Does anyone know what the window sticker price from the dealer when it sold when new ? $_____
OR, do we know the delivery price on the car from Shelby to the dealer? $ ______

Curious to know how much Shelby added to the invoice. $_____

BTW, I have never seen a chromed air cleaner, we have three originals here,
>> " Not picking on the car whatsoever", just curious if anyone else has a chrome one?
or pictures of another known paxton car with a chrome air cleaner>

I have no idea of the authenticity of this window sticker - snapped this photo at a car show in NJ years ago.

Also not sure what car this was - it was a Nightmist Blue GT350.

This was on a Paxton equipped '67 that was on display there.

Obviously the side stripe is incorrect but ashamed is a pretty strong word given the fact that so many cars have so many incorrect details.
I agree that Colin has to be happy with the results and that's really all that matters and the fact that the new owner is happy with it

If it were mine, I would be embarrassed, not ashamed.

The side stripe is just so part of the outward characteristic of a '67 it's difficult to believe a restorer wouldn't know that.

It's like a Mylar stripe on a '65.

In retrospect ashamed may have been too harsh . Embarrassed for not knowing better would have been more measured. It doesn't matter for the seller at this point as I am sure he is very happy with the results and it is typically a easy fix for a buyer who wants it historical correct.

$479.00
Makes a difference now of about $200,000.
That is really something.
Thanks guys,

If you enlarged the scan, slide it to the right to see the prices. $479 is the supercharger.
