This was posted on Facebook marketplace over the weekend. I imagine it is too late to buy this now. Seller says he has over 100 messages, but I still thought it would be fun to share and check out. Proof that they are still out there..... too bad this one wasn't stored inside over the years. I don't have any other details or VIN information. If someone knows more about it, please share.

Tragic is all can say.
If that is in Upstate NY, then yeah....its bad. Why on Earth do people use FB?
I think a San Jose car is in someone's future, that is the only way I can see a car with that number being called a "Shelby" with no lie detector attached.
Looks like someone might be paying at least $60K for it based on the message I received when I inquired.
"Making a list of seriously interested buyers to review with the owner of the car. If you are interested I'd need your a Phone number. Price range right now is $40-60k for offers we have received. If you'd be interested in that price range pending inspection of the car in person I can have the owner contact you. Thanks"
I think it will buff out ;D
The question remains, is it a real Shelby
I see a re-body coming. Because the chassis/unibody HAS to be Shot!!
Well, apparently 60K doesnt go as far as it used to.
I asked him what it was going to take to buy it, and to not use my offer to bring to the next guy to get more.
So he gave me a number in the 70s, I asked for more information and pictures, gave him my phone number and email address and still no reply.
It must be original. I has original wheels. LOL. It is hard to trust the other elements of the description if the seller can't identify the wheels correctly.
Ad description:
"HAVE OVER 100 MESSAGES. It will take me a while to answer. Offers are above 50 grand. This is the Real deal! 1966 Shelby Gt-350. All numbers matching on the car, engine and transmission. Original wheels. Lots of good original Shelby parts. Been outside a while but was in a barn 20 years before that. No tire kickers and no lowballs. Need real serious buyers or collectors on this one. Make a reasonable offer!"

Hard pass.

Trolling for somebody with more money than common sense.
Assuming it is legit, should it be saved or parted out? Saving will cost a fortune. Parting out may help other owners of original cars.

Ok here is the run down after taking to owners rep. It looks legit and it is 6S1764. The bad thing is the original tag is gone and it's rusted. From the pics I have seen it looks like it would be a tough save and need a donor car. Really sad but I am not sure what it's future holds....
Originally a C4 car, painted magnums.

It will be saved. Remember this car? - It was very rusty but the buyer said he is fixing it - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-ford-mustang-223/ (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-ford-mustang-223/)
With so few pictures it's hard to judge the over all condition ( motor seized/extensive rust, etc) of this vehicle. Here's hoping it's saved, either as a donor or a full restoration.
Too bad Graveyard Carz only does Mopars. They brought back to life a disaster Hemi orange 71 Cuda rolled up into a ball.
The guy also told me there was no paperwork on the car. Looks like it was heavily bondo'd already once, given new life, and that layer is now breaking away from the rust it covered. Living in RI, a couple hours east of the car, I can say every Mustang I ever saw was rotted out terribly by the early 80's. Underneath must be horrifying by now.

Doesn't matter, it will not be....
It will one day become the living dead. And when it is back on the road, you will hear people say in an offhand way...
Such a shame...
at least if somebody is looking where it comes from he will see it here.... 6S1764
