This car is currently sitting at my home in Milwaukee and is being moved to my home in Arizona by November 11th if it is not sold before the transporter arrives. 

It's a very nice tribute car that's been done correctly and needs nothing.  Feel free to check it out and make an offer!!

Thanks,
George Schalk

« on: October 06, 2023, 07:10:41 PM »
Offered For Sale is my 1970 Shelby GT500 tribute. This car received a rotisserie restoration.

This Mustang started life as a 1970 Mustang Convertible and was used as a base to re-create this 1970 Shelby Mustang GT500 tribute.  The ground up restoration was started with a rust-free body and new reproduction Shelby fiberglass was used in the transformation.  The laser straight body was painted Ford Candy Apple Red and a new White Deluxe interior was installed along with a new convertible power top.  The engine is a 428 Cobra Jet that was rebuilt and detailed and is backed by a rebuilt 4 speed Top Loader transmission.  All new suspension was installed with the correct staggered rear shocks.  The restoration was completed in 2010 and the car still looks just as fresh today since it is rarely driven.

Includes:
-High quality Candy Apple Red Paint on a laser straight body in perfect condition
-428 Cobra Jet engine
-Edelbrock 4V carb, CJ exhaust manifolds, aluminum intake, heads, air cleaner assembly, 3 core radiator.
-4 Speed Top Loader Transmission w/ Hurst comp shifter
-9” rear axle assembly w/ staggered rear shocks
-White Deluxe Interior w/ Shelby console
-8,000 RPM tach with 120 MPH speedometer
-Shelby Roll Bar
-Correct Shelby chrome moldings and bright work
-Detailed underside with correct gray epoxy primer and red overspray
-Reproduction 1969-70 Shelby 15x7 wheels w/ Cooper Cobra radial tires
-Front Disc Brakes / Rear Drum brakes
-Power Steering
-Original 64,410 mile car
-VIN: 0F03L113461

Priced at -SOLD-

Feel free to contact me with any questions.  The car is located in Milwaukee, WI and can be inspected by appointment.

I used to own a 68 GT500KR that was originally sold through Johnny Bolton Ford.  The car had all of its original manuals and window sticker.  It was car #02503.

OK, I take it back. I will make one more comment, George.

You’re hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣 How can I or others take your comments seriously?!?!

I wish other got as wound up as you. This world would be a much more interesting place.

Regards,
Ruben
I'm not wound up, I'm just glad to see you finally admitted, on this forum and in your auction, what the wheels really are and how you re-created them.  That's all anyone wanted to know.  I guess my hilarious comments finally got you to speak the truth about the wheels. 

Let's hope this is my last word!!

Ruben,
For the record I did not start out by attacking you nor do I have an axe to grind.  I am sorry you feel that way.  But at this point, the gloves are off!!

There are questions about the wheels and why they were re-rimmed, but not once did you mention the reason, in your BaT auction or on this form until I made a comment giving my theory on why I thought they were re-rimmed.  Your most recent comment back to me is when you first openly admitted the wheels were made to look like 15x6 HiPo wheels.  Not once did you state that these wheels started out as a 15x5.5 wheel.  If you did mention it, please show me if I overlooked it.  It seems you are starting to back peddle at this point.  I never "assumed" the wheels started out as 15x6, but I believe you were trying to mislead us on this form and in your auction.  You stated, "These wheels are mine and I'm the one who listed them, and I can attest to them."  after being questioned.  Maybe you misunderstood everyone's questions and responses about the wheels.

And going back to previous posts, if someone comes after me and starts an attack, you better believe I will fire back. 

Thank you for finally answering the question, "So, to confirm (again):  yes - they are 15x6" wheels.  No, they did not start out as 15x6" wheels.  Are they original Shelby wheels?  Absolutely.

If you are hoping someone is going to drop $20k on a set of re-created 1965 Shelby wheels, be honest and don't try to skirt around the facts. 

And as for the last word, you are correct, I will have the last word when someone comes after me.  As for your integrity, that's all on you dude!!

Hi Ruben,

If you can attest to the authenticity of the K-H HiPo steel wheels in your BaT auction, that's great, but in my opinion, you dramatically reduced the value of the steel wheels by having new DOT 6" rims installed.  There had to be a way to save the original wheels as a whole instead of re-rimming them.

I understand having an original 65 Cragar or 67 MagStar or 69-70 Shelby wheel re-rimmed due to pitting and/or loss of chrome, but it is not common to re-rim a steel wheel, like the K-H HiPo wheels and especially a RARE set of 15x6 steelies, unless they were all damaged beyond repair or heavily rusted with holes. 

I've had wheels restored/re-rimmed with modern DOT rims and i am not a fan of them due to the fact that the originality factor is now lost.  I am sure your rims will bring decent money for what you have made of them, but I still doubt they started life as a genuine K-H FoMoCo 15"x6" HiPo wheel.  The only way I would reconsider my opinion is if I saw pictures of the wheels before they were restored.

Good Luck with your auction.     

Regards,
George Schalk

I would consider the K-H HiPo wheels being offered in the BaT auction to be a RE-CREATION or replica of the original K-H 15"x6" HiPo steel wheel. 

My guess is they were re-rimmed only because they were originally manufactured by K-H as an early 15x5 HiPo wheel or most likely they were a set of narrow width run of the mill K-H produced generic HiPo style wheels, no sign of a "FoMoCo" stamp on the center hub only the "K-H" stamp. 

With the DOT 6" rim and no "FoMoCo" stamp, I would consider these wheels to be no different than a reproduction wheel, but if you want the steel wheel look and don't have any,  these would be the next best thing to originals.
 
Certainly not worth anywhere near $20k

Thanks for your input Bob.  How many early 67’s do you think had the removable roll bar cover?

Question for Bob G. or any of the previous owners remember if #0008 had any sheetmetal replaced, mainly inner fender aprons?  Wondering if all SJ vins are still present on the inner aprons?

Any old pre-restoration pics floating around?

Thanks,
George schalk

I get it's not a perfect car. But anytime a car is listed on here it seems like everyone has to pick it apart. All the experts have to comment with all there knowledge. If some one is really interested they will search out the expert for real advise.
A potential buyer is not going to reach out to a knowledgeable "expert" if the buyer has no clue where to even go or how to contact that said expert.  The beauty part about BAT is, all the information and criticism is condensed in one area and that is in the comments section of BAT.  A potential buyer can take the comments with a grain of salt or use them to evaluate their decision on a purchase.  This only helps a buyer.  Granted some and most of the comments aren't worth anything, but those are the ones that can be taken with a grain of salt.

It says bid to not sold?
The seller mentioned in the comments that himself and the high bidder came to an agreement after the auction and made a deal.
