Hi Jim,
This car was offered for sale on a popular auction site back in September 2007. It sold for $65,100 according the registry. The registry shows a nice trace of ownership. Below is the description from the seller 6t6GT350. I am wondering if this car was even saveable. The rust was bad as the seller describes. It is the rust you can't see that scares me. It is sad to see it in such rough shape. I hope it is repaired.
Thanks for sharing.
Cory
Auction description:
1966 Shelby Mustang, SFM6S1349, authentic and fully documented by SAAC and appears in the SAAC registry. 289 HiPo, cast iron T10, Detroit locker. The previous owner let this classic sit in his backyard for almost 10 years before I bought it in 2004. THIS CAR NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION. It does not run! The engine does turn over and the transmission shifts. I don't know if the engine is original (cannot see the vin stamping), it does have the correct HiPo heads, open letter intake manifold & valve covers and correct Hipo harmonic balancer. It has severe rust damage in the following areas: floors, front & rear frame rails, radiator support and trunk. Make no mistake, there is major metal work needed to make this car roadworthy again. The 10 spokes, although not original to this car are purported to be 1966 vintage but I cannot verify this. Look at the pictures closely, yes that is my driveway you see through the floor! I started disassembling it and have decided it needs too much for me to do it justice.
