automatic or 4 speed and options all make a difference on value and is car in registry?

Special Ed - no, the car isn't in the registry as far as I know.  It's an automatic. Factory a/c.  I've ordered an Elite Marti Report and waiting for that to arrive before I start to market the car.

Beautiful car, I'm guessing monetary gain isn't the most important thing as the car has been a one owner, cared for and loved car its entire life.  You should pick the next caretaker and be mindful of the vultures as Bill indicated.  There are people in the club that are very reputable and can help you value and sale the car but their services won't be for free and nor should they expected to be.  Stephen Becker, Vern Estes, Bill Collins and Bret Matteson come to my mind.  Take your time, don't take the negative things about the car personal and enjoy the process.

Greg thanks so much for your comments.  I totally agree and would neither ask for or expect anyone to provide free appraisal services.  My wife did have it appraised in 2015, but we want to have it done again most likely.  I will look up those names you provided. Thanks again.

If the paint is original then you really have something there.

Yes, paint is all original.  Interior, too.  Looks like new still!

Gulfstream aqua and white interior. The best color combination, IMHO. Good luck with sale. Think about BAT. Seems like a good venue to sell.

Rick, what is BAT?

Thank you all for the great advice and information!  This car has about 45k original miles. Paint is original, interior, everything is original except for routing maintenance stuff (i.e. battery, brakes, etc.).  Garage kept since new, with exception of 1 year in the 80's.  It's been in the same family since bought new in Arizona in November of 1969. I was told that same immediate family equates still to "one-owner". Is that correct? We have allot of the original documents as well. 

Thank you again for your input. We will continue researching. 

Mike

Greetings,

I am trying to learn how best to value a car we'd like to sell. It's a 1969 Shelby GT-500, one-owner, all-original, excellent (or good) condition. I understand an inspection/appraisal would be needed, just wondering where to begin. Hagarty's numbers are between ~ $98k and $116k. Plus 10% for the factory a/c, minus 20% for being an automatic. My main question is what impact does the one-owner have on value, and same question for the all-original / survivor status. Any advice you folks can provide will be greatly appricated!

Ask a Registrar / Seeking info on this all original '69 Shelby GT500
« on: April 19, 2019, 05:54:07 PM »
Hello,

First, how does one obtain/purchase a copy of the Shelby Registry book?  Next, I am seeking info on my wife's 1969 GT500, all original, one-owner car.  Who can I contact to see if it's in the official registry?  And ultimately we are wanting to find out fair market value on the car.  Thank you!
Mike
