That car should bring 80 to 100 grand. A buddy of mine offered 60 for it a few years back but the lady wouldn't sell. People are flying in to bid on it this time but I still doubt it breaks 100.

I'd say you're right in the ballpark. The pictures show that some stuff is missing emissions-wise. The mileage, if genuine, should drive the bidding up, especially if there is documentation.

I had a '68 GT500; great fun!

Car will buff out! $91,500

My guess is it will top 100K , then it will be buffed and polished and end up at Barret-Jackson and someone with too much money will pay around 150K+ for it.
mmm. maybe I should bid on it!

It does not look like a 9700 mile car to me.

Watch the auctions, color dictates. Green near the bottom of the popularity chart. Red and Black rules and brings the top dollar

Wet garage or basement any rust ?

The add has a disclaimer about the mileage. People who have known about this car for years say the son once said "not bad for a 108,000 mile Shelby" My buddy called today to see if the car was available for viewing today and the auction company said "sure, come on over, we have about 250 people waiting in line right now! YIKES.

I just recieved a phone call about the K.R. This is second hand info but the word is it went over 235.000! Reggie Jackson is there and a rep for Leno was bidding as well.......sheesh!
