Remember that 7500 mile Shelby I found?

[chepsk8]

It's going to be sold on Barrett-Jackson. Here's the link to the car...

I know the last private sale price, so I am curious on what it brings....

 

[2nd Mustang]

What a waste, no third pedal...

 

[chepsk8]

Who cares if it has any pedals!

When I found this car, it was a time capsule! It probably did have original air in the tires! This car made my jaw drop, and that's tough to do.

That's the one that had the primer grey side scoop on the passenger side. They sure did a crappy job making it match! Enlarge that bottom picture and you will see what I mean.

That aside, it sure was a find. When I first read this post I thought it was that other dark one in the shipping container or barn that had the original F-70s leaning up against the wall beside it.

To my knowlege, that dark blue 67 was never sold.

Do you know if they decided to restore it, or is it another car lost in the land of "someday"?

So you're the SAAC Hemmings God that they were talking about in the description?
And remember before you answer that, what they said in Ghostbusters.

"... If someone asks if you're a god you say YES!"

 

[chepsk8]

Yes

"Yes" (though I hate being acclaimed like that. I'm just a car guy like all of you.)


KK - I never did find out, so I am guessing it's just sitting up there in South Dakota.

Yeah, but you have one of the coolest jobs that I know of. beats being a cubicle jockey.

Do you have the article that you wrote out on the web some where for that car?

 

[chepsk8]

Not on the web, but I can send it if you want it.

 

[65mistress]

Please do, I would like to read it.

 

[chepsk8]

Need an e-mail addy, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez?

You honestly do have the best job in the world, I should have went into journalism or something like that, I would have had a happier life, instead i went with computers, now all i get to do it sit online and dream while other people play.

 

[65mistress]

Ooops, my bad.. jaggerd @ yahoo.com

Andy, you're going into a career where you can play while others work, granted the whole carrying a pager and getting the call at unholy hours of the day sucks, but you'll get your chance to have a good time.

Geez thanx!
Now we're gonna have to dig an addition to the Gutter just to accomodate His High Holiness' ego!



BTW Dan,

I'm happy to just be a minion.

Oops, sorry for that, didn't mean to balloon his ego...
I'm happy to be a minion too.

 

[chepsk8]

Blue!!!

thought you hibernated for the Winter....

Nah, those who know me know a big ego is not my thing. Just many years of hard work and plain luck stepping into these on rare occasions.

 

[65stanger]

Wish I could.........nope, just getting over (I hope) bronchitis, my computer was on the fritz and work has been driving me nutz.............

on the auto side.......I've got the skin on the pass. door shell, bonded and skin edges rolled, just need to hit it w/ a couple of spot welds, sand, prep and paint (primer) and she'll be ready to hang.

Dan - If you have time, I'd like a copy of that article.
Might be working on the Cougar (in my ever-dwindling spare time); but I'd still like a Stang - especially a Shelby; from when he was good!
