Wow, so many '68 GT500 and KR convertibles with 4-speeds!
Thanks for posting.
2 '65 R models has to be a very rare occurrence!

One is for sale at auction while the other one is being offered in the gallery which is a fixed price display which mecum offers. Generally on cars they own.
STill, very rare to see two in one venue
Vern
I remember seeing Big Oly at Stroppe's in Signal Hill in the late 70s. It wasn't that nice then. They also had a whole room full of ZF transaxles from warranty work on Panteras. We tried to buy a couple but they were due to be destroyed.

Probably would have done better on BaT after all fees were paid. Gary
The price of that car is probably realistic, considering its history as a rebuilt drag car.
Friday Shelbys are all done.

A bit surprised 5R213 didn't get bid above $800K? Seems a little out of step with recent '65 sales.
Agree! $800k is well below what the market has been on the R-Models. Have to assume the car had the 32 gallon fuel tank and SW 240A in the trunk, as I didn't see any photos of the trunk. Looks strange to me to see the 66 side stripes. Sure would look good here in Port Orange, FL. Only came up 4 numbers short in last weeks Florida Lotto, so couldn't bid!
Don
gt350bp
Lot# F217 Red KR conv have a "problem" ? Red 4 speeds should be more?
Was a lime gold car originally. Probably, a turn off to the concours crowd.
Its probably not a silver car at SAAC, bronze on a good day
Guys I hate to say it but there were no real bids on the R model.
Cars bid up, big money, cars with no "friends" went for low money.
Quite a contrast from last months experts posting on how great the prices were
Yes,different quality at this auction. Most I looked at were #3 ( Hagerty)condition . Missing parts,poor paint,poor sheet metal fit,etc. Driver quality=Driver price
I would've thought this Ford GT would've went ,for well over $1million with the light weight carbon package & only 18 miles

Wow, Dana Mecum should be ashamed of himself
Did anyone see him and his cohorts dressing down customers ?
I saw one guy repeatedly call a guy bidding a quitter (the bid was over a quarter million)
Another guy was humiliated for not dropping his reserve
If this how you treat your customers, you are a jerk
it's called "theater".....

Watching Friday & Saturday afternoon, other auction house shenanigans were also on full display. Like the auctioneer stopping and looking (awkwardly) over to the side for direction before proceeding to hammer on a low bid, etc. It seems unless your car is a "main attraction" or you are a close buddy of the guy running the auction, these auction venues are no longer a very viable place to sell your car.
Bring a Trailer is increasingly looking like a better option!
Commonly called "the second oldest profession" amongst those that are familiar with auction houses. With the increase in phone/internet bidding it becomes very difficult to police. "Invisible" bidders is a good time to look elsewhere.........
I totally agree with you on that. The FAT - SWEATY- BESPITTLED son, you know the one that speaks with a constant spray coming from his mouth. When they see a guy with genuine enthusiasm, he seems to constantly get out bid from a phone bidder, I call BS to that on many occasions, they are experts in watching people and getting a READ on them! Sad really. :-[

Hence I think SAAC is the best place to sell your car, with all information is.
Not everyone belongs to this SAAC forum who wants to buy a Shelby or may even know it exists. I am a fan of BaT in that if you got a bogus car or a car with serious issues in most cases after a 7 day auction the car will be vetted out. Ditto if you got a good honest car. Prospective buyers have days to read, ask questions and decide what they are willing to spend-not seconds. The buyer pays a 5 percent commission up to 5K. Seller 99 bucks unless they want professional photos or longer auction. A no-brainer in my book is to sell on BaT over the logistics alone to bring a car to auction. You have time as a buyer to have an expert go over a car for you assuming you don't find the car at the end of an auction. Some of the 6 and 7 figure sales on BaT suggest that is the place to sell. Oh, I'm sure some cars have had shill bids put on them by friends but no different than at a live auction where the auction house or a buddy could bid a car up to it's reserve. Gary
We may want to start another topic in regards to Mecum ? But I took my BOSS 9 to the auction this year in Indy. I discussed the position that I would want to be in , which was Saturday Afternoon on the May 22nd. They agreed and sent the paperwork work to sign. This was 2 months before the auction. The line up comes out out and I am 9th from the end on Saturday.
I call them and email them and say I am pulling my car from the auction. They say that there will be a fine and they are getting calls on my car and thier will be bidders there to bid on on my car. And of course there contract has a penalty clause if you don't show. I reluctantly go to the auction and and it doesn't bring the reserve. They come and ask me if I will lower the reserve $ 75000 and I say hell NO . I got a minute of auction time while restomods got 3 to 4 minutes. They were ready to pack up leave at that point. No one cares snd I end up with a No Sale on my car.
There are to so many Mecum auctions and there is only the auction house getting rich. Just my 2 cents .
Thanks Steve
Sounds like the "Mecum Mafia" at work. Would you be willing to share your costs for a "no sale". I had considered offering one of my cars,but luckily changed my mind... I had to consider all the risks/costs. Thanks for any insight!

I'd love to see this car on BaT. What do you have to lose? 99 bucks. Far less I bet than Mecum. I saw one of these in Ed Meyer's shop(brother's barn) in March 2013. I thought he said it was one of 2 made(he also had a CC 70 in there also). Sister car to this one? Gary
We had the other 1 of 2 rare 70 pastel / white boss 429 in our shop for a while until a texas man bought it to match his 70 pastel b2.I was originally going to stay sat at mecum to help steve sell his car until they moved it till the LATE saturday night ending. I think mecum moved his sat afternoon car to late saturday night to try and get bidders to stay late and did that without asking steve first BUT why did they pick his car and why does a 69 mach 1 remain a feature car and this RARE boss 429 not? I had a buyer call me thinking they pulled his car because he couldnt find it until i told him its now at the end of the auction. I left mecum friday night then to go to IN. saac meet to help out saturday show of which we had a great turnout of cars and spectators (i think 170 or so cars showed up including Rex Myers 1966 AM GT40).
Ed, I am not sure what Mecums thinking was on the whole deal. I argued with and threatened to pull the car , because my thought be being that late and No Sale would not be good for the car. Anyway the car is back home and I appreciate all the help that you and Nate have given me.
Thanks Steve

Separating you from as much money as possible?
Ever notice how quickly cars sell after the reserve is dropped? Usually the next bidder with a quick hammer.

Sure they have already made the bulk of their money. Why drag it out for another minute for only a couple hundred bucks in their pocket?
5R106,
The price quoted me was $1.5 mil.
I asked who owned it,Dana Mecum? No answer.
I'm sure $1.5 million is his reserve and he would not lower it...no matter how much people pestered him.
I really hope that you guys realize this is not good for the car hobby. No mater what brand.
You sir, are absolutely right. In the 70s a 67 Shelby in decent shape was ~$2500 bucks. When I finally decided I wanted one in the mid 90s it was ~$25,000. Sure I could do it, no big deal. I bought one but questioned my sanity. I could still do it now at what they sell for but it's ridiculous, so I won't. Decided I would go a different direction. It just takes the fun out of it, I'm sure the appreciation is good for the guys that kept their cars long term, but the reality is dad's can't work on cars with their sons now, they're just too expensive for the average "Joe". Even run-of-the-mill stuff is super expense. I feel bad for the dad's that want to do something with a car with their children. It's stratospheric now.

Mustangs were cheap cars back in the day, which is why they became projects for many folks. There are plenty other cars that are cheap like Mustangs were today. I don't really see the logic in this. Buy what you can afford and have fun with it, there are many other options.
You can still buy decent 1st generation fastback project cars for 15K-25K, and parts are plentiful and affordable for these cars since there were so many produced. Look at all the companies producing aftermarket parts just for 1st gen Mustangs alone. No doubt, Shelbys and other variants that represent to top of the food chain have become very expensive, out of reach for most back yard mechanics that didn't get into these cars early and hang onto them. Plenty of affordable classics out there to wrench on.
Been shopping lately? Its good for all involved in the business, or hobby! Prices are up on everything , not that I like it but its the way of the world. Prices for homes in the 70s were around 30 k for a 3 bed 2 bath, now a million dollars unless your in the back 40, SHELBYS back then 2500... Now 200k. People jump in and off the collector train at different times, another FACT of life. A friend just turned down 35 million dollars for an early 60s FERRARI, I dont hate... I congratulate! Where is all this going? Who cares... jump in it and drive them, race them, enjoy them, the clock is ticking. ;)
I gave the price on 5R106 because it was the only car listed without a number. I was at the auction and decided to get the price to share with the SAAC. No intent on invoking negative reaction. I always say to the people that know me. If you want a show car ,build it especially if you have the means. If you have a driver ,drive and enjoy it. And if you intend on owning your car forever or a long time ,make it the way you want. You are the only one the car has to satisfy. If you intend on selling the car the best is to put as close to factory as possible.Others may differ. I don't care if the car is a 65 hardtop or a 65 Shelby as long as they are nice condition. I can talk with the owner all day.As far as prices, there are deals but be ready with the cash to buy.
Hope this clears up things. I am on SAAC to learn and help people with cars like mine.
With these cars going up and up in value who profits the most? INSURANCE companies! I have no desire to ever sell my 70 GT350 vert but watched my insurance premiums go up and up. I used to cancel collision with Hagerty for the winter months and they would fight me and say my premiums are based in that I wouldn't be driving it year round. After comparing my premiums with those in year round climates I call BS on that. So a year and a half ago I dropped my collision on my Shelby and Hagerty said their policy was it had to be off the road for a year if I did. So I did and Covid hit so it has been off the road. If they were not going to insure it before a year was up I was going to change carriers. My insurance rant is over. Gary
Hagerty is high, switch your cars to American Classic Insurance.....been there now for years and they are much less money.

Thank you. Have you ever had a claim? With Hagerty they are pretty stand up on their claims. I had had 3 "weird" claims they paid out on over the years. Gary

No, never a claim, but it seems reasonable to me. When I call, I will get a live person and there is a number on the prompt for filing a claim. All the girls I have talked with seem good, and it just seems easier.
My friend who has a 65 GT350 just insured his and he called Hagerty, his quote was a lot, and he called American Collector and saved a lot.
Insurance is one of those thing that you can pay and pay and never need.

My bro once said "what a business, you give them a boatload of money and they give you a piece of paper and you hope if you ever need it the piece of paper will be good". Thank my policy is up on July first and Hagerty is already sending me a lot of Emails saying my payment is due. Well no it isn't .It is due by July 1 when my renewal is. Gary
I had them for 20 plus years
Shopped around and saved about 30%
Im with another specialty company now

I am not connected with any INS company, I am not a fan of them. One hopes that it will work when you need it.
On the everyday side of car ins. We are insured through Nationwide, I have been with them for over 35 years. We moved, signed up with them, and they gave us these things that you plug into the computer port, to which we thought OK we can do that for 4 months, which is what we were told. I like to put my cars of a tender when not driving them, as of now NONE will charge up with the tender, because of that gizmo. I have had a few dead cars because of that, thus I have to start them and drive them a little....I have a 2002 Thunderbird, a 2014 FJ Cruiser and I have to watch them or they will go dead. The other cars we drive so there is no issue. When the 4 months came up, they said it was to go 6 months so here we are, "the water just got a little hotter." Anyway when I told them that I was getting dead batteries due to not being able to charge them, you would have thought I was speaking a different language. They simply did not understand what I was telling them. They got until July and we are going to proclaim our freedom from stupid plug in monitors!
No way would I ever sellout my driving info for a cheaper rate
They will only use it against you

I have 6 cars insured with Hagerty, no claims, and I feel like I pay a reasonable price. I always get a live person ( always very pleasant )to speak with when I have a question.

Well after talking to someone at American classic insurance my rate would be 1170(which includes towing and labor care gold which I do not think I need) and Hagerty is 1544. I can cancel my collision at anytime(comp only) and reinstate it at anytime. Hagerty's policy is if you cancel your collision it must be for a min of 1 year. I had a lot of hassles over the years knocking down my collision with Hagery as my cars do not leave the garage from Nov-April usually. Their latest policy when I knocked my collision off my Shelby was 1 year min in Oct 2019 but kept if off the road since then. I have had Hagerty for over 20 years now. 3 claims that were paid to a high standard. I like Hagerty but the savings is about 25 percent with ACI. Any thoughts?

those monitors you installed on your vehicles track every time you start and stop, where you went, how fast you went, any sudden stops or acceleration, how long you where at your stops.....no bueno !

We were told that it only measures fast acceleration and hard braking, so far we are saving 30 to 40% because we are good drivers, it also measures if you are out late night, which we are not. So far so good. It is only until July. 6 months.
