Hi,
Thx for getting back to me.
My first choice would be a 350 but would consider a 500 depending on the price.
I had a '69 350 years ago and regretted that I sold it.

If that is truly an unrestored ,original paint car it will bring a premium.Survivors are rare as hens teethe.A lot of these cars got "used up" as they dropped in value and needed to be "brought back"..

I would also strongly suggest you purchase the 68-69-70 World Registry. Lots of information on any car you're considering buying.

Yes, there are no deals on Shelby's basically you get what you pay for - with some rare exceptions. If you look at cars that have recently sold in the sub 100's most are a mess. All that being said, it depends what you are looking for if you don't care about "correct" or aftermarket glass and parts then it's not going to be hard to find a 69/70 gt350 for between 75-100.

I don't. However, the only Grabber Orange 69/70 Shelby's I have seen were my own and one other. The other was a '69 ex Hertz car, and previously owned by rock star Alice Cooper. I do not believe its for sale. Here it is recently at a local car show in Vegas.

Thx for the information.
I think the white interior looks great with the Orange.
It's not a deal breaker but I personally prefer black.
The white looks great when new but it seems to yellow over time.

I've posted this before:
Per the registry, there were 150 69/70 Shelbys were painted Grabber Orange:
43-1969 GT350's
56-1969 GT500's
20-1970 GT350's (3 convertibles per Marti, unknown if this is 69/70 combined)
31-1970 GT500's

Mongo (aka: 69/70 SAAC Registrar) would know more.

Unless you are under 30 I doubt it will yellow in your lifetime.

+1. Back when they were daily transportation a white interior would soiled quickly . I remember painting white interiors black because they were easier to keep clean looking. Now that I don't drive them on the daily basis I consider white striking,complementary and desirable.
