It's bad enough to see a Mustang done like this, but a real 1967 GT500 is disgusting. Looks like it's straight outta Compton. The idiot even used the word "Concours" quality restoration. What's next? Low Rider Hydraulics?

So much wrong in the description based on vin and what is seen in pictures I would not know where to start.
Bob: Did you say WTF out loud too? I did! :-\
I like period correct Day 2 modifications but if building something like this, why start with a real GT500?
dare I say they forgot the "CAUTION" fan sticker...
That makes it even worse. It's a REAL car. It doesn't even have to just be Day 2 modifications. This is so bad it would cost thousands of dollars to make it even close to right. I would state the obvious but the PC crowd would have a fit. This kind of crap is usually not done by anyone but low rider types. I have seen plenty of this kind of crap in certain parts of South Central and other inner-city areas. White/Parchment is the best looking of the choices but all this car needs is fur on the dash pad and dingle balls.
I did not see a CS dash signature to enhance its value! ::)
CS was spinning in his grave. I can hear his voice now... WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** is THAT!
With that asking price, maybe he believes that it was Carroll's own special project that he hand built by himself after the workers went home. ::)
Last year I did an engine swap on a 1968 GT500 convertible that was similarly modified. That car has a six speed Viper transmission, tons of suspension and chassis mods, and 600 horsepower from a heavily modified stoked 427. The owner doesn't care what anybody thinks. His car and his money.
You know the old adage. No accounting for taste.... I have a nasty FE and mods, most being something you'd see it the time period of the vehicle.
It looks like all the mods could be reversed. I love the color combo and to each his own but the person will never sell it for what they are asking.
I am med blue and parchment. Much better looking than the black interior. What you need to do it look at the details. Much of this isn't bolt-on. It's not worth 50% of the asking. It would cost 100K to clean up that mess.
Pimp hats with feathers should certainly be velvet....
Like I have always heard said "There's an A$$ for every seat" ::) ;D

What y'all dont comprehend is that this is or could be Morrison GT500....show me the money !

1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 [Concourse Restoration w/ "Super Snake" 427 Side Oiler]
67400F7A-01727
1,727 of 2,048 Built
Immaculate concourse level rotisserie restoration of this genuine 1967 Shelby GT500 with respectful modification to the exceedingly rare "Super Snake" specification with an emphasis on safety and driveability. Immaculate Paint, Lovely Interior. Driven less than 500 miles since restoration, just enough to achieve dialed operation. Likely one of the finest examples of the GT500 on earth.

Buy it for me and I'll sit in it. And drive it.
I'll change the wheels tho....
So, this is not the venue to sing the praises of this car, but it seems like a nice car.
First of all, if it's a true Shelby, ya got that, with all the design styling of a Shelby and it's in comparative better mechanical and structural shape than a Shelby that's been left outdoors, unprotected from the weather. This car is also no worse than one of those Eleanore cars that sold for what most of us would say was "Stupid money."
I can't say it's one of my top 10,000 Shelbys and the price is not one that I think is remotely reasonable. But, considering the adage of a butt for every seat ant that there seems to be a market for over priced Eleanore cars, I will speculate that this car will sell for more than any SAAC member would pay.
Let's see how it does.
Not comments on the price?

+1
since it's already "not correct", maybe some torque thrusts?
Personally, I like it and hope it sells. I am planning something similar where I will be doing 25 Shelby's.
It's "Shelbys". No apostrophe. You could always resurrect the name... Unique Performance II and knock them off with Chloe Shelby signed dashes.

I noted the comments of hatred for clone/tribute/replica vehicles which I don't care if you have a playboy pink one. I hate the so-called continuation cars which aren't Shelbys and shouldn't ever be looked on as Shelbys. When you destroy a real car with this kind of "low rider" tech, paint the roll bar pad pink parchment I see it more as the desecration of the vehicle. Yes, there are no shortages of people with bad taste. This goes to just that point.
I have no problem with those who want to do their own signature style on a common Mustang. Some alterations or mods are not a big deal. Heck, I have changed things on my 66 on the mechanical internals, but not the visual items. Extensive mods on a pedigree make me think of a new owner of the Taj Mahal deciding it would look better in candy apple red surrounded by a large parking lot. Like altered rides, someone will love it.
But then again, I have been told by many that I have no taste. 8)
