Will it change the value of the Shelby price!!!
Thx
Paul
Depends on the buyer if they would think the car has more value or less. Also the amount of cutting or modifications done to the car to make it work (and the cost of repairing that changes) would be something they would consider.
Personally, and in general it would no be something that would add any value for if I was looking for a car and might turn me off completely to purchasing the unless the car was selling for less than the going rate
Just me but you asked ;)
Thx sir.

+1 . A general viewpoint in the collector car world is figure how much is it going to take to put it back stock original.
If you are talking about adding the 1960's ball drive type Paxton, then it very simple to put the car back into the previous incarnation, 3 or 4 hours work.
I wouldn't add the Vintage Paxton with the purpose of increasing the monetary value when sold.
But if you are just wanting to add another dimension of enjoyment , then do it. I drove a '66 GT350 about 85,000 miles over an 11 year period with a vintage Paxton installed. The extra kick it provides is very addictive.
There are a few issues they crop up if you are wanting to get 100% out of it, but nothing insurmountable if you are willing to do a little experimentation.

If you are not trying to go concourse and like to drive your Shelby and want to add a Paxton blower to your Shelby...then install it!! The modifications are minimal and can easily be reversed. The only modification is a hole that will need to be cut into the radiator support to run the original style air cleaner can (or you can run the K&N open filter). It will not add any value to your Shelby nor decrease the value, but you will enjoy the heck out of it! Just make sure you hang on to the original components that will need to be replaced, I.e. carburetor, fuel pump, and air cleaner assembly.

What these last two guys said.
Plenty of people here have them on their car.
This is a bolt-on that I feel adds to the mystique of a Shelby ,but with a little attitude. No cutting ,or welding required. I added 10 spokes too............ ;D
The guy to talk to about it if your going to do it is Craig Conley. He can steer you in the right direction with them.

I run a vintage Paxton, like stated before it's easy to install and remove other than hole in radiator support if you use original style air filter housing. Once dialed in they are a lot of fun. Craig Conley is the go to guy.
There's a car I'm looking at it. It has Paxton supercharger. It doesn't have the original air cleaner or components associated with it
Thx

Do you have a engine pic?
Yes couldn't post it!
If someone is interested, EBAY item #273106222866 OEM 65-66 VINTAGE PAXTON/SHELBY SUPERCHARGER KIT.
Scott.
P.S. I didn't say it was cheap! ::)
Admittedly, this is a very ignorant question: what are some of the noticeable differences that you get with a Paxton?
Followed only by another ignorant question - for those who have had them installed... was it worth the expense?
...inquiring (aka ignorant) minds want to know. ;D

After reading the replies here, I am not so sure about the "Didn't add value" comments from the few cars I've seen advertised in Hemmings and other resources.
Why, from what I've seen, is the extra, and I mean way extra, asking price over and above the cost for the Paxton plus labor (if done at a shop) is beyond me.

True. Look at the crazy numbers for resto-mod cars at auctions and in ads over correct originals. As extra horsepower, even over originality, seems to push the cash meter, non-original power add-ons can make the numbers climb. At least for now.

Outstanding! Thanks to both of you, as I've always wondered if the difference in feel / performance would make it worth the money. It sounds like this might be the case.
I guess some people want performance and others want stock!
Base on each individual!
Thx

I thought the original question had to do with market value with the personal touches added vs not added . That was what my previous answer in reply# 3 was geared to. There is nothing wrong with personal touches like a add on supercharger as long as maintaining or increasing the market value of a car is not a consideration. If you find personal touches on a car that you are trying to purchase and they are to your liking then all the better.
Thx Bob
