Title: 1969 Shelby Grabber Yellow on ebay
Post by: shelby69 on August 20, 2020, 09:25:17 PM
Just wondering if anyone saw the yellow 69 Shelby GT350  on ebay right now . Ive been watching it now for few months , its been on there off and on. Now the price is dropped down to 64K . Seems like a very good deal. Any thoughts on the car ?

At first glance it appears nice. Unrestored seems to match the photos and what has been repainted looks nice as well. As always, check the history then write the check.

Isnt the way eBay lists cars frustrating? I have had an eBay auction before and found it difficult to search for the car even when I knew it was there!

How anout those prices? Is this really 40k different from the other yellow car?

From what I can tell in the pictures the 2nd car looks nicer to me. I see a lot wrong with the car in the first link...Just my 2 cents  :)

On the Doors, isn't the area between the Weatherstip and the Door Panel supposed to be Black and not Yellow?

on the $64K car, what is going on with the white around the hole where the AC lines pass thru the radiator support?

Wish the Marti report was rotated and had zoom on it.  I can't read it at all.  Guess I could look up the serial number in my ancient SAAC registry.

Wow, '69/70's are a bargain now.  Hard not to justify not jumping into the Shelby hobby when you see a car like that.

That has been the lowest price point a 1969 GT350

I think this illustrates the difference between buying a car from a person and a retailer

Buy it!  ;)

Not just shelbys, everything has, will or continue to be affected by the pandemic.

The economic impact of the Covid 19 world wide has been largely disruptive. They adversely affected travel, financial markets, employment, essentially all industries.

We are only beginning to understand the direct, and indirect, consequences of Covid 19 .

Not to mention the greater mental health challenges during this pandemic.

Back to the topic, yellow does look pretty cool  !

 I say buy it as well. If you are not sure about condition and options hire one of our in house experts for a little look see. Price of a plane ticket, lunch, cocktails etc will give you peace of mind and a great jump in, price point.

Good price on a 69 GT-350, a yellow 1970 sold on BAT recently for $85,000 plus $4,200 fees.  Have someone check-out for rust on quarter panels, and bottom of doors. Listing say for sell by private owner, checked other item for sells shows lots other cars listed and sold.  Good buy if everything checked out.

Typically on a deluxe/Mach I interior car there is no interior paint applied to the door before or after the exterior color is applied

I would be drawn first to the 9F02M482037 car given it may be a car that has been in Calif all/most of its life. Hopefully away from the coast. Still would need to be checked out completely but the possibility of all original sheet metal with no repairs can be hard to beat IMHO

Gateway Classics are in a few states including  near me in Mi. Every time I look at their cars they seem over priced to me but that is my opinion. Ditto for Vanguard Motor sales a few miles from me in Plymouth Mi. Dealers. They offer financing and get a premium I think from Foreign buyers who would rather pay one from a dealer than risk buying from a private individual. Gary
Also looking at the Gateway car maybe I'm being picky but for 109 at least have a clutch pedal chrome trim ring on the car. LOL. Someone painted over the emissions decal? No underside or trunk pics but a "hundred" of the same outer body pics? Lucas Fog lamps look incorrect. OK, I'm being picky...It is a driver and not a show car so at 109K I'm SMH....

^^^ that is pretty much what I've heard and seen here. The guys at the local Gateway seem great (definitely enthusiasts), but most of the cars are on consignment - so who knows where those high $$ prices come from?

That represents, ad costs, salaries, show room rental and profit.

I was looking at this car also, if I had the space I would have bought it.

We have looked at this car pretty close.
It is a California car, no rust. Runs and shifts good.
Still retains lots of original items, like trunk mat, spare tire donut and jack.
Had a repaint 25-30 years ago.
Would make someone a really nice car. Doesn't seem to have been monkeyed with.

The 65K yellow car sold apparently. It shows no longer available.
