It is a beautiful color.  A couple of things, do you think it is really 8900 miles and I thought the 67's had cookie cutter oil filler cap on the driver side valve cover.
Very nice condition car but it is hard to tell for sure if claimed mileage is original or not by remote . Given the pictures that show how much has been touched on the outside,engine compartment and underside at the very least those details would raise the question in a prudent buyer's mind why would all of those areas need attention if such low mileage? It could just as easy be 108,900 miles given the details seen in the pictures.  I know I am skeptical of the claims in the ad based on the pictures supplied. I would question the abilities of the so called "Two concours judges have examined the paint and affirm it is original." given just the evidence that stands out in the low definition monitor pictures shown in the description that would suggest otherwise. Who knows what other details a close on site examination of the paint and body would turn up. :o

Bob, I agree with your assessment, the car does look like it is probably 109K because so many things have been touched as there wouldn't have been a reason to unless it was stored very poorly.  If that is the case then that opens another pandoras box with regards to sheet metal replacement etc...  If someone is truly interested, a thorough inspection/evaluation should be sought.

Agreed:

Possibly some other number of XX,XXX in miles:  Speedometer possibly replaced somewhere in years past...or possibly rolled back...or possibly???

Too many "possiblys" without a thorough in-person inspection by a very knowledgeable '67 Shelby expert, as others have said.

Given the lack of overall originality in every photo I tend to think Caveat Emptore would be advice to heed. Buy the car, not the story.
