A white B9 sold for 147k... I would have been pissed if it was mine.

Not if you bought it for $3,500 in the 70's

Holy crap!

Anyone see one of these in action?

P-Lazer is the company, their QF-50 (50 watts of power) runs around $55,000 US

Certainly not NOS.

I see the issue, it's a punctuation error.

Should read:   "New", old stock 

In other words, sure, it's new, but it's someones old stock sitting on their shelf from when they received it last year 

Ed/Jeff,

   Just as an FYI, while 1584 did have paint work after rolling out of the factory, the engine compartment was original (IE: neglected) without any rattle can touch up (left front radiator support and corner of left front inner fender panel had some rattle can do to some deformation that was repaired with a hammer in the early 70's). It was not until my misguided use of a high pressure steam cleaner (better too much pressure than not enough was my mindset at the time), that I found the factory color under the original blackout. Forget about the overspray towards the front passenger side showing in my original picture, as that was from the later paint work and was above the factory black. Just some added detail that was not posted originally to this thread.

Again, I appreciate your insight.

I know I am biased but does anyone else feel that Shelby’s in general (with a few exceptions I.e. 65s/kr convertibles/r models) are undervalued in relation to other muscle cars given their uniqueness /rarity?Love to hear what folks think on this one.....

I never thought about the value when I purchased any of my past or current Shelbys. I wanted the car, could afford to buy it, and did.

Agreed, as the front fenders and hood had paint work done in the early 70's. Yet the body color under the original black out is what I was more interested in, as it reaches further forward on this car than any other car I've torn down in the past. Even my Sunlit Gold 68 Mustang (GT) convertible did not have color further forward than the edge of the front inner fender panel/shock tower, and that car was 100% original when I purchased it in 1981.

Have run across odd ball cars every once in a while from each plant where the painter got carried away and applied body color all the way up to the radiator support. Possible the new kid. Sure one of the regulars got them into line and to stop wasting time, product and effort.

Thanks Jeff 

Color on the front face of the radiator support is something unrelated I believe - typically passenger side upper near where the buck tag would end up

The blackout changeover was a time period change on the Ford Dearborn line and did not having to do with a specific color. I have never heard of a exact specific changeover date. It was however in the general time frame of your car. I am a little surprised for instance that the reported no black out on 2960 for instance because typically it would have the blackout given the completion time period. There may have been other extenuating  circumstances in that case.

How about the body color found all the way up to the corner of the radiator support on the upper inner fender panels? With Grabber Orange being so "opaque", do we think they would have had to lay it down further from the body/firewall?
