Owned 6S2378 for 41 years. Wife drove it for one summer. Then went in a barn hibernating till 2015.

That car is so valuable it comes with it's own Police guard dog!

Dog went for test rides down the street to warm it up. Went to a good home. We went to visit it last June.

Agree.  It all depends on what's there and what's not and whether you're doing your own work or farming it out.  For the sake of discussion, reading the eBay listing, say it sold for the asking price of $80K and the buyer had the listing shop do a top-notch restoration for the quoted $125K...would the car bring $205K in today's market?

Yes the $125k + Parts. That in itself could be very expensive.

I can see 6S2378!   

Not in 76 !! maybe 74 at the Norwalk event. Just my own opinion of course. after the event it was driven for the summer and never driven again until it surfaced in 2015.

Makes you wonder who is bidding on it. 

Thanks guys. We had a few 65/66/68 convertibles. After I bought the 66 Shelby (1974) I got a lot of stuff from Ford. It was amazing how much stuff was still available back then. Oh well. That was yesterday and yesterdays gone as the song goes. Have 2 barns to finish cleaning out ! Damm if these barns could talk !! Dad was a packrat an unfortunately I got it to

It's rusty, but not un-restorable.

Whats goin to be left after all the sheet metal replacement ? Would you be able to find old rust free parts ?

Ok finding more stuff every time I start digging. Found 4 NOS 65/66 sill plates I bought in 1974. were not in a package. I forget if they were when I got em. need some cleaning up. Did a little digging an according to Marti Auto Works they are different from Converts to reg Mustangs. ?? I don't remember any difference. Then had the stickers for them. Middle one is original from 6S2378. What years are they used? # plates from 2007
   I had a new 70 Mach 1 CJ. Found this hanging on the barn wall. I remember goin to a short throw super shifter. Don't remember saving it.  Any info on this? The stuff ya pack away and forget.

Owner of many Shelby cars since 1972. 2 small blocks (66/70)  Many big blocks (67/68 GT500s, 70 Mach 1 CJ drag pack cars, 427 Cobra's old and new). As ya get older they seem to loose the interest ya had for them. Die hard big block guy. But now after all these years I probably could live with a small block car. I keep looking for something new. Attention span isn't what it use to be. These are 2 toys we use as summer cars. Guess what one is the most fun !! 

Hi Gurmpy,

"Good deal" is for the car is no longer MIA.  The asking price is not such a good deal.  I agree with you.  The metal work will be expensive.  It is the not seen rust that should scare any potential buyer.

Ahhh. ok .. Old brain didn't read between the lines. 

$90k ?? Obviously you guys see something I don't  Looks like the drivers floor is hanging down ? You'd be so upside down in the car$$$ wise. All my old eyes see is a money pit.  Cool find though.

Thanks Bob. Here is the top.
