Wow! High bids already. I'm very familiar with this car. Some of you have seen the "Before Restoration" pictures. I hope the seller is very transparent about the car's history. I'm going to keep an eye on this one. And, no, I won't make any negative comments in the auction.

Does the Good Book have the restoration info in it?

"has a little rust".......

Lot #1328 - This 1968 Shelby GT500KR was the recipient of a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration.

It is equipped with tilt steering, power brakes and power steering. This Shelby has a Deluxe interior. It was entered into the Shelby American World Registry in 1982. During the restoration of this Shelby, a decision was made to use a donor body to correct various issues with the original body. Has been driven 30 miles since the build completion.

The Florida salvage title lists it as "rebuildable". I don't think its a big deal considering its documented now.

The vendors retail value is laughable. I wonder what their reserve is?

does a rebuildable title requires a new state issued VIN?

Rule #1.....always have a fire extinguisher in your car......both personal car and collector car

I have personally put out 3 car fires ( others) in the last 5-7 years.

Coralsnake you Da Man

The car has a great history.......

Did you see the nice blue one in the For Sale section by cape cod Mustang?

Thanks for putting the list together they have added some in last couple weeks......I'll be there

May accidentally bid on one 😎

Oh man they even got the Carrol Shelby autographed clock

Of course those deductions are only most relevant in concours venues where the point is to get it as close as delivered as possible. Day 2 modifications like the Paxton if executed correctly can make a other wise non concours car more desirable.

And that is why a Paxton rocks
