Who cares, that is a great price for a real gt500 with a stick, if I was in the market I would buy it.
+1, It is a good price for a 500 4 speed from Cali.



Yes, being a California car alone is worth the price! I was spoiled growing up in Los Angeles we would pass on a car if it had a dime size hole in the lower quarter and we would call it a "rust bucket". With the number of Shelby's running around today with "bodies by China" it's nice to see a solid car.

I've owned a few Calif cars and being in the rust belt I really appreciated the solid bodies and none pitted components and not breaking bolts taking the cars apart. My favorite one was a full resto I did on a 69 Mach1 DSOed out of Los Angeles. 4 speed shaker zero rust car. The latch support which was original was stamped "Made De Mexico".

Indian Fire red? Someone at our local Toyota dealer in 1985 traded an Indian Fire red on a Toyota. I went NUTS and went to check my bank account and didn't have enough, went to my Dad in law, went back with cash.......It was gone :(  Price, $3295!!

Alex,

Back around 1994 when I just finished my Los Angeles DSOed 69 R-code Mach1 an old friend who moved to LA  after a divorce to find work had a 69 Mach1 had stopped by. He drove his motorcycle back to Mi to visit his ailing Dad. The prices he quoted he could buy rust free 69s for(He is the one who got me hooked on 69s in HS) I told him to send any my way. Never happened and I lost track of him.  :(

In 82 when I was looking for my Shelby,there was a 69 boss 429 in primer for sale in L.A. for I believe $4800 ,but I held out for a Shelby.Wish I had the cash for both... :'(

I don't know about an easy fix back to Grabber Blue. Jambs and everything else adds $$$$$  up quick.

I have an estimate from a So Cal custom painter for $15k to paint back to original color GRABBER BLUE...plus rubbers and stripe kit.  He is Hagerty approved and does nice work.
