WANT:1967-1970 Shelby GT 500 restoration vehicle

[leebrijp]

I am looking for a shelby gt 500 b/w the years of 1967-1970 restoration vehicle. I dont care even if its a rusty piece of junk. I have a budget of around 5 grand to spend for the car. I have a 1968 ford mustang coupe that is white and has an inline 6 in it that is 200 cubic inch differential that is in good condition that i am willing to trade to increase the trade value along wit money to get a nice decent shelby but i prefer not to trade this because i would need a vehicle to transport while i restore the shelby. If you have such a car you can contact me by email at [email protected] or [email protected] or by phone (704)545-1182 and ask for jp. If you have this vehicle i would be glad to take it off your hands. I WOULD PREFER A 1967 BUT ANY YEAR IS FINE. THANKS JP

That $5000 won't even cover the purchase price of even a rusty Shelby GT350, let alone a 500. Better start looking in old farmer's barns if you want one at that price.

 

[TireSmoknWindsr]

If you throw in a couple extra maybe 30,000 dollars you might just get one.

I saw a totally wasted, incomplete '67 GT500 on ebay about a year ago that got bid up to $20,000 and didn't meet the reserve. Heck, even rusty fastback shells are going for more than $5,000.

joke right?

joke right?

Apparently you've never heard that there's an "Eleanor craze" in progress now?

 

[Pakrat]

Then the obvious solution given the $$ restraints is to clone one over time, especially if you are are in a situation where your current bargaining chip is your required daily driver. Crawl before you walk.

Uh yeah but I meant 5k budget.

 

[65shlbycln]

haha, a 5k budget is barely gonna get you a decent fastback. i found mine for about that price, but it was a 200ci 3spd, grey thing with red velvet interior...


you wont even come close to a shelby with 5k

I had the old cliche happen to me the other day. Was driving south of Austin through a little town called "Mustang Ridge" (I shat you not, ask anyone from around here) with a buddy joking about finding an old Shelby behind some barn when we actually saw one on a trailer behind a trailerhome. It was a 68 350 hard top. Body was rough, no rust but no paint left either. Interior was coated with dust but complete. Engine did not look like it had run in years. Backseat was filled with a large box of parts, some original some NOS. Owner came out and asked if we wanted to buy it. He wanted...

...$2,500.00 for the whole thing!

Actrually this was not "the other day" unless you call 1984 the other day. At the time I was driving my $200.00 '67 coupe and the $2,500 might as well have been $25,000. Oh well, it IS a true story.

I guess thats what Happens when TNT plays gone in 60 seconds for two night in a row.

Lee - Do you know what an actual 67-70 gt500 looks like? The body styles vary from those years. Your best bet would to buy a 67 fastback and then make it a gt500/gt350/eleanor (take your pic) Clone. OR, do what some of us do "restomod" it.


GP - Not many people know about the new classifieds FORUM on stang net. Sure beats the old style they had!

 

[1320stang]

GP - Lighten up man. Hardly anyone checks the classifieds for wanted cars. This would be a GREAT place to find out that info - especially since it is about a rare classic.

THERE'S A CLASSIFIEDS ON STANGNET?!?!?!??!

 

[D.Hearne]

THERE'S A CLASSIFIEDS ON STANGNET?!?!?!??!

YOU DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE CLASSIFIEDS HERE? WHERE YOU BEEN ? i JUST BOUGHT A 65 SHELBY THERE FOR $100!!! SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING

Shelby Source

Lee...

Don't know where you are from, but I know a dealer in the Harrisburg PA area that has a few, and knows of many Shelby's for sale. Here's the link - www.bcfords.com

Good luck, and be ready to crack your wallet open wide

DOH!!!!

David, you coming up to OK to the FE Nats in the spring?

If you still have that $600 390, I might very possibly be interested to put it into my '76 F-250 instead of rebuilding the 390 I have. It'd get it back on the road sooner anyway.
