Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Was this sold by someone's disgruntal wife?  :o :o :o

There were engine and exposed drivers side front apron under the tag in a 2007 ad .  Was on the site before the crash. Like always hope the buyer was fully aware when bidding and purchasing.

Informed and happy is the best way to end a purchase

Not fully understanding this comment.

I guess it was buyer's remorse;

It was one of the few GT500's with a k code Ford vin. Seen that before. Maybe that scared him thinking it was a SB rebody .

My 3074 is one of them. When I got the Marti report back, I got this note, Doug, I don't know how to tell you this, but there is something wrong with your car.

Now this is from Marti.

In discussing this with the 67 Registrar, the original quote from the Registry was, "there are several GT500's in and around this car (meaning mine) that are originally stamped with a K engine code".

That was the Registry comment.

In discussing this verbally it went like this, "Doug...IT'S A FACTORY MISTAKE".

So as far as I know, that's where it stands and because the Ford numbers are kept confidential (and should be) there is little discussed publicly about it. As a result it's not surprising at all that a new buyer would be very suspect and as Kopec might put it "buyers were staying away in droves?"



Now I suppose that anything I say that is not in 100% agreement with the powers that be are interpreted as "I'm an enemy of the people" so to speak? That seems to be a popular position to take these days? In my case, and yes admittedly this is a selfish statement on my part, I'd be better served (as well as the entire group of unfortunates) with more public knowledge of this group of cars? How that would come about, I don't know but I'm not the one in that position.  ;)



Even so, a 70k something sale is ridiculous and the only thing I can think of is that the old term of "fire sale" must be applicable here? I wouldn't go as far as saying the seller was stupid, more likely some sort of gun against their head, but stupidity is actually one of the possibilities here.

I'm not sure how any of the auction houses would approach this situation but the fact that this car appears to have been sold on Ebay may in fact be an answer to that question?



I wouldn't at all be surprised if someone(s) in that sale, like the seller, to this day STILL has never heard of SAAC or the Registry or even if they have given any credence to the legitimacy of anything? I've run across those people too in the past. Still do unfortunately. :(

"What the Eff is a SAAC?"



Certainly many still don't use the term Concourse correctly or accurately in the sale or advertising of a car? Heck, I still can't spell it right?  Isn't that some kind of a beer? I think I saw that in a tv commercial?  ;D

I think he said... I don't always do CONCOURSE, but when I do, I Sack or Suck or Saki or ahhh errr Saac. Most people don't know the difference or even care. But when they do this is where they come for advice. ;)

We have a dozen or more GT 500 cars with K codes. The consecutive number however is correct. Mixed in with these cars are a group of GT 350 cars that were stamped with A codes. Their consecutive numbers are also correct. Someone at Ford stamped these cars incorrectly but they are the real deal.

The way Kevin Marti reacted to this, it was like he never heard about it. The Ford records don't match the cars. Frankly, it makes me question his accuracy? :(

I wonder if this would have shown up earlier if the Warranty tags were still on the doors?

Pretty sure auction is a scam. Another gold 68 gt 350 convertible on EBay now has a similar request at the end of the description.  "Please reply with your cell phone number, no time wasters via email"
