This car, the other car in the mud and the BBQ special, all need LARGE CASH INFUSIONS plus TIME, lots of TIME.
Money has a present value and so does time.
At the end of the journey he or she will look back and realize that for less money they could gave been riding and enjoying a S H E L B Y all that lost time.
A very wise old man once told me " el tiempo perdido hasta los muertos lo lloran" did not get in then, but its very clear to me now.
Adios
I have seen a whole lot worse restored, there are a lot of rare parts still with this car so at least the new owner isn't starting over in finding $$$$ parts.
This car if for the person that can do and enjoys doing the metal work themselves and is proficient in doing it correctly.
Agree completely. Don’t forget the Hertz pulled out of the dirt in the last year or so that was so bad it almost broke in half... “praise the lord let’s save that Ford”
Ironically, the number for that car was 1431.
The one pulled out of the dirt in Ohio was not 1431 it’s 1582, the pictures of the restored car shown at the end of the YouTube video were 1431 (my car). I collected sheet metal and other OEM and NOS parts for 30 years before starting to restore, car had lots of rust from being a daily driver for years.
The car on BaT is bad, but I’ve seen worse but it will take a lot of time to get it done right
There are a lot of original parts on the car on BaT
