And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Obviously needs a enormous stack of cash to restore but that really does seem to be in relatively good condition, most are not even half as good before they’re restored….
Very restorable and worth probably over $100k when completed. In 1972 I had a 66 convertible (dark metallic green) with the 289 hi-po engine that I purchased for $1000 and stupidly traded for a 70 El Camino SS. Wish I still had both.
When I was in high school in the late 70's I had a very used 67 fastback 2+2 base model. It had a 3 speed and a strait 6 with no options and it was powder blue. It was uncomfortable and slow but I couldn't afford to do anything to it so I sold it after 10 months for $1100. That is what I bought it for.
Mark, the 350H(hertz) was 1966. This car is a 65 Shelby 350. All components look to be correct, such as hood pins, scoop, wheels, gas cap, steering wheel, instrument cluster (unique to 65). I was offered one like this by my best friends mother in 1969 for 2,500 dollars after he passed away. Unfortunately I had just received my greetings from uncle Sam a couple of weeks earlier. I now own an original 67 350 GT which is worth around the 100,000 mentioned, but I guarantee this rare model will bring much more when restored. By the way the vent is correct on this year. Bubbarust
Bubbarust, I agree with you about the roof vent/glass. I was trying to make the car be a homebuilt faux-Shelby and completely forgot about the 350 GT's.

ReplyDeleteNever seen that dash hump before.
DeleteGhost, I'm probably stating the obvious, but it looks like a Shelby. 100K+, oh yes!

ReplyDeletenot an original Shelby
ReplyDeletewrong instrument cluster, rear exhaust is wrong
Roof vents behind doors should be windows instead...
DeleteSure has a lot of rust for a Georgia car.
ReplyDeleteGet the VIN, and get it over with...
ReplyDeleteRepainted GT350H? That dash lump is real Shelby stuff, maybe added later or as an option when new?

DeletePaint it a nice dark green, get s set of the JJZ 109 vintage plates, put on your black turtleneck, and go for a tour of Frisco.
ReplyDeleteGet it running and drive the heck out of it. Then sell it for a nice profit.
