Who has a vintage ad for their car?

[Shelby_r_b]

I absolutely LOVE this stuff!

Below is the sales add for my 1967 Shelby GT350 (car #0022) from May 1973.  This is the add that the previous owner saw right before purchasing my car.  He ended up owning the car for almost 43 years prior to my purchase.

It's hard to see, but the price is "firm" at $1,600; however, the previous owner got it for $1,200.  An extremely wise investment in hindsight!

Ruben,

$1200?  You didn't pay much more than that did you?  No wait, I forgot a few zeros.

LOL! 

It's funny.  I have that newspaper add pictured on a display board for car shows, and the second most asked question (other than "why did you put those red lights in the upper scoops???") is, "...you didn't pay $1,200 for this...did you?"

Ohhhhhhhhh, if only I had!  Again, let's just say that the previous owner did very well in selling his car.  And, of course, it was well bought.

I have a newspaper ad for my car that a fellow member sent me. This ad was placed by the original owner. He must not have sold the '67 GT500 as it was traded in and I bought it from the guy who bought it from the dealership shortly after this ad was placed.
Notice the 2 65 GT 350's also in the ad. All three cars have there black plates listed which is how mine was identified.....Greg.

Thank you for posting the advertisements. I was able to find one additional plate number that I did not have from your posting. Hopefully  more will come along. Perhaps someone will see something in the ads that will apply to their own cars.

Thanks again,

Dennis

I have a special phone that can call into the past.  Calling that number right now!

Ad #1 - selling a 65 Shelby for $2,250 cash is such a crazy thought in 2018, but trading for a VW & cash is insane!

Indisputable.

[Side-Oilers]

Agreed completely, but have you seen what 23-window VW Buses are going for these days? 
Talk about insane!

[GT350DAVE]

This is an add for #2206 by the first owner, listed in Road and Track, December 1970 issue.

[gt350shelb]

anyone else find an add for their car  from back in the day ?

[FL SAAC]

wow, so fortunate those that have found these old adds

Swapping cars and/or parts with a little bit of cash was a way of life in the 60s and most of the 70s. We were a bunch of kids with low wage part time jobs spending most of our time going to school.

In 1975 6S843 was offered for $800 in the local weekly throw away free ad paper. I swapped the guy a 68 Tbird (a guy gave me for putting a water pump in his 62) and the $140 he needed to keep his motorcycle from being repoed. 

BTW - I traded my $600 1954 Corvette for a 2 year old VW Bug in 1968 because the trans died and I needed a car to get to college.

 These are a few adds I have that show my car for sale. The first add was from a used car lot in the Miami area, not sure of the date line but the sale price was $15,500.00. Wish I bought the car then.

The other add is from Orlando Mustang in 2007 from their web site and I purchased the car from them in early 2008.

May not be the vintage adds others show but gives me a timeline on a little history on my car.

This was an add posted on a bulletin board somewhere in Vancouver BC.  This was the add the PO I purchased the car from found when he purchased the car.  It is complete with a Polaroid photo showing it was painted black for some portion of its life.

I tried to rotate it and failed miserably
