Wow!!  Amazing find!  Someone had an awesome day!  Is this find publicized on any media yet?  It would be very cool to see more details, however,  I would completely understand if the new owner wanted to keep the details private.

Looking at the stripes on the hood. Do they taper like they are supposed to?
Brake pedal - did Shelby's have the disc pad on the pedal?

If it is a real one, it’s a later 300’s+ serial number or after the cars with steering wheels with holes, as it has the later screw door Handles and slotted 15” steering wheel. Might want to check the registry for “where abouts unknown” cars. As a start. Nice find, whom ever found it. Barn finds still do exist. Imagine that!

Cheers,

How very cool. Looks legit from these limited pics. Looks like they fitted ‘beauty rings’ on three of those rims.

Yes, the "DISC BRAKE" ID ring on the brake pedal is assembly line correct.  Good eye.

It is amazing to see how complete the car appears for what appears to be sitting for many years.  The only piece at first that jumped out for me missing was shifter knob.  That is wild.

Thanks for sharing.
