Hi there I found a 1966 GT350 in a barn today. Its been sitting since 1972. Im looking to verify the Vin and Shelby Number. I hear this is something you do?
My recommendation:
1) Contact Howard with the Shelby Number and Hidden Ford Vin number to see if it is in fact a 66 Shelby.
2) Before you purchase it, take a bunch of pictures and post them here to get expert opinions of the good and bad.
3) Before you purchase it, ask for someone that has a know reputation (Howard and others can help you with that) to come and inspect the car and give you their expert opinion of what you have found. There will be a fee for doing this but well worth it if you don't know what to look for. The incorrect trans alone could cost you $7500-$11K depending upon the style.
4) If you do purchase the car, get involved here and with the SAAC and enjoy the journey :-).
