Any one know the # on the flared '67 GT350 ?

Was my old car 1424
It had a Boss 302 with a Paxton Supercharger on it. I drove it from Binghamton, NY.
I wish I could buy that car TODAY!
I would work a deal with my current 67!

I remember your old car, fun times for sure

The seller is a forum member

And such a wise man is he, imagine the $$$$ worth of free advertising happening across the automotive forums right now

A post in the  want to buy subforum https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?board=51.0  is highly suggested. Plenty of parts collectors/seller lurk there.

Anyone know the list of cars they actually have in their collection? Just curious, nothing more, nothing less.

Bill

Nope, I don't know of a list and sure the family would possibly like some to remain private. There is a fair number of notable cars though. I would likely overlook a few and not sure what might have been added or left the collection in the last couple of years.

Sure they will choose many interesting cars from the collection, may rotate them with others they have but sure the ones they choose will will include some unusual, notable and those that have not been seen in public for decades or since they were almost new. Should be exciting as I've not seen some since the restorations.

They may be waiting for the opening to unveil some or many of the cars that have not been in the public light since very few were covered after the restorations. Don't want to spoil the surprise

Here is an article that was published a few years back about the collection. Think it was posted in a thread back then. Fair number of cars, that I am aware of, have been added since then, The following should get you a general idea of what was in and how large the collection is or was at the time

And another with Tim Lea in it

Fantastic, thanks, going to have to make a trip out once it's open.

Before we all put on our judging hat would like to point out that the pictures shown on the web site are computer generated not real cars   At least the top banner one at least

Should be a great place to check out

Seller stated original paint in the auction, but painted hardware in the door jambs.  Touched up, or?

Crusty, but not all original

How did they keep the overspray off the uncovered sheetmetal? Especially the top?

Down draft style booth/open shooting area coupled with a (for the day) low volume, low pressure paint gun. Not a lot of overspray potential compared to todays, modern HVLP paint equipment (Sata 4000 digital being my personal choice)

      Bill, In response to the question of what I  am looking for is a 68 GT 500 or KR 500 Convertible. I have seen the prices range from $150 - $ 250. Which is my my price range for the right car. My disappointment comes when a car comes up on an auction and sells for $ 20 - $30 more than it should in my honest opinion. I currently own a 67 GT 500, Superformance,  B 9 and a couple Chevys. ( Don't hold the last few against me) 
       I would just like to clarify , are prices moving up because of the Pandemic or should they be flattening out . Keep in mind I think the B9 's have taken a hit in the past couple years IMHO. I am just looking for the right car with good documentation and needs some work. No trailer Queens this time around . Anyone have one for they would part with? Thanks Steve

Steve,

    Ok, so you have an idea of what you want, and a realistic price range. However, you are viewing auction pricing as "the market", when in fact, it is not. Sure an auction price can affect the market is a small way, but just because two people wanted the same car at a specific auction (did the car actual change hands, strange, but on point question for some auction results), and potentially let their ego(s) get in the way with the help of a little extra libations, does not dictate what the private sector can sell their cars for. Without being on site, without seeing the cars in question up close and in person, it's difficult to say what the car could have, or would have sold for in a private sale. The wants and needs of the two bidders (again, if there were two actual legit bidders) could have been that of rivals, or good friends, just trying to one up themselves, or it could have been that need for a specific car, in a specific color, yes, again, it can be that simple. As far as private sales goes, the wants of the seller vs the needs of the buyer will drive the price that is paid. As an example, recently I made a purchase that was a little higher than I expected to pay, but the car, and the broker/sellers reputation checked off all of my wants and needs on my list. Not yet in hand, but it will be soon, and is teased about in my sig line below. Again, my personal choice was to grab that brass ring while I had the opportunity, my motivation slightly skewed by the loss of several family members, and the near future loss of another.. I'm not getting any younger, so why not enjoy my time on this earth with another Shelby. Personally, I bought it for me, not with what the future of the marketplace might be, but that is my personal choice, with my hard earned money. Your ultimate decision to buy or not is again, yours, as it is your money, and not anyone elses you are playing with. Hope in a round about way you get where I am coming from, and it assists you in where you are going.

Either way, enjoy the hunt, for sometimes that is half the fun.

Bill

    I have been sitting back for the right car to come along for about 4 years now. As most of you I have had a few cross in front of me and think , there is a better car or deal out there? These prices have shot up since this Pandemic. When  does everyone think this will stop and things will level off ? Or will they ? Just looking for some opinions from the more experience people on the Forum. Thanks Steve

Steve,

    Yours is an interesting question, I have to ask, why are you really asking it? Are you thinking about buying a Shelby strictly from an investment standpoint? Are you thinking about buying a Shelby as something to get behind the wheel to enjoy the experience of driving it? Are you looking for a specific model, body style, and color combination? All of these need to be answered before I can realistically respond to your initial post in this thread. Why, simple, it's a matter of wants and needs, that, and your budget which will dictate my next response.

Bill
