Up For Auction / Re: 65/66 T10-someone got a deal

Lets be clear here on the origin. The AU threw me. Is it a play for Aussies who buy a lot from here? The seller has it listed in Saint Petersburg Florida as well as his other items for sale. What is weird is that I always saw St. Petersburg nor SAINT which I think is odd. Anyways for clarity here is what the guy says about himself(copied from auction). I am a married dad of four. I quit my job a few years ago to sell on eBay full time. My other job is pastoring a Church in Florida. I’m not some large corporation, just a regular guy making his way for his family. I have a fun time exploring and finding things to sell on eBay. I scour estate sales, garages, attics and anywhere to find many unique and rare items. I jokingly say that I am a minister for “orphaned objects”, finding them new homes where they will be used and enjoyed.

I was told $121,000 plus 10% buyers premium.
Thanks. I couldn't find the results on their page. It was not far from me but being on a Tuesday morning didn't work.

MCA has(had) classes concours driven and concours trailered. Both you get knocked down the same for incorrectness but there was some leeway for driving? I can't remember but maybe bugs in radiator or a chip? Either way I drove my car to the 2003 MCA meet in Dearborn(25 miles) and tried to enter in trailered but they said since it was driven it would be in the driven class. Scored a gold(685 out of 700) and have been driving my car since. Never owned a trailer.

Was the spare tire/jack/handle tie down process done with the usual J hook/wingnut or was there a "strap" that went over the tire-for '69
The hook was Shelby unique https://www.scottfullerreproductions.com/catalog/item/4595229/6752241.htm

The base of the snake should be directly over the valve stem hole. If not, they likely been refurbished in some way or another way to explain it is a vertical line drawn through the center of the snake points directly to the valve stem hole. The emblems were originally indexed

Those damn "concourse" guys screw everything up for the normal guys, lol 😂

Welcome to advanced hubcap class !
those hubcaps I had the center emblems and the caps themselves had 40 years of patina in my book when I got them. I believe some not shown are indexed but don't have all my pics on this CPU of those old hubcaps.  Maybe they were assembled Friday after lunch or Monday morning?  ;D ;D ;D

i always thought finding pristine centers was the challenge.  The pie plates are stainless, and dents can be fixed by the right person
I know a guy who vacations in Florida in the winter who has a 68 . A few years back he goes to a swap meet and a guy has some 68 hubcaps. He talks to the guy and finds out he had a lot of them. I believe he bought all of them. He wouldn't say a price and I didn't ask but he said he got a great deal on them. Here is his car he drives.
If he bought a lot of original Shelby hubcaps you would think that he would have seen the distinct pattern of how the right side up snake emblem lines up with the valve stem on the factory caps unlike the ones in the picture. He couldn't see the forest for the trees I guess. At least it sounds like he got a deal on some hubcaps.
Bob, here are some original hub caps. I don't see a distinct pattern. Do these have the pattern you are talking about?

Very hard to find the stainless cap rings that have not been mallet dented or curb rashed beyond
Repair unless you get very lucky and find some hiding somewhere. Biggest issue with caps is finding
A set of correct steel wheels….

I understand 67 GT350.  I like the looks of the Hubcaps on a 68 better than the 10 Spokes BUT, If were to spend $6,500 on those, I would be scared I might Ding them trying to Install them.  Get a nice set for $400 or less, Polish them up and cruise.  Don't see the Dings at 55MPH.
I'll buy all the nice sets you can find for 400 and give you 500(25 percent return). The last nice set just sold for 1500 I think almost immediately yesterday. I like the hubcaps better also.

Guys the term is CONCOURS. Please stop typing concourse. I will refrain from typing the defining of Concourse but can tell you it doesn't refer to car show judging.  :)
 Hubcaps are not only for show cars as I have a few friends here who run the hubcaps. They look cooler than the tired look of 10 spokes on a 68.

A friend bought a set in the last year for about 2K less.

Might depend if dealer is going through divorce settlement, on drugs, watched copious amount of BJ auctions for values, in middle of tax audit or in therapy.  8)

 ;D

100 over sticker is ridiculous. 90 over like the C8's is more like it.
You should be clear on the C8s as if you are talking about the Z06s then I'm sure they are out there. Talking to a "media rep" in front of MIS last month with a carbon black Z06 he said the norm was 50-75K if you wanted one now. 2-3 year waiting list if you ordered one. I don't think though even being a Shelby fan I would ever compare a new Gt500 to a Z06 Vette. Maybe in the future as Ford has their hands on one right now most likely in a manufacturer's swap. https://fordauthority.com/2022/09/ford-benchmarking-2023-chevy-corvette-z06-photos/

Ladies and Gentlemen this us the best performing and fastest mustang to date.

Everything thing pryor to this is  "OBSOLETE" !

Best performing, maybe,.......................fastest NO !

.

A friend of mine and his wife got to help build their 2014 GT500. His wife(now retired from Ford) knew the plant manager so they got in and put some parts on the car and stuff. beautiful Blue and now has (since 2014) the 50th ann super snake wheels, diff hood. I can attest how fast the car is having been in it plus it isn't stock either.  ;)
