Great Job ...Brian!!
Thanks again for taking the time to help us .
Not as many up for auction as I was guessing when I opened Brian's post. Compared to Kissimmee anyway.
Brian, thanks again for taking the time to compile and post the list and also the results.
Jeff
Once again Brain. Thanks for going to the trouble of compiling this list. I nominate you for SAAC's Number One Auction Tracker. Really appreciate it.
Fred G.
Second that!

Yes, a noticeably short list of Shelby cars at the Scottsdale auctions this year. A few years ago this was the largest, most exciting venue for collector car sales. I think BAT & other online venues have disrupted the auction business as the cost of selling is far less plus you don't need to haul your car to the auction.
Thanks for compiling the list Brian!
Those are solid valid points
Heres one in the other direction
Cars are checked at the auction. Not all cars make it to the bidders
RM sales posted.

I wonder if the auction companies figured the southwest was saturated with SA cars and advised sellers to go to FL for new market. Or did they take SA cars to FL to get more butts in the bid seats.
I was at Sotheby's auction yesterday and looked over that car.
Let's just say the seller did very well and the buyer at that price NOT very well.
When I was looking at the car There was another guy looking it over crawling all around it . What I believe was the potential bidder that either hired or asked him to look over the car was right there. The guy who was looking it over kind of clueless.
He kept telling him things as he went. I tried my hardest to not get involved So without getting involved I started talking to my wife about items that were missing or not right loud enough so he could here me. Hoping he would just ask for my help but he was not getting the hint after about 12 items I stopped and walked away.
All this time my wife played along as she knows more about 68s and other years than most guys that own them.

Floating around AZ auctions as well. People want the meat and potatoes of these cars, they just want to own one. The little items what ever they might be can usually be taken care of at a later time. The goal is to get one and the rest will fall into place. Fun to see the excitement is still in the air come auction time! Enjoy AZ in January!

You know me better than alot people. I admit I have a problem with holding back what comes out of my mouth. ;)
Lot 1310.1 Nightmist 1967 GT500 hammered for $315,000. Seller had a broker representing it for him.
1310.1 Sold for $295K on BAT + fees recently......Just sold for $315K--$31,500 fee
Looks like someone got a deal on 6s1559
Trying to figure out what happened to the White 67 GT500 ...Lot#1463.1.....never was shown...and has disappeared from the website?... :o
White 1967 GT500 was involved in an accident in the staging lanes. BJ insurance covered it and gave the owner $300,000.
Did not attend the auction this year. Does the KR convertible really sit as high as it appears in the pictures?
Pat
how the heck did that accident happen to the white 67 & did they total it, wow someone must have pics of that

It sounds like they gave them what it might have brought at auction. I doubt it was even close to being totaled given it happened in the staging lanes as the report read. Even small damage would taint it from being sold on the auction block because of that accident disadvantage. They probably thought it best to pay them a agreed amount and keep the seller happy . They know how the insurance company will handle it if they turn in a claim . I would be surprised to hear that they even turned in a claim. They can have it fixed (BJ has a inhouse restoration shop) to run it through another time. What with all of the expenses of getting it there ,personal travel expenses ,aggravation and possible diminished value of the car for the world to see It is a reasonable way of handling the situation IMO. Who knows after they fix it and run it through another time they may even make money based on the prices being paid for 67 GT500's these days.
Here is the rear end of the '67 GT500 after the incident.
Well.it for sure isn't "totaled ".Good news.

The story I heard was someone remote started a 67 Camaro that was behind the Shelby and ran into it pushing it into an early 60's Corvette.
Thanks for the pic & sounds like they crashed 3 cars all together in the one incident .
Bad day at BJ.

Saw some additional pics on facebook. Looks like the Camaro remote-started and ran into the back of the Shelby and pushed it into the Corvette.
Yeah right poor corvette!!!
Shelby sandwich on Chevy bread.........ouch.
Well now in repairing the 67 GT500 they could put the correct rear valance panel on the car.
It also looks to have the flat tail light panel and the tailight bezel with the studs which may not be correct.
The car is number #3204 and in the undercarriage pics I can see later half of 67 type fuel line.

I don't think so. IMO, it had some issues. Wonder if the seller disclosed everything they knew about the history, unless they don't know the history.
