1 owner, only 29k on the clock. He bought it new but jobs around the world all of his life have limited his driving time. Now he's too old and injured to drive it.
To be auctioned. Any guesses what it's worth...or more accurately, what someone will pay for it?

SHELBY GT350

What a beautiful Shelby...

I'd love to drive it just once.

Saw a GNX posted on twitter - 9 original miles. All plastic on the inside. #41X made - they wanted over 300k for it.

I imagine this one will go for quite a bit for sure.

$500K

Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue is my all-time favorite color scheme on a Mustang.

Near car, too bad owner didn't get to enjoy.

Same here.

I'm gonna guess it will go for around $425,000.

I remember when I was a kid I went with my Dad to a Ford dealership and looked at a '65 (or '66 ?) GT350 in their showroom. Wowsa. It was bare knuckles stripped down ready to race. No carpeting, no headliner, no radio, 5 point race "seatbelt", back seat replaced with an aluminum fuel cell, full roll cage. All I could do was drool.

Then the Ford marketing nerds got hold of it and in following years added creature comforts and weight.

Agreed but I'm also a sucker for the old Gulf Oil livery on a car.

I don't know if they still offer it but they used to sell basically a roller mustang. Stripped down like you say but no drivetrain for people to buy and race with. Drag/autocross etc. Recent body styles too.

They had the Cobra Jet Program too.

I'm thinking seven figures.

In 2000 Ford built 300 SVT Cobra R’s.

My french teacher in high school had one just like it. Supposedly her husband was a race car driver of some sort. She had very short skirts for 1967.

1.75 mil

The old terminator Cobras - Ferrari killers. AMAZING cars that just punched above their weight. 2003, rated at 390 hp, was more like 430

He needs to take that thing to Barrett-Jackson or Mecum auctions and let them auction it off in front of the high rollers......I'm betting it would go north of $500k.....

Ok, just read it and he is auctioning it at Mecum Indy on Saturday......pls let us know what it goes for....

In the mid 80's when I was a Washington State Trooper working S. Seattle one of my fellow Troopers ask me to follow him home one afternoon. We parked in his driveway and he started walking across the street and said to follow him. Walked to the house across the street and my friend walked into the garage and hit the door openers. Sitting SxS were a GT350 and GT500. The owner came out and we started talking and he said if you wanted to go straight really fast you drove the 500, but if you wanted to go fast a turn you wanted the 350. He said the 500's never really handled that well.

$6-700,000 is my guess considering that our money is severely devalued at the moment. Beautiful car.

I raced a 1966 Shelby GT 350 from 1971-1974. People forget how light cars of that era were - especially the Shelby's. No back seat, just a molded plastic piece. The front end would get kind of floaty at high speed, but they did handle decently - again for the times (and the tires). At the time I had a contact at Parnelli Jone's Firestone shop. He could get me used front Firestone Indy Car tires for cheap. Jones did bunch of testing and often the tires only had a lap or two on them. They worked great for short races. It was a true Unfair Advantage (in Mark Donahue's parlance).

Friend of mine has the same car, except it is one of the "carry over" units. Carryover refers to the first 252 of the 1966 G.T. 350's. It has many of the same mechanical features as the 1965, including over-ride traction bars and lowered front suspension. So, these carryover cars are worth more than a regular 1966 G.T. 350 according to some. This one has less than 20k miles, but is not as pristine as the one above. He raced it in the early 70's, then it spent 1978-just recently in the garage with boxes stored on it. They were going to do a resto on it, but thankfully decided to keep it original, racing patina and all.

I love old cars.....and trucks..................BUT I want to hear more about this Frenchy in a miniskirt!

Yep. Folks with deep pockets looking for somewhere to park cash. Art and other collectibles at auction going at record high prices.

Gorgeous car...super jealous

Yeah Buddie. That's a nice ride.

+1 pics or it didn’t happen

Beautiful car! I’d pay good money just to take her around the track once. Bucket list sorta thing. Like my ride in a P-51D.

There’s a lot of disposable money out there right now and it’s been on Fox. Plus she’s cherry and they’re not making anymore of those. $1.2mm

Probably a close guess. Pathetic that they won’t consider my 10k offer.

Seems insane what ppl pay for classic cars.

Betcha Leno will be there either personally or represented.

Probably go for $300-400k. Should have put it on BaT instead of Mecum. Would take home a lot more of the money that’s bid on it.

That would be my guess, also.

He takes all of the money bid on it. The buyer pays the extra for the auction premium.

Clyde

Can you imagine the capital gains he will pay, especially if the IRS considers it a collectible.

Realistically, should go for ~$400,000, but boozed-up bidders will run it up higher than that.

A kid I went to high school with had a 67 fastback with a paint scheme like this one. Beautiful car. Had a little 289 in it. One evening I watched him line up against a 68 trunk-back Mustang packing a 351 Windsor. That little 289 ate his lunch.

If I had Elon Musk's wallet, that car would be mine ! It is my all time favourite model and if Ford made that same model with a more up to date suspension and interior and with the 5 litre engine, they would sell all they could make. It's visual appeal is timeless.

Half a mil, minimum

The car would be worth a lot more OEM to a real collector

Unfortunately He added a supercharger after he bought it.

Warning:

Don’t ever go to a Barrett-Jackson or Mecum car auction with wads of money in your pocket plus your checkbook and when you’ve been drinking.

Don’t. Do. It.

$775,000

Does it come with a full tank of gas or not?

If the max capital gains is taxed at 28% and we assume that it sells for $700k then capital gains is roughly $196,000….chump change for a guy paying $700k in cash for an old car. 😁

That’s 196k worth of tax if his gain is 700k, not just the sale price. Doubtful that’s the case.

Sweet ride.

Ask and ye shall receive:

A friend of mine recently took delivery of a GT-350. I think it set him back ~$250k or so. Nice car.

My brother bought this '67 GT-500 when he graduated from college in 1975. It had a 427 medium riser engine. Needless to say, it scooted. He gave $4700 for it. He later repainted it back to the original colors. I saw 7K in a 7 litre.

I drove my brothers ‘68 GT350 in the early 80’s. It was fun but then he got engaged and sold it 🙁

I hope around the 600ish range. Be great if he gets more. Mustangs usually do pretty good at auction

I'd be amazed if it didn't.

It is easier than learning all the famous painters names. But a bag of diamonds fits in your pocket.

Of all the Mustangs ever made, that one would definitely be near the top of my list.

I don’t know that the supercharger will hurt as it’s a period correct Paxton. That was ‘the brand’ in those days.

And was also an option in 1966.

SOLD. $396,000

I was WAY off. Some were pretty close here.
