You can do a recent auction search for prices. Ebay has lots of non sellers. If I was serious about getting rid of the cars, I would drag take them to the National SAAC meet in Utah in July, or the Mid America meet this week in Tulsa.
66 Shelby's have a wide range of pricing. The earlier cars and the Hertz cars seem to command a higher price tag. The combinations of color, and options can make or break a car. Modifications, or a non correct engine / tranny will hurt the price.
The market goes a little nuts around the time of the Barrett - Jackson auctions in January, and is now back to a real market. I would love to add 66 Shelby, but the time isn't right for me....

If the link dont work just go to the NADA website, there is a classic car link, dont know how accurate this is, but its a ref point.
When I got my 65 Fastback, I bought it for about 2k less then fair market value, and I looked for about 5 months for the car.

My sister lives there! She'll swap you her Acura! Just kidding!
I'm a national officer of SAAC, and work with many buyers/sellers, and can propbably give you a fair value of the GT-350, and most likely SELL it for you quickly, painlessly, and all you do is collect the money. Interested? PM or e-mail me. I will need pics and info about the car. MOST IMPORTANT - the Shelby VIN. I will make no promises until I can verify that. Way too much fraud out there, and a early GT-350 is easy to fake.
Many know me here, no BS, just a fair shake.

Barrett Jackson or Christies.
Bad for you - now is not a good time to be selling high dollar collector cars since the real estate market has flattened out.

I think that early VIN 65 is much rarer and desirable than the car described in this post. It's got very low miles, a concors level pedigree on the restoration, etc...
No offense to the poster here, but "a restored 66 Shelby" doesn't offer a whole lot of info.
What one man considers a restoration could be seen as a hack job to another.
I have seen "restored" Stangs sell and heard the buyer immediately making plans for a total rotisseirie teardown! All the while complaining that the supposed restoration made for extra work. "Thank goodness they went down on the price."

I've got some change in my seat cusions that I could give you for them.
Seriously I have no idea what they are worth.

on the 2+2...my nephew just bought one at the kruse auction, clean, california car.60,000 documented miles, 289 auto, pony interior, has been in a museum for 18 years. it needs SOME work, but not a lot, he paid 14,500. i would say he got a good deal, so if your 2+2 is a nice, correct resto,depending on the options, 18,000 - 20,000 wouldnt be unreasonable.
I took pictures of the car including the VIN. Too bad but the restoration of each was not the best just average. All numbers match, no modifications either. I do understand that I will have to take all of this into condersation when it does come time to sell. The mother in law is still dealing with his death so it might be a few months before she gets around to selling them. chepsk8 you will be hearing from me as soon as I get the vin off the pictures. I looked @ the other web sites to find the price of the 2+2 also and they were a big help. Thanks guys! I knew you would be the ones to ask for help.
There are actually two VIN's that you will want to know. The first VIN is the Shelby tag found in the engine compartment. This tag is held on by two pop rivets. The second VIN you want to know, is stamped under the Shelby VIN. Drill out one of the rivets, slide the Shelby VIN out of the way, and obtain the number that is underneath that. Take both those numbers and call SAAC with them. Rick Kopec usually keeps the VIN list closely guarded. With both numbers, he can advise you about the validity of those numbers, and if they match. Serious buyers will usually demand these numbers, but don't post the VIN number under the Shelby VIN, also known as the FORD VIN until a deal is pretty much hammered out. One deal had the check on the table, while Kopec was called. Keep the FORD VIN secret until you see the money!!!! Sometimes SAAC will tell potential buyers that you have called in to verify the car, and that you did have a real Shelby. Or you can make arrangements to call in at a certain time to talk with them. Part of the Ford VIN will also be stamped on the engine block, and on the side of the 4 speed trannies.
65, 66, and 67 Shelby VIN tags are easy to obtain and stamp, what preserves them is the cooresponding FORD VIN underneath, otherwise there would 6 or 7 times the number of Shelby's made on the road.

Based on the info you have given (a "driver" restoration) and assuming that the VINS match and the car has not been cut in half or suffered any other serious damage then I would estimate the GT350H to be worth between $75K and $125K.
I know that you will see sales results for these cars around $200K but those are really, really nice cars.

If it's a real GT350H, paying to have it appraised by a professional classic car appraiser would be a good idea too. I bet chepsk8 could refer you to a reputable appraiser. Then you will have an appraisal report to back up the car. Never used one, just thought it might be a good idea?
