;D

The Guardsman blue '66 GT350 (B/Prod.) race car, Lot #1306.1 sold for 115K ($126,500) all in.
Similar to the car you just bought.

Similar year, different color (mine is Sapphire blue) #1306.1 was pretty much period correct. Mine has updated full roll cage, onboard extinguisher, etc to meet current SVRA standards.
Here are the FINAL SCCA points results for BP in the Northeastern Division for 1967-1970. (I can't vouch for any other history for lot #1306.1 beyond these years):
1967:
1st in points-Bob Fryar-Sting Ray-40 pts.
2nd in points-F.G. Fisher-Cobra 289-35 pts.
3rd in points-Tom Dutton-Corvette-31 pts.
4th in points-Martin Krinner-Mustang GT 350-28 pts.
5th in points-Donald Blatchley-Sting Ray-26 pts.
6th in points-Jim Sutter-Cobra 289-12 pts.
7th in points-Yale Kneeland-Mustang GT 350-11 pts.
There are a total of 23 participants in 1967 that scored at least 1 point (I'm not going to list the 8th-23rd points scorers....I'll just list all of the point scorers up to and including Yale Kneeland.) All of the spellings (Cobra 289, Mustang GT 350....etc. are how they are listed in the SCCA Club magazines....all though I know as incorrect otherwise, and not listed as (Shelby GT 350, etc.).
1968:
1st in points-Gene Fisher-Cobra 289-49 pts.
2nd in points-Lou Statser-Corvette-48 pts.
3rd in points-Jim Sypherd-GT 350-30 pts.
4th in points-Tom Dutton-Sting Ray-22 pts.
5th in points-John Orr-Sting Ray-20 pts.
Tied for 6th in points-Ken Duclos-Corvette-15 pts.
Tied for 6th in points-Donald Blatchley-Corvette-15 pts.
8th? in points-Raymond Menapace-GT 350-12 pts.
9th? in points-Yale Kneeland-9th pts.
I'm not sure on how the SCCA places points positions if there is a tie in points....it may be determined by in region scored points vs. out of region or it may be that since both scored the same amount of points on the season as in Ken and Donald that they are credited for both finishing in 6th and the 7th position is left open (so on the 1968 season, Yale either finished 7th overall in points or 8th overall in points?
1969:
1st in points-Dick Stockton-Cobra 289-54 pts.
2nd in points-Fred Brandt-Sting Ray-37 pts.
3rd in points-Alex Cameron-Corvette-35 pts.
4th in points-John Orr-Corvette-27 pts.
5th in points-Donald Blatchley-Sting Ray-20 pts.
6th in points-Yale Kneeland-GT 350-15 pts.
1970:

2nd in points-John Orr-Corvette-36 pts.
