66 mustang?

[onewhippedpuppy]

Now you have us curious, and you know how annoying we can be! Maybe it's a Shelby GT350? Here's one that was found in a garage in KS last year. You just never know......

Rare 1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback found in garage at Lawrence apartment complex off Four Wheel Drive / LJWorld.com

And maybe take some good images for those that might be interested!!

Another long neglected GT 350 was found and just auctioned at Barret / Jackson for $350K.
Might be worth checking out.

I know of someone last year (will keep name private) but fanagled to finally acquire an original 66 GT350 including paint, wheels... rust and all its glory, from the original owner cost just under $200k as is. The restoration cost needed is another story and don't know how those numbers finalized. But after seeing the bucket of rust, modified Falcon (well, thats really what they are ), I came to the conclusion it doesn't matter anymore what the price some are willing to pay. If you have unlimited sackloads of cash and you want it badly, you don't count dollars.

Onto the speculation of the OP. Even if its a minty notchback, correct package car, 289 and Pony interior, your safe at that price. Easily $20 to $25,000 in the midwest market retail. Should add... if its a molested car with aftermarket... deduct accordingly.

Oh, there is one like that down the hill from me with a bunch of kids driving it. I mean a few 20 years old kids with a Lambo, Ferrari and some European sedan of some kind. I think they were / are pro skaters. How do I know if its a real Shelby or Original car? What am I looking for? Now, I gotta go find her this weekend.

200k is to much. I drove this original car from Texas back to California a few months back. We actually got home the day CS died. Paid over 100K but well south of 200K. It also had original paint, motor, tranny ect....



I should add, its not my car. I just co drove with my buddy who bought it.

That's a Shelby fast back, not just any fast back, right?

Yes sir. Built in Los Angeles by Shelby American....

Look171- To get up to speed quickly and knowing whats correct or not, a really terrific reference source is an older publication by Ray Miller and titled Mustang Does It. Hope your find works out good!

In complete agreement. I took pics of it as delivered... you could see the gorund thru the trunk. Out of respect, I don't want to post them or mention who has it, but it clearly was nothing about the cost. He just had it in his mind to have that car. It's now nearly finished and will be a top trophy winner. Most Shelby restorations are overdone, but not this one. Being genuine original it was a good template of what the factory and Shelby was putting out back then. The overspray to little details of what fasteners held the lights on, chassis parts, ink stamping's, etc. will make that car a purist dream. Yeah its laughable and silly money but thank goodness there are those who can do it and turn the clocks back. In the end, this buyer will always be a winner and this particular Shelby will increase in value.

What if its only a regular (is that a correct way of saying it) fastback not Shelby? How much for a nice one, not a garage queen?

Thanks, Jim. I will have something to by.

Make sure to get the vin when you go look at it. We can figure out the car from there

[onewhippedpuppy]

VIN, take lots of pictures, post here and you'll have plenty of help figuring it out. Engine block casting number is on the RH side near the back, above the starter.

[Jim Bremner]

ask if you can wash the car. If there's water on the carpet where your feet sit on the floor there's a rust problem in the cowl. $2k problem + paint.

Screw the oldies...buy a new Boss 302, then go hunting for BMW M3's...

Or, a new GT500 and....enjoy 650 out of the showroom horsepower...
