Not sure If you guys saw this one already
That is tough to see...
NO, It is not for sale.
I going to restore it myself.
I'm thinking we have seen those pictures here before, maybe as far back as saacforum 1.0
Bill
Not one I have seen before. Thanks
Are there more pictures?
Does it look like a 4 speed?
NASCAR-like straps on the back window and upper scoop lights?
Interesting.

Couple more pics for you but can't tell if 4 speed or not ,there's over 200 comments I went through all of them and couldn't find any other info on it except it's in NY somewhere.
No ac? Or ac?
Those straps on the rear window that propayne mentioned, and also has clips on the front wind shield, the upper scoop lights are
only on the drivers side, maybe a signalling system ? I would guess that it was raced on track at some point ? ? ?
Mike
Maybe something like this ? just for reference !
Coralsnake, my file for this one says W.S. Brewer, '68 Shelby, is it a Shelby ? I have one other photo of the car from a race
program.
Do we know what part of the country its in?
Based on the racing car photo, I would say thats not a Shelby
One last pic same angle but closer up & maybe a clue the rear plate placard looks to be from Champion like Champion spark plugs logo , Like I said I went through all 236 comments and there's no clue as to where it's located except NY however ,I did just send a private message to the guy who posted the pictures I'll let you know if I hear anything back
If we find out what trans it had and if it had ac? We can probably figure out the numbers.
Not really concerned with buying it.

Lol, "I'm saving it for my Grandson" ::)
Funny commentaries about "I'm saving it for my grandson" and so on, but sadly, such owners actually say this stuff and believe themselves when they say it. There is no introspection, no self-appraisal.

Exactly. :o
What deathsled says is true in so many instances, we all know those stories ! Near me there is a '67 Pontiac G.T.O. that has not
moved since 1973 when the owner was killed in prison. His brother is saving the car for for his son, who is into tuner cars and has
no interest ! I have some photos of the car, there are only a few trim parts worth saving, the rest of the car is toast, an example,
the panel below the rear window is like lace ! getting off topic, back to regular programming ::)

Sadly, a lot of cars were/are like that.
A buddy of mine, bought a US Army WWII Jeep way back around the late 1960's. I'm not sure if he bought it in HS or when he got out of the Navy. He drove it for some years but then wife, family all happened. He never sold it. It sat inside a garage and actually looked good. But it would need everything, brakes, transmission rebuilt, rebuild the motor. So when he retired (and it had been sitting for 20 years in the same spot), he decided "nope, I'll never fix it" and sold it. When his then 30 year old son found out...."But DAD! I wanted it! I could have fixed it up". My friend about fell over. His son had NEVER shown any interest in the old Jeep, never got in it past his 7th birthday when he sat in it going "Vroommm Vrooommm". My buddy just told his 30 year old son, "well, you never said anything like that to me. It's gone to a guy who is into these Jeeps and has already fixed up several"
I'm leaning towards no AC and no tilt, which makes this a very early built car
I think if we knew AC, tilt and trans the number could be figured out.
I am surprised that a few choice parts haven't got into the "midnight auto supply" market.
Can't be a Shelby, no console. lol
Doesn't it look like a large clutch pedal in the interior pic, I don't see the little round stainless steel insert that it would have if it was a brake pedal
The gauge cluster does not appear to have a tach.
:-\I dont know in the third picture posted i can see the 140mph speedometer with trip knob sticking through the lense face and the tachometer is next two it in the other large gauge cluster space.
If it was a stock 68 mustang gauge cluster i think that should be a fuel/alternator gauge. Maybe im wrong.

Yea, it's there.
