SAAC Forum

The hubert platt car was interesting for me and I was bidding, but due to the lack of infos on the car or what happend with it in all the years my haert/head said no at 110.000 otherwise a nice car but if you calculate the 12% auction fee its also 125.440$ for a car you don know a lot about it. Then I prefer to spend a bit more.

112.000$ I was leading but at the end my heart and head hit the limit. Who knows. Not a bad price for what it is.

Here some more, I will do a driving and walk arround video in some weeks when the weather is better here. I´m happy you guys like the build, thats an honor.

Thats my "I kill all the new muscle cars Fastback" over 800 rwhp now on a very light old car, traction is amazing it do the the 0-62 in 3.6 now and the 62-124 in 7.4 and thats in real not magazine or youtube stuff, we measured with a performance box they use on 24 hour races and its certified for guiness world records. I invested over a year only to do the setup of the engine, tranny, everything in the engine bay that brings performance and the suspension. We did open the engine 3 times in 5 months and changed stuff, now this baby is really fast. Its maybe one of the best 67 Mustangs in the world performance wise.

p.s that was post 200 ;-) not a bad one

Tony, yes you are right. I go and buy both now  , will never happen, I always would prefer my 67 GT500 and all the other old cars I have. And just for you my 67 Shelby Clone would kill both the GT500 and C8 on a 1/4 mile easily. Also my 68 Drag Fastback.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we will call the ZR 1 zone
.... game over !

The Vantage with mid 4 second 0-60 and mid twelve 1/4 mile times would not compete with either the new 500 or the current Vette. When the ZR1  arrives it will throttle the new 500, the current C8 and take the paint off the Vantage as it cruises by it...

for the performance in corners, braking, downforce etc the C8 should be the deal and if they bring it up with more hp than now the GT500 will loose. I dont like both, I would take my V12 Vantage and eat them both, and also a well tuned Focus RS will get them for the half price what they cost. I would always prefer my 67 GT500 also on the track they can perform very good for their age.

@JD what does the actual registry say? I only have the 1997 here

The footnote in the SAAC ('67 Shelby) Registry on this car seems pretty clear on this car.

whats the price for the closest estimate ;-)

I say 2.1 Million

do you have a pic of the back also?

Maybe they want to wait for the SAAC Meet 

Ok what do you want to know? What you decribe is pretty normal on those car, nobody can tell how full the stock was at NJ or CA with sheetmetal week per week, we discussed it over and over, and you will see a lot of answers about date codes, build dates etc. if you are searching. I think after some time and a good working instinct you will work it out.

I hate ebay, the bidding sucks. I was so close but then it didnt worked.

not more that 100k worth.

I always thought there was a fire that destroyed all documents from the years before 67. And the rest of the story sounds also pretty much nailed together.
