17K original miles. Yeah, sure, right.. :o :o :o But a nice solid very desirable air 4 speed car. I found at least 57 things wrong with the car including missing parts, incorrect suspension parts. blocks under the rear axle to lower it to the height it should have been at factory(usually cars sag with age not get taller). Cars like this helps me hone my future judging skills. ;D ;D
That's a very nice looking 70 - I think most people would be very happy with it.

I'd be happy with it for the right price. Very nice and what appears to be a solid car.
Nice car, love the Charlie Brown magic pumpkin (competition red?) orange color !
Is there some kind of additional trim around the clutch pedal pad?

Yes something like this
The lower picture shows some additional material beyond the stainless trim ring. Is that factory? Never seen one like that before...

It looks like the rubber pad is slipping off of the metal peddle and what you are seeing is the edge of the underlaying metal peddle.
I'm not very familiar with '69-70s, so just a question:
On these cars, is it difficult to get the angle of the front turn signals and fog lamps to line up with each other? This car has straight fog lights, but the turn signals are Marty Feldman wonky.
I have seen the opposite (level turn signals, wonky fog lights) on others.

fog lamps you can adjust any way you want because of the "round" mounting hardware and square washers. The parking lamps holes are drilled in the fiberglass and mounted to it so dependent on how someone drilled them(templates when new?) would have the end effect. if looking down at an angle the front valance juts out going towards the center and is that the look you are seeing? this original car is a ref.
Me thinks the parking lights are on the wrong side... ;)

More like 114K miles.

Carroll Shelby personally installed them on this car for the previous owner, he stated they looked better that way :o

comments made like the interior is PERFECT and 14K original miles opens the seller up to debate on things. The seat covers look repo, the dash pad speaker holes look weird to me(repo?). Door panels are not original. Original radio gone. Shift knob appears to be the Drake incorrect repo, Does anyone disagree with me in most the pics the console gauges look to be the incorrect black faced Faria gauges? Console is pretty beat up and needs detailing. The quarter window rubber trim to side panels is MISSING. Rear FDRS specific parts Pete mentioned should be black. Chrome ring partially gone around steering wheel. lighter missing. Rear quarter panels cracked where FDS sits. Cracked plastic DS windshield molding. rear view mirror isn't mounted right. Scratches, mismatch paint etc. Ford scuff plate emblems. Bolts are painted for the window stops but the interior is perfect. The interior is
perfect. That kind of BS hype is what gets some like me posting. Again a nice car overall but not a car you take to a SAAC show for judging and expect an award. Popular vote. I wouldn't mind owning that car if I was looking for a Shelby in that price range.
The half dozen people that continually ask for "matching numbers" demonstrate they are neither knowledgeable or serious about the cars being auctioned.
Its the most frustrating aspect of the BaT format from my perspective. Bidding 30 cents on the dollar is not a serious bid.

Most of the people on bat that comment on the cars are mildly retarded.

That's about what it is worth IMHO

Air 4 speed carries a premium. Based on past recent auctions I'd say the buyer got a good deal. Some don't consider the premium to have both air and a 4 speed on Shelbys.

+1 . Very rare from the factory.
