Guys,
I have a couple Boss302s but have never owned a Shelby. I have been in/out of the club for 30 years and was always partial to the early cars.
But I ran across this early 69 Black Jade GT500 w/ AT at a 'reasonable' price and need to know what you might know about it. My 97 Registry leaves out the last 20+years of history.
The good: beautiful floors, body, excellent white interior, orig black/red carpetr, orig C6, 3.50 T-lock
The bad: no 428 engine, partial stripping begun in front of the original paint.
There:console/gauges, center exhaust, orig rims, nice teak woodgrain, build sheet, Marti, Shelby docs
Any reports of stolen, restored, re-body, etc...?
What would a full, correct 428 CJ engine run me? (Ineed the unvarnished truth...)
Let's says the body is perfect and I'll need a complete 428 engine; car to pan & fan to flexplate.
What would be a good price for such a project.?
Phil
