missing a center cap on the front wheel

Anyone put these on a 289 street car??  Or would they not be appropriate..

I'm not aware of anyone here that examined these cars. That said ,..unless I'm mistaken the info here or on a previous thread or threads would be based on Registry info or conversations with Howard and/or previous owner who has these cars for years.

"Take-away,".......Everyone needs a Registry

That is correct, I did not inspect the two cars in person because a registrar did and he was my reference on the facts pertaining to the cars.

I agree- everyone should have a registry and everyone should always consult with the appropriate registrar when considering the purchase of one of these cars. But, no matter how many times you and I say that, some people will still choose not to buy a registry and the vast majority of buyers won't contact the appropriate registrar.

Which I think is insane...but it's the norm any more. Especially when talking about 65 Shelbys...I couldn't imagine ever buying one without checking with Howard first.

And, worth noting, it is always best to give the registrars any info you might have on a given car. They do an incredible job and you are much more likely to receive more if you show these guys that you are also willing to contribute your thoughts and observations (as in: be a "team player") instead of merely taking info all the time.

Kind regards,
Vern

When I win the lottery I am calling Vern.

5S433 there was a long forum thread about this car and another 65 which was owned by the same gentleman. They were sold as a pair to the next owner. Guess that thread is long gone though now.

Vern

Vern is being very diplomatic but I don't think considering the two in question that a additional suggestion would be out of line that the history of the pair be thoroughly checked out so a potential buyer knows what they are getting .

But their website says "Matching number"  and it has a authentic Shelby signature.  You are't saying they would make false claims are you?

If I won the Lotto 039 would be in my garage. Super cool car. I saw it a few times while it was in Jim's shop. You know it's done right and the stripe delete really looks nice! The only thing cooler would be it sitting on steel wheels... which could always be added  ....

is 039 in california?  think I saw it at the Shelby Birthday show.

The last listing is an interesting combo.  I mentioned in a another thread that Legendary Motorcars had purchased the 2015 Shelby GT350 50th Anniversary car when the market for these cars was hot.  That market has since cooled dramatically, and they haven't been able to sell it so far.  So, I'm guessing that they are trying to get creative by combining it with the 65 Shelby.

We'll see. 

they have been trying to sell the 65 for a while too.  I think the last time I posted it, it was mentioned that the restoration is not all that it could be.
