Interesting site - thanks for sharing!
That '67 on page 16 has had some customizing. Car #1424, states it was bought from Jeff Mayes hard to believe he would do those Mod's to a Shelby. Maybe the current owner did that stuff?

Maybe just bought it that way and passing it on to the next owner

That car was in Hemmings 5-6 years ago. It was in south Eastern PA but the seller at that time had little history on the car other than it came out of New York.
If the flares were nicely done in steel, I would have probably bought it. I
love that 70's day 2 arrangement.
It had what appeared to be a correct steering wheel at that time...and no Korean tires.
Car would look way better with even the cheaper repop steering wheel imho .
This auction is in my neck of the woods as they say. I plan on being there. Anyone going, just hit me up.
I would not return this to stock, I would convert the flares to steel and build a 500 horse B2 engine.
love the wheels and stance

Jeff, some checking seems to confirm your thinking...
I remember seeing that car at an early SAAC Convention. I believe it had a BOSS 302 motor in it then. Had the flares and wheels as shown, I believe.
Pretty cool car. Like the side mirror as well.
Has Shelby numbers but was previously identified as a "tribute" by seller

Not a Shelby, but what a "SLEEPER"

I was able to find one picture in my files on the Nightmist 350 when it was listed in Hemmings around 2013-2014
Flairs are all cracked, should have boss 302 in it now,(really should have the 289 hip in it), missing the supercharger that was on it years ago, (not from factory of course), missing is the boss 302 t-pan? Seller may have removed a few other parts from the car. I know it had lots of roof damage and passenger quarter damage at the top. The underside had front frame rail damage, if it doesn't have that damage, it may be all repo stuff. Its way too high in the back. Mystery, does anyone know the Ford VIN number? I also had pictures of that car years ago.
To make it right, it would need the restoration work that a basket case needs, thus it is a low baller car, someone will get happy with the bidding, you can bet on that...lol.
Better get your PPI boys! I bet lots of hidden stuff there.....
Thanks for sharing the info with us, maybe it will help some people here to make the "right" decission. We only can hope the potential buyer dont read this after bidding.
what about this GT500 any infos?

Yes the car had an interesting life and was beautiful back in the day when it was modded. Sadly it may have had a hard life thereafter. Hope the work, if any,was good. I think a good PPI would be indeed a must for anyone interested unless a buyer knows what they are looking at. Please remember that my recollection is from memory and I have like others have seen so many cars over the years. I did find some pictures of it and I am going to see if I have others somewhere. Last time I saw it was maybe in the early 90's.
Ok here is my disclaimer for both of my posts. My comments are purely from memory which are about 30 years ago may or may not be accurate.
I plan to be in attendance along with a few other members of SAAC. PM me if you want to get together with us and take in the spectacle.
Glory Days?
;)
Supercharger, not from the factory.
I think however I may think about it....
83.000+fees not bad for this car
Yeah, it depends on what you want to do with the car. Neat car, but with prices today, I thought it was a little high, the beauty of that one was you could drive it the way it was, maybe, and restore it. But, to restore it, it would need outer wheel houses, front fenders, rear quarters, engine, and etc. It stated original floors and if that was so, I do know that one frame rail was damaged. Thus, if you were to restore it, it would be lots of money. I do know for a fact the flairs were steel and they were cracking also in its life, it had roof damage and top of the quarter by the trunk damage from a garage spring snapping. So the question now becomes, would you really want to drive it the way it is? I would put my vote as a no. I wonder how many SAAC people were there and what they thought of it. I also wonder how many people were on the phone and on line? I was on the phone and I stopped much earlier in the bidding. Cant imagine finding all the parts to put it back, lets start with a 3000$ steering wheel, a 10,000$ plus engine, etc. It starts to add up.
I thought the good deal was the Boss 429.
Just one man's opinion.
If the flares were steel, I would keep them and do a day 3 type restoration making it a street/track brute.
Even the Paxton B302 sounds cool.
