they are talking about the last carry-over sales at 313000 $ expecting this one doing more ! well, if two fellows want it hard maybe but i wouldn't bet on it !
I've never seen Magnums like that before but I like them
Let's see what it brings....

The Hemmings author Kurt Ernst needs an education. SFM6"R" ???? Nope. Detroit Locker and No Spin are one in the same. I'll stop there. Articles like this are how MANY misconceptions are created. Hemmings is well respected and now "I saw it in Hemmings" makes this stuff "fact" in less knowledgeable people who repeat it to others.

comment section at the bottom of the page. Good opportunity to set the record straight.

Looks like someone tried to copy the look of Magnums used on 69 Boss 302's
Wow I wondered what happened to this car. Didn't know Bob died in May. He lived about a mile away from me in Andover, Ma. Both of us were die hard Shelby guys. He had a new 68 GT500KR. A few years later we were both looking for a 65/66 GT 350s. I remember when Bob got it home.. I have to say he was the fussiest guy in the world ! Bob had pics of the blue 66 GT 350 convertible I bought in 74. This guy had a lot of pics. A year later I bought a 427 Cobra an he got a 289. He moved a while ago to Maine. I went to NH. Lost track of him but always wondered about him.
Now will this make a new record for a carry over?
I thought the last carry over to sell at auction was not long ago for over $400,000
More fuel for the Carryover madness. ???

Funny thing that you don't hear much from the folks from the old forum that used to say "a 66 is a 66".

over 300K , it's the 65'S territory price and i think it was an exception , two guys really wanted a shelby on same time , a carry over is still a 66 .... ;D

Sale is coming up quick !! Thought about buying it but just to dam old. Wanted to go watch but you know how that goes. Like looking at a puppy ... Then ya come home with them. ;D
I was interested in the hype that they were spinning on the documentation for the car saying it was one of the most documented. I did get a kick out of the hand written black magic marker "VOID" written on the owners manual pages meant to simulate the red ink stamp "VOID for GT350" that was in a original Shelby owners. Talk about a poor counterfeit. It made me wounder if the owner had sourced the manual from Pookie :o given the use of the magic marker like he uses. ;D Best of luck with the auction . It should do well.
I re read the article which reads like an excuse for all of the non original modifications made to it. Watch for more voided owners manuals "done by the salesman" to appear. BTW I'm out looking for SFM"6"R xxx with the optional Detroit Locker OR No Spin. I hope it has a "blue" engine. Sarcastic ? Yes guilty as charged.
Seriously, I too hope the car does well!! Low miles and nice paperwork trail. The mods can be corrected if the new owner chooses to.
Randy
Yep, I like that car too. I'd keep all the changes, including the duck tail spoiler. Well, all except the wheels. I'd probably replace those with Torq Thrust. It will be interesting to see how well it does at auction considering most of the car money is probably in Monterey this week.
Steve
well today is the day !! to bad no auction streaming :(
$291K with fees
Sooo all the experts in here. ;D Was that a good price for the car ? I thought it was but my knowledge is stuck in the 70's.
Good money. And, 6S180 sold last night at RM for $335,500 all in.

Were you there, Bret? I'm interested to see how the bidding progressed.
Towards the end, the bidding came down to a phone bidder and a bidder on the floor. From what I understand, the phone bidder won. Hammer price $265k.
6S144 was by no means a low mileage pristine car. Some may like to leave it like it is, but there had been a lot of things done over the years. The car may be best served to be completely restored. It would be a great base for a concours or possibly thoroughbred/division 1 restoration.
Thanks Charles - Good to have boots (and eyes) on the ground - in person.
Hi all - I bought 6S144 at Owls Head and I couldnt be happier about it. The car and all its paperwork, stories and care taken over the years is amazing. Craig Conley has just finished the engine rebuild and some general updates that she needed. I am leaving the spoiler on as I have the receipt from 1968 for its purchase from Harr Ford in all the documents that the original owner kept and at this point I love that it is part of the cars story. We yanked those later mags off right away and am going to run it on a couple different styles to see what I like best for this car. Currently have an orig set of 10spokes on it, ran it on torq thrusts for a bit before that and as soon as I have the complete steel set we will try them out. ( I also own 6S1147 and she has orig gray painted magnums) I brought 144 out for the first time to the Cobra Club event at Willow Springs last month, wow is all I can say! Craig did amazing work as always in dialing in the engine and the car truly is a low mileage car with how solid it drives. I have been able to connect with the original owner and have everything possible documented form his time but I have not been able to get much from Bobs ownership period. If any of you have direct knowledge of who Bob used to do all the work on the car I would love to hear from you, thanks. Andrew.
Congratulations! Nice looking cars! Welcome! I look forward to seeing more about your cars. Very cool. :)
congratulations and enjoy your purchase

Congratulations ! nice to see the car is in aSAAC member's garage !
Congrats Andrew! Enjoy the car.
Congrats, Andrew! And, personally, I like the fact that you're keeping the spoiler, especially since you have the paperwork to back it up.
Enjoy!
Congrat's on the purchase. With all the restored cars out there, I personally like some light Day 2 mod's on these cars!
Killer car! Congrats!
Hi Andrew
We must be some kind of twins. I have carryover 6S236 thanks to Vern and Bob.
I also own 6S1127 green with painted magnums. Currently in project state.

DZ,
I thought you owned 6S236. You wrote 6S239. Was that a typo or am I confused?
Steve
Yes corrected typing error
