Looks like a good buy for someone who wanted a black Shelby and did not mind a color change

Mike, How about a LLC in Montana and eliminate the taxes on it altogether.

Serious reading and wise counsel is encouraged before you go down this road.

I agree, and I went through this about 15 years ago as I started building my Shelby and Corvette collections.  I like to drive my cars, frequently, to numerous events. I have a friend who is a State Police officer and he said they are very aware of what he called the "Montana scam" to evade taxes in NM, so are very vigilant in spotting cars with Montana plates.  If you don't have a NM title and thus a NM registration and plate, they have a law here that provides for fines if you live here and continue to drive around with an out of state car.  That is enough for me.

Georgia has done the same thing on cracking down on Montana plates here

PARTS HOUSES have been out of the 69 pin for a while...I used a 67-68 pin before fits fine just slightly different

may check with West Coast Cougar

or All Classic Motors http://www.allclassicmustang.com/1969MustangPartsNew.html

Bill how much does he want for the package?
Has he posted on the S Code registry page on Facebook?

Sorry we are off topic here

Well ought to be a 25 percent deduction for washing off the Barn Find dust

So appears this auction was used to try to set the 'floor' for the car......so now on to the next one......Amelia maybe?

Wow! High bids already. I'm very familiar with this car. Some of you have seen the "Before Restoration" pictures. I hope the seller is very transparent about the car's history. I'm going to keep an eye on this one. And, no, I won't make any negative comments in the auction.

Does the Good Book have the restoration info in it?

The Florida salvage title lists it as "rebuildable". I don't think its a big deal considering its documented now.

The vendors retail value is laughable. I wonder what their reserve is?

does a rebuildable title requires a new state issued VIN?

Rule #1.....always have a fire extinguisher in your car......both personal car and collector car

I have personally put out 3 car fires ( others) in the last 5-7 years.

Coralsnake you Da Man

The car has a great history.......

Did you see the nice blue one in the For Sale section by cape cod Mustang?
