I'm not sure that's something I would brag about, or be proud of.

Anyways, thanks to the ones that suggested, as well as sent me PM's with contact info I really appreciate it.

I wasn't bragging, just saying. Also I'm not sure corbins was being derogatory.

Way to come out of the gate swinging, just saying. Sugar/vinegar/flies.

We are still on this? Come out swinging? I'm not the one that started anything, other than a simple thread with a simple question. Obviously some have a problem with sticking with the subject. Anyways I've dropped it and I'm moving on, please do the same. Thanks

Thanks Everyone, I guess the builders questions are which brackets are black which are aluminum color, things of that nature. I have been trying to look at pictures of restored engines to give him this info to the best of my ability

and here we go again^ ...Everytime I post I'm reminded of why I don't deal with this forum.

Okay everyone after much consideration I have decided to keep and start restoring my GT500. I'm wanting to see if anyone could help with a list of colors the engine and all the brackets need to be. I'm taking the block to a ford engine builder here in NC and he will give it back to me already broke in. I'll need to send the carbs, air cleaner, and valve covers off to get restored, but not sure who does this.  This car is all original so I'm wanting to go back as stock as I can possibly afford without doing a concourse restoration. My plans is to get the engine done and get her back on the road as a driver quality car. So he was asking me for the color codes on the entire engine, and all materials bolted to the engine. Thanks for any help or direction you could give me. I have restored multiple cars, but this is my first real shelby.

For 80k+ I'd probably sell my gt500 #1587 that I just bought. It's like the others say it's all in how much someone would have in restoring it. I think better deals are out there then 110k

Wow okay guys I need to know the story now ...What happen!

Oh wow...glad to know ...I did hear in the crowd the day before something about a fire

       I for one believe the prices will tank in the next 30 years. As a 33 year old business professional I love cars, but being raised in the "Southern Muscle Car Belt" makes me purchase more classic cars than newer cars. I can't help but notice at the local car shows I'm usually the only young guy there that actually owns a classic car. Due to television and big name auctions most people my age cannot afford or could care less about the car hobby. And the ones that can afford a car are moving into supercar territory. I can really see a change is coming when going to the local cars and coffee and everyone is either older or the younger crowd is gathered around the Lambo's and Ferrari's . It seems my generation will be the last real muscle car lovers.
      The new generation that is up and coming seems to not even care about driving let alone getting an old classic car and restoring it. I couldn't tell you the last time I met an 18 year old that said my dream car is a 69 Camaro, 70 Hemi Cuda, a Shelby Mustang...Etc....When's the last time you met an 18 year old that can even drive a stick shift? I own a 66 Shelby clone, and a 2004 SVT cobra and in all seriousness I get more compliments on the 04 terminator then I do my 66. The last car show I attended a man probably in his late 20's parked his new GT350 beside my clone car and jokingly made a comment "I'll trade even", it just shows they have no idea what true value is on this hobby. I laughed and said you paid 30k more for yours then I did this one and he just had a dumb look on his face.

Sorry it was 95k here's the lot number

At the last GAA classic car auction in Greensboro a fully restored 67 gt500 brittany blue sold for 93k, It literally made me sick on my stomach because I left before it went up thinking it would be in 140's...If I had known she would be sitting beside my other brittany blue as we speak..

Famous parts vendor?...do you have his name ....the car has been repainted....I was informed the original drivetrain is missing

8t02s143317-01284...can anyone give me some info on this car ...thanks

Thanks guys for your opinion...anyone else have any input they would like to add ...am I the only one with a 67 gt500 with rolled fenders ...the original owner is not someone who I would consider a liar or someone who would miss inform me especially since I've already purchased the car and he has nothing to gain or lose ..I bought the car from the original owner and it has been sitting since 1974 ..
