69 Shelby GT 500, ALL ORIGINAL from the tires to the plug wires, with 8500 miles on the clock, last on the road in in 1972, but yet still maintained and cranked over as recently as 3 years ago..................

UMMMMMMM yeah this is going to go for many very shinny pennies at auction

[E30_Pare]

Still dont think I'd fetch more than 750k

[mrsleeve]

that is a rather large pile of pennies though still

[E30_Pare]

yea, but you'd think a "holy grail" car would deserve more. Wheres that story with the GT40 garage find?

found it. http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/car-c...ound-in-garage

Sleeve, this guy is your long lost Indian brother, right?

That is nuts. Many pennies indeed.

I think that image is not of the same car?

[mrsleeve]

Einhorn I think he prolly got that from me.

Nice !!!! Wonder if it had a 289 or 427 ?

[QUKBMER]

How about the episode on fast and loud (gas monkey garage) with them finding a 1969 boss 429 mustang ? It only pulled $160.000

[mrsleeve]

BOSS is bad ass but is NOT A SHELBY........................ SHELBY name on original car will add significantly to the pedigree and there for the pricing. I see 1/2 mill dropped on this car at auction if not upwards of 800k

[QUKBMER]

Yes true but these cars are just as rare and have fetched upwards of over 500 to 600.000 dollars or more.

[z31maniac]

If this is the car that ended up on TV awhile ago, it ended up selling at auction for $160k.

The '69 is not super desireable, look at it. It's fucking hideous. The '66-68 cars have the crazy value.

here ya go... this was not that long ago...

A 1967 Chevrolet Corvette with just 2,996 miles on the odometer and one of the most interesting tales to tell is going on sale at the Mecum Auctions Houston event in April.
