Did Shelby actually see the car and sign it?
Ugh, has a cheapo, $19.95 air cleaner lid on it!
Anyone know first hand who the "restorers" of #69 might have been, the registry makes no mention of it.
Well someone is going to get 1 0f 562 made, its a 400,000 car I wouldn't worry about an air cleaner.
IF I recall correctly there was a discussion about the car back in 2007 on the forum. Wonder what the radiator is out of that's a might wide and thick one.
Nice car. Replacing the front core support shouldn't be a problem as other sheet metal also needs to be replaced if 'period correct' matters to new owner. Fuel pump and fastener issues more easily resolved.
There are a number of issues to fix if someone wanted a perfect specimen, but it is a nice looking car and was a high dollar sale at BJ in '08.
I have record of it being on ebay in 2007 with a buy it now price of $395k
Sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2008, all in at $462k
Hurst shifter and roll bar....
Lots of little opportunities for improvement, but it has the correct 16" steering wheel, which the ad states is 15"

. Would make a nice pair of "bookends" for someone's garage...

I was told second-hand that it bid to $450k today and no sale.
That is correct - I watched it online.
Define "bid to" and by whom?
::)
I was at Mecum Indy. Listed some results in a Cobra post.
You never know at one of these auctions, but the $450k bid seemed legit, and it went to bid goes on.
The Cobra sales seemed like strong prices. Dave.

It was a tongue in cheek comment . Was it real money or was it shill bidding is what many wonder.
I wonder the same thing...was it real money?
Auctions can be tricky. Even when a car "sells" there are instances when its "sold" to a friend of the auction house, the commission isn't paid by the "buyer" and the car pops up again at another auction a year later.
This seemed like a pretty strong bid for the car, but I didn't see it in person. Non original engine I assume, but the car has some neat in-period history. Seemed like a fair price to me?
