Congrads on getting it done. Now enjoy it

Just a little detail that stood out -  the battery inspection decal is incorrect for the car and filled out for San Jose in 67. Easy fix

A couple of pictures from a car reported to be #190 from 2012. Had the same paint job it appears back then - White with blue stripes

These might give some somethings and details to ponder   

Another rat rod Mustang. For some just standing out and the need for attention is a driving force

Yes, great job compiling the results.

I’m incredibly surprised at how soft 65 GT350 prices were. Crazy.

I was surprised as well.

No saying it about this specific group of cars but it can often not be about the market but the cars offered in the auction and the stories or history related. IMHO can't judge a market from a couple of cars at an auction. Just a thought

Are you sure the GT at Aalderink is a fake? Is there any proof? It is recentst for sale.
Looks pretty good with all the documentation and Aalderink is a pretty famous and solid dealer who has a good name. I should be sure when I tell them.

Unfortunately, business and people get deceived all the time. Can’t count the number of times the “bad news” has had to be delivered to unknowing sellers and owners. That is why we try hard to keep others from making the same mistakes or possibly taking the risks. History\, documentation and VIN’s don’t tell the whole story it’s the current facts and findings that should provide the true current conditions.

Even with the internet and access to tons more information than was possible in decades past locations, buyers and cars outside of the US and North America have a more difficult challenge. In the last year help buyers in Hungary and Norway. In both cases the cars were not what they were claimed to be. Unfortunately one contact was after the purchase and had been moved from one country to another adding to the challenges. 

Good luck

I did see that. So if ya have a title shouldn't you then be able to register it an drive it ?

Title and registration are two different things in many states. Know a number of friends that had title but the cars were not or could not be registered for one of a number of reasons as well as choice.

Come to think of it I have one car that is not registered and hasn't been for 30 years. Don't recall if that one was non-oped Sure at some point, if I registered it  the state would want a bunch of money if I didn't have a non-op on it.

Side oiler, you are being kind .

 I personally have never assumed or argued serial numbers, nor will I ever do it.
Coralsnake & Bill,
YEP in my opinion also, nothing that has been presented documents it as a Shelby,
Roof and Qrts and other tid bits equal nothing , trans #'s the same case?

So >. Nothing equals nothing, our Golden rule at SAAC for all our own benefits >> is both numbers and history on 65-67 is required to authenticate a real Shelby
Wasn't there real serious problems quite a few years back on Eleanor's, can't remember why?

Respectfully I think it takes more than just numbers (if your referring to just VINs) and history.  The letter that SAAC sends out to confirm a VIN match is an example of this since it basically states that the match alone does not confirm or validate a car.  Plenty of examples of history and VIN's not equaling a real car IMHO

Others may and likely do have differing opinions If we didn't it would not be much of a discussion

Yes looks really nice. What an improvement
