Anybody see this in person?

I did. Nice car with a older restoration that was really showing its age.

Price range?

$75-175,000

Yes, watched them both. Lack of transparency from one seller and lack of response from the other did those in for me.

Thanks, I did call and leave a message for Bret this morning.

Looking for a good '66 GT350 project or maybe a good driver quality car. Perhaps you have been holding onto one for a while with plans to restore it but realize that you're never going to get to it.

Thanks.

Am I the only one who finds the irony funny that all but one guy have increased their post count in this thread?

The backup light front turn signals are indeed a nice touch. Inboard or outboard driving lights? No, that's a '67 thing, this car has underboards.

Thanks Royce. My dad was in the car business from the 50s until he passed away in 1993. He backed up every car he sold with a warranty, so that meant he never bought auction cars and instilled in me to avoid them like the plague. That said, sometimes a car you like is at an auction, so you have no choice if you want to buy it. Your advice is spot on though, whether it's a late model car or a collector car. Much, much more that can be wrong with an old car as we all know. I will certainly give it a thorough inspection in person if I decide to pursue it.

Interesting history of the deck lid and end caps, I didn't realize they were available as aftermarket accessories that far back. If I end up with the car they will make interesting garage wall art.

Thanks Brian, looks like one that I would like to look into, so the additional info to what's available in the registry is appreciated.

Does anyone know this car?

Thanks for the kind words about the car, a lot of planning and research went into trying to make it look like an original which is kind of silly, but what I wanted.

Priced now at $110,000, looking for a good '66 GT350 project so open to a trade.
