1965 GT350 5029 "CSSHPD"

Sold

Without question, one of the most significant 65 GT350s in existence today. This particular example was one of 3 cars originally used at the Carroll Shelby School of Hi Performance Driving and, further, was the personal car of head instructor John Timmanus. Additionally, this example is the 29th GT350 produced and, as such, was one of the hyper-desirable "Venice-built" GT350s. This is a distinction enjoyed by only the first 35 or so cars produced for the 1965 model year. Due to its early serial number, 5029 lacks the "S" or "R" in the serial number which cars #32 and later featured..

See those 1966 GT350 quarter windows? They were factory installed on this car during its service at the racing school!

Being the instructor's car, it is believed that 5029 was built to a higher spec than that of the other two cars used at the school. This is based on personal accounts of Shelby Mustang race shop workers who were tasked with maintaining the cars. For now, that is all we will say about that.

This car was bought out of the long term ownership of beloved SoCal enthusiast Bruce Kawaguchi and is now sitting in what is perhaps one of the most prominent collections of Shelby Mustangs in the country with another great client and friend.

Bruce was a dear friend and a customer since the earliest days of my business. I will be forever indebted to him for his support and it was an honor to serve his widow Judy in finding the next rightful home for 5029.

1965 Shelby GT350 Drag Unit

1 of 4 produced for 1965, 1 of 3 existing today

SFM5S327

Sold

This car was probably the most unusual and spectacular find which I have ever made. 5S327 was one of 4 original “Drag Units” produced by Shelby American in 1965 in cooperation with Les Ritchey of Performance Associates fame.

These cars were equipped with the best of everything from a 5.14 rear end ratio to a competition specification engine, special shocks, massive Thunderbolt traction bars and MUCH more from the factory!

This particular car was purchased new in Honolulu, Hawaii at Honolusu Auto Center. Oddly, Honolulu Auto Center seemingly ordered the car without a buyer already set up for the car. As a result, the car sat on their showroom for a long period of time. Eventually, it was purchased by its first owner and, by the early 70s, found its way to a the owner who would retain ownership of the car until 2015 when I purchased the car from him.

How you see the car in the “discovery” pictures on this page is how I found it. The car was stored in an outside carport atop a hill in Honolulu. One side of the hill overlooked Waikiki Beach while the other side looked over Pearl Harbor. The car was stored with plywood leaned up against it and 3 tarps on top in order to prevent neighborhood cats and rodents from getting underneath it!

Despite being stored outside, it was on the “dry side” of the hill which rarely saw rain. As a result, almost unbelievably, the car survived the test of time with no rust and retaining 100% of its original drivetrain. The owner who retained the car from 1972 to 2015 drove it over 47,000 miles on the street before ultimately parking it where you see in the photographs.

I called the owner of the car every month for 3 years before the owner gave me permission to come see the car. I traveled to Hawaii the first time to buy the car but the owner ultimately decided not to sell it as he was so emotionally attached to the car. I traveled to see the car a second time during my wife and I’s honeymoon about a year later during which visit the owner told me it was nearing the time to sell the car. Finally, I went back a third time and got the car! Sometimes determination and a whole lot of airfare pays off!

This car was sold to the prestigious Segerstrom Collection where it now resides following a meticulous restoration performed by marque expert Tim Lea!

1966 Shelby GT350

SFM6S018

Sold

Without question, one of the coolest Shelby Mustangs I have ever found and purchased.

This car, 6S018, was one of 4 “Drag Unit” GT350s produced for 1966 in cooperation with Les Ritchey of Performance Associates.

Of the 4 cars produced, only 3 remain in existence.

This example has hidden away in Fontana, CA for 35+ years and was wildly well preserved when discovered. I purchased the car out of long term ownership and then was forced to sell when I had the opportunity to purchase one of the 4 1965 Drag Units produced a few months later!

This car was sold to the prestigious Segerstrom Collection where it now resides following a meticulous restoration performed by marque expert Tim Lea!

1965 Shelby GT350

SFM5S335

Sold

A once-in-a-lifetime find out of West Lafayette, Indiana!

5S335 was purchased new in Memphis, Tennessee and sold less than a year after purchase to the caretaker who would enjoy ownership of the car until his passing. Left to his wife, the car was unknown to the hobby from December of 1966 until it was ultimately purchased by me in April of 2024.

The car was recently sold to a great client and friend who has a distinct appreciation for unrestored examples and is now in the process of benefitting from the meticulous preservation-focused work of Jeremy Turner at Maple Hill Restorations in Virginia.

As 5S335 sits, it retains its original paint, interior, and mechanical finishes. The car retains its original drivetrain as well as every single one of the “important” parts which the best collectors in the world want to see on their 65… right down to the original bungee cord which had seemingly never been disturbed.

1966 Shelby GT350 6S474

Sold

Without question, one of the most desirable varieties of Shelby Mustang on the planet are the elusive 4 speed GT350Hs! Produced in a run of only 85 examples... these are some of the most difficult cars to find.

Given their background as a rental car, finding a great example of one can be a near impossible task.

I have been fortunate to own a number of these stick-shift-Rent-a-Racers. The example seen here was acquired out of North Carolina and sold to a wonderful friend and client in Florida! It retains 100% of its original drivetrain as well as all the rare 66 GT350 parts you would want to see on one of these cars! It is even a rare steel hood equipped car to boot!

1965 Shelby GT350 5S270

Sold

All original sheet metal, completely original drivetrain, and all the important original 1965-specific parts still in place.. 5S270 is a meticulously restored 65 GT350 which I purchased on behalf of a client on the East Coast.

This one all started with an email out of the blue from a new customer who said he wanted to buy a 65 Shelby..and he wanted the best of the best. Generally the wait for a great 65 GT350 can be months or years as clean, honest examples have become so difficult to find. In the case of 5S270, we had it bought 7 days later and the car was quickly whisked off to its new home!

An example which ticks every box and runs down as good as any 65 out there!

1967 Shelby GT500

Sold

In my opinion, there should be more cars “left alone” in their “day 2 specification. This 1967 Shelby GT500 was delivered new in Lime Gold but by the early 1970s had found its way into the ownership of a couple brothers in PA who had a nearly unlimited budget and aspirations to build what they thought was the ultimate street machine.

With that in mind, in went a Holman Moody built 427 Center Oiler topped by the earliest set of 48ida Webers known to exist in the world! In addition, the car received side exhaust, slapper bars!, and a deep sump oil pan!

The car would go on to be bought by noted marque authority Dominic Ciliberto who sold it to me. While in my ownership, the car remained untouched in its “day 2” configuration. It was an absolute blast to drive!

1965 GT350 5S230

Sold

So good, I've had it go through my hands twice!

This particular 65 GT350 resided in the basement of a local Kansas City enthusiast for the better part of the last 3 decades after he had a falling out with a local restoration shop.

I traded a 1,200 mile, 4 option Ford GT for this car as a disassembled project car and proceeded to sell it to a long time client and friend out of Minnesota. He commissioned a SAAC Concours level restoration by John Brown at Thoroughbred Restorations.

Upon completion, I was thrilled to place the car with a new caretaker who intends to drive the ole girl as Shel intended!

This "battery in the trunk" GT350 retains its complete original drivetrain and all the important parts that the picky 65 Shelby connoisseur desires! A fabulously well-restored example that "ticks all the boxes".

After purchasing this car, it went to MCA Head Judge Charles Turner for a sympathetic mechanical restoration with costs totaling in excess of $45,000. The result of the time and effort spent on this car is one of the finest 68 GT350s on the planet.

Finished from the factory in rare Raven Black paint with factory air conditioning!

1966 "GT350R" Inspired Restomod

Sold

We don't usually do a lot of messing around with the restomod-type stuff... but this one was something special. An incredibly built restomod-type car built with all the best performance components and none of the typical comfort related object generally associated with restomods.

A true tribute to the spirit of the Competition spec 1965/66 GT350s built on a real K Code unibody sporting absolutely "rip your face off" performance. Wish it was still here to blast around town in!

1966 Shelby GT350

Sold

6S1535 was purchased out of Canada and has a fascinating story. This particular GT350 was originally the lease car for the seller's father who was the High Performance salesman for Metro Ford. Metro Ford was an authorized Canadian Shelby dealership.

The photographs seen on this page show the seller, his two brothers, and their father standing with the car in 1966 as well as quite a few years later!

The seller found and purchased the car back for his father long after his days at Metro Ford were over with. When it came time to sell this family treasure onto a new home, I was honored to be his first call!

All original drivetrain, factory red/black color combo, factory 4 speed, chrome magnums, and incredible history. A great 66 Shelby which now sits under the wing of a P51 'Redtail' as well as a number of Spitfires! How cool is that?

6S189

Sold

6S189 is one of the 252 "carryover" 1966 Shelby Mustangs which utilized a 1965 Mustang unibody. Incredibly unique cars which are seen by collectors as a wonderful "sweet spot" between the raucous and rough 1965 GT350 and the more stylish and usable 1966 GT350!

This example was restored more than 30 years ago and yet the restoration had held up astoundingly well. The car held the SAAC judging record for points total when it was initially restored and undoubtedly would score a Gold still today if shown.

Best of all, incredible original sheetmetal and retaining its original drivetrain throughout!

One of the best carryovers out there!

1966 Ford Bronco U13

These roadsters are the rarest form of early Bronco and this rig was originally finished in hyper-desirable Acadia Blue. This example is completely untouched throughout... doubtful that there is a finer example in existence. A beach truck in CA during its early years, every time I took it for a drive just a little bit of sand would fall out from under the dash onto the transmission tunnel!

An unrepeatable U13 roadster!

1969 Shelby GT350 Convertible

9F03M480628

Sold

From 1965 to 1970, though the characteristics of the cars themselves might have changed drastically, one thing remained constant for Shelby Mustangs. The cars were damn cool in every variety and flavor in which they were produced.

Without doubt, one of the most compelling years of all Shelby Mustang production were those of 1969 and 1970. With the introduction of an all fiberglass front end, the styling of the 69/70 model year cars was right up there with the styling achievements of the 1965 and 1967 Shelby Mustangs!

When considering the purchase of a 1969/70 model year Shelby, it is important to consider the original spec in which the car was built and also consider how rare or common a particular example was/is.

For 1969 and 1970, total production for the year totaled 3,153 units. Of those cars, the production totals divided out into 1,534 GT500 fastbacks, 935 GT350 fastbacks, 335 GT500 convertibles, and just a minuscule 194 GT350 convertibles.

The car offered here is a wonderful example of the rarest form of 1969 Shelby…a GT350 convertible, and the rarity factor only grows in intrigue from there. Aside from being a small block convertible from 1969, serial number 9F03M480628 was originally ordered with a manual transmission (the VAST majority of 69-70 GT350 and GT500 convertibles were automatics) and was also ordered with the ultra desirable factory air conditioning option. Today, factory 4 speed/air GT350 Convertibles are regarded among the most desirable of all Shelby Mustangs, not only for their extreme rarity, but also for the fact that they are perhaps the most well balanced “all-around” car of the entire run of Shelby Mustangs from 1965 to 1970.

Though the big block GT500s are great cars, they did tend to suffer from overheating issues, service-ability issues, and a front-heavy nature while maneuvering. What the big blocks loose in driving comfort, usability, and practicality; they do gain back in the eye appeal of that big block sitting under the hood. Few would argue, however, with the fact that a GT350 is a far more livable, drive-able, reliable, and more balanced car from a driving perspective.

As for the specific car at hand, #628 was an early production example which was originally delivered new to one of the most storied and highly regarded Shelby dealerships in the country- Gotham Ford of New York. The car was originally spec’d, as stated before, as a GT350 convertible with factory 4 speed and air conditioning but was also optioned with tilt-a-way steering wheel and AM/FM radio. Further, the car was produced in the always popular color combination of red over black interior with a white power top.

Though delivered to an East Coast dealer, the nice thing about #628 is that it seemed to escape the fate of most all East Coast Mustangs, having never suffered from severe rust issues. In fact, by the late 1980s, the car was acquired, still wearing its original paint, by well known Shelby collector Gary McVay who commissioned one of the most well known Shelby Mustang shops in the country to perform a complete restoration. As a testament to the quality of the work done, this restoration still shows remarkably well to this day.

As #628 sits today, it retains its original factory supplied drivetrain and the entirety of its original Shelby fiberglass. This particular 1969 GT350 convertible would make for an outstanding addition to any large collection of Shelby Mustangs but would also make for a great choice for the enthusiast who wants to have one car which ticks nearly every conceivable box that a Shelby guy could want- be it rarity, style, color/options, or overall usability.

1966 Shelby GT350H

6S715

Sold

In a collector car world which seems filled with examples of cars which have lived a questionable existence, rarely do examples come along which display the level of honesty, integrity, and originality as the example being offered here.

SFM6S715 was originally produced as part of the Hertz/Shelby collaboration to bring the experience of driving a Shelby Mustang to the masses. For $17/day and $.17/mile, anyone come walk up to their local Hertz counter and experience the exhilaration of driving one of these cars…a feeling still pursued by today’s enthusiasts albeit with a slightly higher cost of entry!

Originally produced in the iconic livery of Raven Black with Hertz Gold stripes, 6S715 received a radio at Hi-Performance Motors before being dealer prepped Jack Loftus Ford. After its short time as a rental car, 715 was shipped to Courtesy Ford in Colorado where it would be purchased by its first retail owner. Thankfully, upon purchase, 715 was moved to one of the driest areas of the country, along the Colorado/Utah border, where it would spend the vast majority of its early years.

Today, the positive effects of that dry Western Colorado climate clearly show through in the attributes of 6S715. As the car survives today, it is one of straightest and most honest Shelby Mustangs which I have had in terms of sheetmetal and originality. Amazingly, the car retains its original, factory-sprayed red oxide floors with the rest of the undercarriage being relatively tidy and undisturbed. In fact, the original factory applied “DSO” marking on the rear end is still evident.

Moving to the top side, the body of this example is laser straight. Though the current paint on the car was done over 10 years ago, the car looks more similar to a car which was painted just last year.

The car is only enhanced by a well sorted, clean, and highly correct engine compartment. 6S715 retains its original, numbers matching 289 HiPo (a real rarity among cars which were routinely thrashed by the general public). Further, while this example was born as an automatic car from new, the car has had the desirable toploader conversion and, to make things even better, the toploader which was utilized was sourced from another K Code Mustang! That transmission still retains the VIN stamp of a 1965 San Jose-built K Code coupe and it ensures that this car drives and performs just as a factory K-code 4-speed car should.

Finally, the car does not disappoint when you slide down into the driver’s bucket. The interior features a perfectly aged and original Cobra tachometer, original ray brown seat belts which retain their original leather pads and webbing still affixed, and even an original dash pad. The rest of the interior is very clean, well sorted, and in very high end condition. Finally, the interior is finished off with a glovebox door attractively signed by Carroll Shelby.

Overall, what you have here is a 1966 GT350H which remains in highly original state while being brought up cosmetically to a form often not even seen on show cars. It is not often that truly honest examples of 66 Shelbys come up for public sale and 715 is certainly one of those honest cars. To top it off, I have owned many Shelby Mustangs and sold even more…very few cars drive like this one does. 715’s drivetrain is very strong, the car pulls hard, drives tight, has very sure-footed steering, and stops very well. Out of the box, the car will be ready to accompany its next owner to any show or on any road tour.

SFM6S715 has just come out of over 20 years of ownership with its last caretaker and is now ready to find a new home in a another discerning enthusiast’s garage for what will hopefully be another 20 years.

1969 Shelby GT500

9F03R483224

Inquire

As of late, one of the most prolific trends in the muscle car collecting hobby is an increased interest in the rarely produced Cobra Jet Mustang convertibles from 1969 to 1970. With awareness growing significantly, these cars have recently been featured in a vast amount of automotive collecting media and have been coming to auction with heightened fanfare and selling prices.

Given the recent surge of interest in Cobra Jet convertibles, one would assume it prudent for the shrewd collector to turn his attention to the ultimate form of a Cobra Jet convertible. That would be, of course, a Shelby GT500 convertible from 1969 to 1970.

The example offered here today has a fascinated history which is only augmented by the car’s original specification! This particular example, 9F03R483224, was originally spec’d out in the extremely unique color of “Grabber Yellow” with a black interior and black top. All told, a meager 5 GT500 convertibles would be ordered in 1969 painted in this special Grabber Yellow livery. Further, this example was highly optioned with factory air conditioning, automatic transmission, power top, power steering, power brakes, tilt steering wheel, AM-8 track stereo, tinted glass-complete, and competition suspension!

Looking over the original specification of this car, one would likely assume that the car was ordered with the concept in mind of having as “loaded” a GT500 as possible from the factory given the air, automatic, AM-8 track, tilt, and special color. Most intriguing about this particular example, however, is that this GT500 was not retailed through the traditional channel of authorized Shelby Automotive dealerships. As seen on the Marti report, this GT500 convertible was originally optioned and ordered by the Shelby Marketing Office. One can only image for what purpose the car was ordered, however, it would be reasonable to assume that the car was likely used as a company pool car, lease car, or even a show car. In any of those capacities, the car would have needed to be a highly equipped example and, thus, that is how this one was ordered!

Today this fine example has been recently updated to modern concours standards. The car is finished to a remarkably high level and is ready to be shown in the highest level of Mustang/Shelby concours events or is ready to be driven to the next owner’s content on the open road. Truth be told, it is difficult to image a more well rounded specification of Shelby to serve as a road car given the big block power, open top, and air conditioned combination which this car offers. Add to that a striking, rare, and distinctive color and you end up with a car which is worthy of serving as an enthusiast’s one and only pride and joy as well as being more than fitting for any of the world’s finest collections of muscle cars.

1970 Shelby GT500

0F02R482973

Inquire

On offer here is one of the highest quality examples of a 1970 GT500 Fastback available on the market today. The subject car, serial number 0F02R482973, was delivered to Rusty Eck Ford of Wichita, KS in the gorgeous color combination of Black Jade over white interior along with factory air conditioning and automatic transmission. The car was further optioned with a traction-lok differential, visibility group, Goodyear branded tires, sport deck rear seat, power disc brakes, power steering, tilt-away steering wheel, AM/FM stereo, tinted glass-complete, deluxe seat belts/warning light, and tachometer!

As things relate to the quality of the subject car, this GT500 has been the recipient of a recent and meticulous concours restoration which resulted in the car achieving the elusive “trifecta”…attaining a Gold level award at the every major concours event in the 2017 calendar year. These events consisted of the MCA Nationals in Overland Park, KS, the Mid America Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, OK, and the SAAC National Convention in Indianapolis, IN. This level of restoration is one which is rarely witnessed in the hobby. As a matter of fact, it is believed that this particular car is the only 1970 Shelby so far to have achieved the “trifecta”.

This 1970 GT500 is now coming out of 39 years of continuous ownership with its last owner and is ready to take up a home with its new caretaker! The prior owner has loved the car as completely as a custodian can…having taken his wife on their honeymoon in the car, driven it every day, and then treated it to the level of restoration which can only be done without sparing any expense. The prior owner has far more in the car than the asking price…which is a testament to the extreme quality of the restoration as well as his passion for preserving a piece of Shelby and muscle car history.

The car comes with its Elite Marti report, build sheet, window sticker, and factory invoice. Further, the car comes with a continuous history of titles and bill of sales dating back to its original owners. The car leaves nothing to be desired in terms of paperwork and documentation.

Rarely do quality examples of any year of Shelby Mustang come to market. If you have been “in the hunt” for one of these unique and fascinating 1970 GT500s, this example would make for the perfect addition to any discerning collector’s garage.

1967 Shelby GT350

67200F7A03014

Sold

Without doubt, the specification of Shelby for which I receive the most requests in today’s market is the 1967 GT350 with a manual transmission.

Although long under-appreciated, the 1967 GT350 has experienced a drastic surge in popularity over the last few years because of the car’s wonderful combination of specialized 1967 Shelby styling mixed with the high rev-ing and overall enjoyable driving characteristics of the 289 “K-Code” small block V8. Though the hobby remains split with some enthusiasts preferring big or small block cars, nobody can deny the lively yet balanced feel that only a HiPo powered Shelby can deliver.

The car offered here is 1967 Shelby GT350 serial #3014 and the sales pitch is pretty darn straight forward on it as it checks all the major boxes that any astute collector is going to care about.

-The car retains its original engine, transmission, and rear end.

-The car retains all of its original Shelby fiberglass.

-The car retains its important 67 Shelby specific parts including steering wheel, roll bar, harnesses, gauge pod, and more.

- The car retains its original Shelby serial number plate and all Ford VIN numbers are present where they should be on the car. These Ford VINs have been confirmed with the SAAC registrar.

-The car has been meticulously restored by its last owner of nearly 30 years to SAAC/MCA Division 2 concours standards. It was shown many times upon the completion of the restoration in 2008 with results including a Gold at the 2009 MCA Nationals and a Gold at the 33rd Annual SAAC Spring Fling in 2010.

-The car is heavily documented in the SAAC Registry, retains its Ford 999 report documenting its original build, and retains a complete, unbroken chain of ownership with copies of all the original titles issued to the car including its original MSO!

-Finally, the car was featured in April 2009 issue of Muscle Car Review.

Since its days as a show car, #3014 has been sparingly driven by its owner of almost 30 years. The car is now offered for sale in “on the button” condition. She is a complete sweetheart to drive and yet still presents in impeccable condition.

1968 Ford Mustang High Country Special

8R01C169927

Sold

Every once in a while, a car comes along that blows your socks off for no other reason than for the fact that its restoration and presentation far exceeds that of other examples. Such is the case with the 1968 Mustang High Country Special seen here.

Though commonly mistaken for an off-shoot product of the Mustang California Special (sharing its basic specifications with that car) , the Mustang High Country Special actually predated the California Special. In fact, the High Country Special was produced and marketed for the Colorado DSO as early as 1966 as well as 67. For the final model year of 1968, the High Country Special took on the an appearance package which was inspired by Shelby American’s “Little Red” prototype. This appearance package would be shared with the GT/CS of the same year after California Dealers were so impressed by the Colorado DSO’s ability to market a limited edition Mustang that they simply had to have their own!

For 1968, combined production totals of the GT/CS “California Special” and the High Country Special totaled only 4118 units with the High Country Special making up only 251 of those cars! To make this particular car even more spectacularly rare, of the 251 HCS Mustang produced, only 12 of those cars were optioned from the factory with Deluxe interior and only 2 of those examples were red interior cars!

The car seen before you today is a 1968 Mustang HCS which has been restored to a remarkable level of quality, workmanship, and concours correctness. Simply put, if you want to be assured that you are purchasing a collector car of supreme quality and integrity, it is always a good bet to purchase one from a marque expert. Such is the case of the ownership of this example as it is currently owned by the High Country Special Registrar (as well as MCA Gold Card Judge) Marty Rupp. In addition, the car has been owned also by the previous HCS registrar, Bob Teets. Upon purchase, Mr. Rupp embarked the sort of quality restoration which is never seen on HCS Mustangs simply because the end market value does not reflect the cost of the restoration itself. All told, this car could not be restored to this car’s level of quality for double the asking price of the finished car. For that reason, truly well restored examples are few and far between.

Since completion of the restoration by Martry Rupp, this High Country Special has been showed in the Concours Trailered class at 5 different Mustang Club of America events..each time achieving the top Gold certification level. Most recently, the car was showed at the MCA Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska earlier this year where it once again attained the rare-air of a Gold award!

After obtaining its fifth MCA National gold award, Mr. Rupp has now decided to sell this wonderful HCS Mustang and has chosen Vernon Estes Classics to do the job of selling it for him! It goes without saying that a better, more correct, higher quality restoration of an HCS Mustang cannot be purchased anywhere else. To top it all off, you will not find a better documented car with this one being featured in all three editions of Paul Newitt’s GT/CS Recognition Guide as well as being pictured in “Mustang Special Editions” by Brad Bowling and Jerry Heasley. Finally, this HCS comes documented with its original window sticker, original dealer sales invoice, original owners manual, Marti Report, 5 sets of MCA judging sheets from the car’s various outings and, finally, a plethora of restoration receipts and other documents.

Unlike so many concours cars sputtering on and off trailers every weekend, this car runs and drives perfectly and is ready for its next owner to jump in an enjoy a pleasurable cruise at a moments notice. Overall, this particular example of a 1968 Mustang HCS is among the most striking cars which we have seen all year and it will certainly make for an exciting edition to any Mustang collector’s stable.

1967 Ford Mustang GTA K Code

7F02K156008

Sold

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Mustang collecting hobby is the shear number of variations of Ford’s pony-car which were produced. Among those variations, there are a chosen few which have become most revered and desired by collectors.

Squarely atop the list of the most desired Mustang models produced in period sits a car which many casual enthusiasts might not understand the significance or absolute rarity of. This model is the 1967 Mustang equipped with the venerable 289 cubic inch “K Code” V8.

At the start of Mustang production in 1965-1966, Ford Motor Company produced the High Performance “K Code” 289 as their top engine option with its solid lifters, higher compression, and a host of other unique mechanical features which put the high winding drivetrain far above the performance levels of all other Mustangs. However, the 1967 model year brought along what would be the first major refresh of the Mustang body style along with the introduction of a 390 big block variant! With the addition of the 390, ordering the K Code 289 V8 made less and less sense to consumers since the cost of a K Code would often exceed that of an S Code car. In your common buyer’s mind, a big block offered more for the money than a small block optioned car...although the truth of that logic is highly debatable at best.

The car offered here is a 1967 Ford Mustang GTA “K Code” which was ordered from Tall Paul’s Ford in Kansas City, MO in the always spectacular shade of Nightmist Blue and complimented by blue deluxe interior. Among the car’s options are Convenience Control Panel, 170 MPH tires, Console, AM/8-track, Exterior and Interior Decor Groups, Tinted Glass, Deluxe Seat Belts, Shoulder harnesses, Heavy Duty battery, Competition Suspension, and Tach/Trip Odometer.

Considering the above options list, this car was ordered to be about as luxurious as a Mustang could possibly be. With that said, the list of performance options was also about as extensive as was possible at the time. Chief among those options is one which was rarely ordered. This was the “Competition Suspension” option which was only available on K Code and S Code optioned cars. This package featured what was essentially 1967 Shelby suspension with adjustable shocks, a thicker sway bar, unique 15x6 inch steel wheels shod in Galaxy hubcaps, and heavy duty springs. Overall, only 195 Mustangs would be optioned with competition suspension in 1967-making it one of the rarest options for the model year.

All those performance options would go to good use as, according to locals who hung around Tall Paul’s Ford here in Kansas City in period, this K Code Mustang was ordered new by the daughter of the dealership and was seen running at the local drag strips on a regular basis.

All told, production for K Code Mustangs in 1967 totaled only 489 examples. Of those, only 319 were fastbacks with the production totals only getting smaller and smaller when the various performance and luxury features of the car are factored into the equation. The deluxe Marti report shown for this car breaks it down into a “1 of 1” car just as it does with so many other cars. However, there is little doubt that this particular car could be considered a “1 of 1” car in 5 or 6 unique ways other than the one listed on the Marti.

This particular 1967 Mustang GTA K code underwent a 4 year Mustang Club of America Concours restoration which was completed in 2010. It was first shown at the MCA Midwest Nationals in 2011 in Des Moines in the Concours Trailered class where it easily obtained a Gold Award. More recently, the car was brought out to the 2018 MCA Mustang Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska where it was again shown in the Concours Trailered class where, again, the car easily scored a Gold with only 5 points being deducted out of a total of 700!

As the car sits today, this 1967 Mustang simply must be among the most comprehensively and meticulously restored Mustangs on the open market as well as, perhaps, one of the very rarest Mustangs to be offered in some time. This car retains its original drivetrain from front to back and is a highly documented example having been featured on the cover of Mustang Monthly August 2011 as well as Mustang Magazine issue #14. The car was the subject of feature articles in both of those publications.  

The opportunity to purchase a 1967 Mustang of this quality and rarity is simply one which very rarely comes about. This particular car, with its incredible list of options and features, is one which should serve as a fitting addition to the greatest Mustang collections in the world.

1977 Ford Bronco Ranger

U15GL086886

Sold

One of the hottest sectors of today’s classic car market is that of early Ford Broncos produced from 1966 to 1977 and the rig offered here must be one of the most honest and original examples on the open market today.

The truck you see offered here is a final year 1977 example which is finished in its original Hot Ginger Metallic paint and is about as heavily equipped as these trucks get with the ultra desirable automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering. To top it all off, this example is a top of the heap Ranger model with all the accouterments that go along with that option package.

The story of how this Bronco came to be in such rare “survivor” form is certainly an unlikely one, mainly because it was delivered to one of the most rust-stricken areas of the country. This particular Ranger was delivered new to Catherine and Jack Northrup in New York. Upon delivery to Walker Motor Sales, the truck was given a typical East Coast rust proofing as substantiated by the original decal still left in its rear drivers side quarter window as well as the evidence of treatment inside the doors, in the engine compartment, and under the truck. This rust proofing process is something which I have seen on many Mustangs and Shelbys delivered to Eastern states when new and was basically “standard fare” for new cars in that area of the country. Though it seemed this truck was destined to rot away, as was the fate of most East coast Broncos, this rig was saved when the Jack and Catherine Northrup moved to the dry Texas/Oklahoma border in order to work for the Department of Defense at Sheppard AFB in 1978 when the truck was just a year old. In fact, the DoD registration stickers dating from Nov 1979 to 1995 are still present on the front bumper!

Though it is not clear what Jack Northrup did with the DoD, what I do know is this truck lived in the dry plains of Northern Texas from early in its life till just a few years ago when it came to Missouri. On top of existing in a dry climate, the truck still was equipped with its rust proofing which served to preserve the truck in an amazing condition.

As the truck sits today, it still wears its original Hot Ginger Metallic paint with its amazingly attractive, patina’d Ranger rocker stripes! Though there is no shortage of rock chips and imperfections in the paint (as is the case with most all true original paint trucks) the truck displays a level of honestly and originality that is rarely seen on the open market today. Perhaps one of the neatest features of the exterior of the truck is the spare (still wearing its original cover) which survives with its original paint steel wheel wrapped in the truck’s original NOS spare tire which still has the factory paint markings and “nubs” present on it. The old cliche “spare has never been on the ground” could surely apply here.

The interior of the truck is original from headliner to carpet, displaying a mint original dash pad and nice upholstery. Though very nice for an original interior, the carpet does display excessive wear in the driver and passenger side foot-wells. Though the truck would look great with a new carpet set, I personally prefer it wore out and original. The truck also has a small wear spot on the driver’s seat, though the imperfection is not nearly bad enough to warrant replacing the original upholstery. Overall, however, the interior on this truck is completely original and extremely well preserved.

In the engine compartment the trend of extensive originality continues with an assortment of factory paint markings, stamps, and production codes hand written on the radiator support! Look closer and you will see no shortage of original tags hanging off near every component in the engine compartment. You could spend a whole day just admiring all the little factory details which are left on this truck.

All in all, many Bronco aficionados idolize the final year 1977 truck as the most desirable of all the years because of its one-year-only integrated fuel doors and the level of engineering which finally went into these trucks for 76-77 to make them drive like a halfway civilized automobile! Top of the heap of those late year “early Broncos” are the Ranger and Explorer models with as many power features as possible and automatic transmissions. This particular example ticks every box when it comes to specification but also as things pertain to condition- boasting a wonderfully preserved, original state which cannot easily be found elsewhere.

As the Bronco market continues to shoot up with seemingly no end in site, it is my honest opinion that buyers should be picky in the trucks they are buying. Every day I see some pretty edgy stuff out there bringing $25,000-$45,000 and it is my opinion that buyers need to make sure they are getting a great example and not merely buying into the hype that does, and will continue to, surround the trucks. This particular example is ready for its next home and would make for a wonderful addition to any collector’s garage who is looking for a remarkably preserved truck but also one which he or she can be confident to jump in at a moment’s notice to drive and enjoy!

1966 Shelby GT350

6S1536

Sold

Without a doubt, the primary focus of modern day collecting is on originality. As automobile collecting as a whole develops similarities to art collecting, emphasis has quickly shifted to cars which have been carefully preserved and which present honestly to the hobby.

The car offered here, 6S1536, is a prime example of a well preserved and wonderfully honest 1966 GT350.

6S1536 was delivered new at Ray Hunt Ford in Daytona Beach, Florida to its original owner in a spectacular spec of factory red paint, no stripes, and painted magnum wheels. Plainly stated, one of the cleanest and meanest specs imaginable on one of these cars.

Its first owner, a Navy man, kept meticulous care of the car and retained ownership until 2005. The current condition of the car is a testament to the care given by the 3 individuals who have been lucky to own the car since new. 

Today 6S1536 remains in its original paint as well as original interior, underside, trunk, and complete original drivetrain. The car retains all of its appropriate VIN stampings and the Ford VIN and SFM number have been verified with SAAC Registrar Howard Pardee.

Some highlights of the car include: 

-Factory red/4 speed/no stripe/painted magnum wheel car

-All original drivetrain

-Original paint with no major touch up detectable

-All original interior with exception of a Hurst shifter which was tastefully installed by the original owner in 1969

-Original chrome and trim in excellent condition

-Original under dash area which has never been touched down to all the original wiring, fire wall pad, and heater components

-Amazing original underside which still clearly displays its factory red oxide paint with overspray as well as factory paint markings, DSO markings, and stripes on the original driveshaft and leaf springs. One of the nicest undersides I have laid eyes on.

-Original trunk featuring original Goodyear Blue Streak spare, original jack, lug nut wrench, and original trunk mat

-99k miles from new with the car showing more akin to a 30k mile car. Forget everything you think you know about a 99k mile Florida car; it simply does not apply here.

All in all, 6S1536 represents an opportunity to acquire a legitimate unrestored 1966 GT350. Honest unrestored cars are rarely, if ever, offered publicly-let alone in a desirable color combined with a 4 speed transmission. 

6S1536 is located in Kansas City and is ready for its next owner. If you would like to be that guy please do not hesitate to reach out at this link for additional information or inquiries.  Additional photographs including underside photos are available upon inquiry by serious interested parties.

1967 Shelby GT500

67400F5A03167

Sold

In a world filled with a seemingly endless supply of restored cars, the cars which have become the stand outs of the hobby are those which have been preserved over their 50+ years of existence. The car seen before you today, 1967 Shelby GT500 #3167, is certainly one of those cars and has survived up until the present day in remarkably original condition. 

3167 was completed by Shelby American, Inc. at the very end of their production run at 6501 W. Imperial Highway in Los Angles. In fact, 3167 was completed only 10 days prior to the day that the very last 67 Shelby would be completed at the iconic facility. From there on, operations would transfer to Michigan and, some say, the "Shelby magic" was either lost of greatly diminished.

3167 was delivered new through Pletcher Ford, Inc in Jenkintown, PA and still retains their metal dealer emblem mounted right above its driver's side exhaust tip!  Though the original owner is not known, 3167 was purchased by second owner Mark Bauder of Hellertown, PA around 1974 as a weekend car but was stored away soon after, likely in 1977 as noted on the PA inspection sticker still present on the car's windshield.

For the next 40 years, 3167 remained in storage and out of view of the collector car hobby before being discovered in 2017 by SAAC Concours Judge and 67 GT500 expert Dominic Ciliberto. Upon finding the car, Dominic wasted no time in recommissioning 3167 for the road and displayed it at the 50th Anniversary GT500 event at Carlisle. 

As it stands today, 3167 survives in its original paint and retains its original drivetrain. Further, the car retains most all the rare and unique parts which are specific to 1967 GT500s. The engine compartment of 3167 has remaining remarkably original and un-modified since the day the car was built.  The interior on 3167 is really something to behold, still retaining all of its original components from its carpeting all the way up to the mint condition headliner. 

Also, it goes without saying that 3167 retains all the massively important elements that any good 1967 Shelby should have. All the Ford serial numbers are present and undisturbed and the original Shelby American serial number tag is in place with its original rivets still attaching it to the car. 

Overall, the real appeal of a true survivor car is that they display an honest and time earned patina which can never be replicated. In today's collector car world, these cars go for enough money that a car in just about any state of disrepair or abuse can be restored to concours perfection. What is truly difficult to find is an example which has been cared for and maintained over the course of its life and never restored. These sorts of cars, while sometimes cosmetically on the rougher side of things, give an owner comfort in that they know exactly what they have. They know for certain that their Shelby Mustang has never been cut in half, wrapped around a tree, or made from nothing but a serial number in an attempt by an ill-intentioned party to deceive. Survivors have an authenticity and genuine nature to them which can't be found in most any restored car..history oozes from these cars in the form of the patina they exude which can only be earned over the course of 50 years.  For these reasons and many more, the cars which truly get the attention in today's hobby and at car shows of any level are the unrestored survivor type cars.

1965 Shelby GT350

5S302

Sold

Above all others, there is no year of Shelby Mustang as revered as the inaugural production year of 1965. Known for their raw, unfiltered driving experience, 65 GT350s have become one of the few “holy grails” of all American automobiles in the eyes of sports car enthusiasts. 

Without a doubt, though, there is no year quite like 1965 when it comes to the degree to which these “race cars for the street” were beaten on, ridden hard, and put away wet. Due to their uncompromised specifications, these cars were the clear choice for racers of all skill levels which makes the task of finding an honest, highly original example quite difficult in today’s marketplace. 

The example seen here today, 5S302, was finished by Shelby American on May 26, 1965 and was delivered to Herb Tousley Ford in White Bear, MN on July 14, 1965 in a group of cars which included 5S299, 5S300, and 5S301. Following its arrival, on October 21, 1965, 5S302 was purchased new by Benny Demeter. Demeter, allegedly fed up after consistently losing drag races in his supercharged Studebaker Avanti, immediately set about upgrading the already stout Shelby Mustang by fully balancing and blueprinting the engine. Although living in North Dakota at the time of purchase, Demeter soon moved to Arizona with the GT350 which undoubtedly saved the car from the rusty future shared by most all cars delivered in Northern startes.

Around Father’s Day of 1968, 5S302 was traded by Demeter to Jerry Stewart of Paradise Ford in Scottsdale, Az. Being an authorized Shelby American dealership, Paradise Ford was widely regarded as the epicenter for Ford performance offerings in the Southwest and always a large inventory of new and used Shelby American offerings.

Shortly after arriving at Paradise Ford, a young man by the name of Gary Triscornia visited the dealership in search of a 65 GT350. Gary Triscornia lived a life to be admired by all “car guys”. At the time of visiting Paradise Ford, Gary’s daily driver was a 66 GT350 which he purchased new and his “fun car” was a Type 37 Bugatti Grand Prix car! Although Gary loved the 66 Shelby, he desired to have the rawer, unfiltered experience of a 65 GT350 for his daily driver. Gary purchased 5S302 on the spot and so began a love affair between him and the car for just shy of 50 years. During that time, Gary’s collection of cars saw many changes. Cars which came and went included a Type 57 Bugatti, a Ferrari Lusso, a Ferrari 275 GTB, an Iso Rivolta, and an Allard J2. The car which outlasted them all and remained closest to his heart was 5S302. 

Knowing just how rare it is to find, not only a car which has been under such long term ownership, but also one with immaculate, rust free original sheetmetal and an unbroken chain of ownership from new- I jumped at the opportunity to purchase 5S302 in December of 2017. 

Today, 5S302 presents itself as a wonderful opportunity to own what is surely the most honest 65 GT350 on the open market. 5S302 is an original trunk mounted battery car which has lived nearly its entire life in Arizona and California and has never seen rust or adverse driving climates despite being delivered new at a Northern dealership. Additionally, 5S302 was the recipient of a high quality restoration from a shop which has garnered many awards at the world's most prestigious concours events. 5S302 displays a high level of finishes and has recently been completely sorted for the open road to be used as Carroll originally intended. Finally, 5S302 has something which only one other 1965 GT350 can lay claim to. The car retains its original Shelby American issued, hand signed, and hand stamped MSO which was acquired by Coleen Triscornia from the original owner as a birthday gift for Gary. According to SAAC Registrar Howard Pardee, only one other 65 is known to retain its original Shelby American MSO. 

The 1965 GT350 market today is one where very few honest cars are publicly available at any given time. In general, most examples are purchased privately, long before they are advertised. 5S302 survives today with its original Shelby American serial number tag, all its important Ford VIN numbers on the car's original aprons, and in absolutely wonderful, rust free condition. The opportunity to acquire a car such as 5S302 is one which should not be passed up and one which certainly will not last.

1965 Ford Mustang K Code

5F07K281824

Sold

This car was easily one of the most original and honest Mustangs I have ever owned. The car was an early 1965 K Code Mustang which displayed many of the features commonly observed in "1964.5" Mustangs!

This car was purchased out of Trenton, New Jersey where the car was purchased new and lived all of its life. The car was remarkably original with fantastic sheetmetal along with all the parts which are commonly missing from K Code Mustangs after generally being robbed for parts by Shelby Mustang guys!

Tough to find such a great Kar!

This car was sold on BringATrailer.com and now resides in Arizona with an owner who sees to it that the Kar gets regularly exercised!

If you happen to be in the market for a great K Code Mustang like this car, please do not hesitate to reach out at this link for more information. I would love to locate a car for you, no matter what condition you seek!

One of four produced by Shelby American Inc.

Sold

I liberated this car from its Fontana, California garage where it was stored for almost 35 years.

6S018 is one of 4 factory produced "Drag Units".

Although not original paint, the car retained 100% of its original sheetmetal and substantially all of its original interior.  The car was full of features which make these seldom understood drag cars unique in the Shelby world.

1967 Shelby GT350

67200F5A03069

Sold

All told, there are a number of attributes which near any collector wants a car to have in today's collecting atmosphere. Those include a great story, long term ownership, originality, and a desirable original specification. The 67 GT350 seen here has all those attributes and more. 

In 1967, Linda Johnmeyer of Gravois, Missouri made a day trip to Alltol Auto Co. in Columbia, Missouri with the hopes of returning home with a brand new Mustang. Upon arrival. her eye was immediately drawn the the Dark Moss Green 1967 Shelby GT350 which was gleaming on the showroom floor- and so began a love affair which would last a very long time.

Upon buying 3069, the car was used as Linda's daily driver around the Lake of the Ozarks area, even with two kids strapped in the back seat! Her and her Shelby became fixtures of her town and were well known in the area.  Most interesting of all, Linda even drove #3069 to Mexico and back during the summer of 1969 and two Mexican tourist decals still remain preserved in the windshield and rear glass from that trip! Good thing too, because if an Ameirican tagged car did not have current tourist decals affixed to it while in Mexico, the car would have been siezed and cut in half by the Mexican authorities!

Upon the arrival of a third child in the late 1970s, LInda thought a station wagon would be a more appropriate choice of transportation so she traded the Shelby into Burkle Motors of Columbia, MO. In fact, Burkle's dealer decal still adorns the decklid of #3069 to this day. 

Soon after trading in the Shelby, Linda came to regret the decision. Luckily, the eventual buyer of the car at Burkle Motors, Dick Rohlfing of Boonville, MO, lived right down the street from Linda and she was able to negotiate the re-purchase of her Shelby from Dick some 5 to 6 years after she had sold it. Turns out, Dick's wife was not a fan of the car and so Linda was able to re-claim her prized Shelby Mustang.

From there, Linda retained ownership of her Shelby up until 2014 when the car was purchased (after three years of begging) by Rick Penno of Gravois, MO after Rick was tipped off to this (sort of) original owner Shelby existing in his area. 

I was honored to become the next custodian of this jewel of a survivor car earlier this year. 

#3069, as it sits today, is a well preserved and highly original 1967 Shelby GT350. The car retains its original paint and sheetmetal, original fiberglass components, original upholstery, well preserved underside, original drivetrain, and shows just over 65,000 original miles. 

The car was driven daily during its early life on mostly gravel roads so the car is far from cosmetically perfect, as seen in the photographs. With that said, those gravel roads and the area's lack of salt use saved this Shelby from suffering the same rust laden fate that most Midwest cars suffer. The car is the most bone-dry Missouri Mustang that this Kansas City boy has ever seen and it displays time earned patina and wear from an honest life of being used, loved, and enjoyed by its original owner. Simply put, this car is as honest as they come and it has the sort of character that cannot be restored back into a car- it only comes from 50 years of considerate use and preservation.

#3069 was desirably spec'd when new in Dark Moss Green with deluxe 10 spoke wheels and a 4 speed transmission. 

f you have been in the market for a great small block 67 Shelby, you are probably becoming well aware of how hard it is to find an honest example. 67 small blocks are, in my humble opinion, a true sweet spot amongst all the years and production specs of Shelby Mustang. The 67 GT350 has many of the sporty driving characteristics of the 65/66 GT350s while also mixing in some of the creature comforts which would become more prevalent in later years of production. They also feature the reliability, drive-ability, and ease of maintenance that the big block Shelbys can sometimes lack. All in all, it is my humble opinion that 1967 GT350 4-speed cars are wildly undervalued in today's market and are certainly among the best varieties of all Shelby Mustangs. 

If you are interested in becoming the next caretaker of this incredible Shelby Mustang, please do not hesitate to contact me at the link posted below. #3069 is located in Kansas City, MO and is available for inspection by appointment.

1967 Shelby GT500

67411F0A02745

Sold

On offer here is surely what has to be considered the highest quality 1967 GT500 on the market today. The car on offer here, serial number 2745, was originally ordered in the top notch color combination of Acapulco Blue over black interior and, even better, was originally spec'd with the ultra rare option of factory air conditioning. Only a small number of big block Shelbys were to receive factory air in 1967, and this car is one of them. 

This particular car is absolutely fresh out of a restoration performed by one of the nation's most revered shops which saw the car finished to Shelby American Automobile Club Concours standards. Now owned by one of the nation's top authorities on 1967 Shelbys, the car has been sorted from top to bottom with no detail left unaddressed to yield a car which is ready to win a concours gold award with ease at the next SAAC Convention if the next owner so chooses. 

The paint, interior, and general workmanship of this car are all utterly and unapologetically spectacular. If you are looking for excuses, shortcuts, or cobbled together messes of any degree- this simply is not the car for you. 

With all that said, this car is not simply a pretty face. While the car has been restored to current concours standards, it has also been fully sorted for driving and would make for an unimaginably great driver car, should the next owner choose to put the car on the road. With that in mind, included in the sale is a full set of Shelby ten spoke wheels clad in brand new radial tires with custom Goodyear small letter tire lettering kits so that the next caretaker can enjoy the car on a modern radial tire while still having a correct appearing car!

Overall, what you have here is a car which has been restored by some of the nation's top 1967 Shelby specialists. On top of that, the car is finished in one of the most desirable factory colors offered. #2745 is now ready to be either shown at very top echelon concours venues or enjoyed as intended on the open road. 

#2745 is located in Kansas City and is ready for its next owner. If you would like to be that guy please do not hesitate to reach out at this link with inquiries.  Additional photographs including underside photos are available upon request.

1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351

1F02R135277

Sold

While commonly under-rated in yesterday's Mustang collecting hobby. the 1971 Mustang Boss 351 is now becoming one of the fastest appreciating Mustangs on the market today because of its immense performance capabilities and rarity.

The example offered here was sourced out of Texas and was a bone dry car from the very start. As is common with this body style of Mustang, only the rear taillight panel warranted replacement during the restoration.  The car was originally optioned in the desirable shade of Light Pewter Metallic with Mach 1 Sports Interior, AM/Eight Track, Tinted Glass, Power Steering, Console, Chrome Magnum 500 wheels, Firestone Wide Oval Tires, and a Traction Lok differential!

The example for sale here was restored in the mid to late 1990s to the highest levels of Mustang Club of America standards. This class is known as the Thoroughbred class and represents only a very small percentage of the top cars in the world as it pertains to quality and correctness of the restoration. An MCA Thoroughbred restoration does not allow for any reproduction parts- even such such parts as battery, tires, hoses, and belts have to be original assembly-line parts from the year in which the vehicle was manufactured. The restoration was supervised by Bob Perkins  and was executed to the highest levels possible.

Once completed, the car was shown at various MCA regional and national shows as well as AACA shows before being retired. Since then, the car has aged extremely well. The paint shows brilliantly and all the major cosmetic aspects of the car remain in excellent condition. 

Best off all, however, is the fact that the current owner of this vehicle decided to begin driving the vehicle in the last few years. By in large, one important thing to note is that most cars restored to high levels for the various forms of concours judging do not drive well, or drive at all, once restored. The vast majority of cars restored to any form of concours judging are mostly meant for static display. The Boss 351 presented here has been fully commissioned for road use and has been driven a couple thousand miles by the current owner. In fact, the owner has routinely used the car for long stretches of highway drives whenever weather has permitted including a trip from Kansas City to Lawrence, Kansas in the last two weeks! In fact, though it still wears bias ply tires, the car goes down the road better than any car I have ever driven with these "old world" tires! The brakes work extremely well (for a 71 Boss, that is), the car's steering is tight, and the power is absolutely immense!

Overall, what you have here is a car which has been restored to the very highest levels of MCA Concours judging, been verified by some of the top authorities in the Mustang world, and then comprehensively recommissioned to be driven and enjoyed!  The most current trends in the market revolve around finding cars which are great driving cars. Less and less people now are looking for perfectly restored trailer queens which cannot be exercised properly. The car offered here, however, gives the "best of both worlds" in that it has been meticulously restored and is now ready to be driven and shown to the next owner's content!

This Boss is located in Kansas City and is ready for its next owner. If you would like to be that guy please do not hesitate to reach out at this link with inquiries.  Additional photographs and detailed description are available upon request.

1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

CSX4227

Sold

CSX4227 was delivered by Shelby American in 2002 as one of very few aluminum bodied CSX4000 cars produced. For reference, Shelby American produces roughly 1 alloy bodied car for every 5-6 fiberglass bodied cars.

It was delivered to one of the most reputable Shelby dealers in the country, Mitch Hughes at S/C Motorsports in Mustang, Oklahoma, who proceeded to build the car to the same high standard which he builds all his cars to. An original, date coded 427 side oiler block was sourced along with aluminum heads from Edelbrock. The motor was dressed correctly to closely mimic the engine compartment of an original CSX3000 car and the motor was topped with a period correct Holley 715.  Power is transferred through a 4 speed toploader with a heavy duty clutch to handle the immense torque and horsepower of this very healthy 427.

Adding to the car's intrigue, 4227 was left in bare aluminum with a brushed finish from the factory as the first owner preferred the look of raw alloy to that of a perfectly painted car. With the metal on display, it is easy to enjoy the character and workmanship which goes into the making of each one of these aluminum bodies and you will never have to answer the question of whether the car is alloy or fiberglass.

CSX4227 does have the coveted California SB100 registration.

Overall, the car was built to a high standard from a workmanship perspective and special effort was taken to give the car that “correct” look that everyone wants on their CSX4000 car including a blue painted block with black painted transmission. It is built like a proper 427 S/C should be built.  If you are looking for a wild 900hp motor and a 6 speed, you will not find it here. What you will find is an authentically spec'd and built car which is ready to give you all the thrills of the real deal.

CSX4227 has just come from the original owner and only displays 1,967 miles at the date of publish. The car has never been wrecked. and has no bad history.  Having just come out of 7 years of storage, the car has been shaken down over its last 150 miles and has performed flawlessly.  It has just been fitted with brand new tires. The car has gobs of torque, horsepower, and bad attitude. 

As things stand today, Shelby American is charging $160,000 for new aluminum CSX4000 rollers. Clearly, that doesn’t taken into account around $30,000 in drivetrain and miscellaneous parts, the labor which will be incurred to build the car, and the extensive wait period to get one of these cars from the factory. At the end of the day, today’s buyer for a new car will easily have $200,000+ in a finished aluminum bodied car, if they can even get their hands on an alloy roller in the first place.

CSX4227 is a well built and low mileage example which is ready to go tomorrow. The chance to purchase a finished aluminum bodied car is generally not one which comes up often. Those who own alloy bodied cars rarely put them on the market, while you have your choice of 10s of fiberglass bodied examples at any given time. In addition, it is tough to imagine owning a better CSX number than CSX4227.

4227 is ready for its next caretaker.  If you would like to be that guy, please do not hesitate to reach out at this link for additional information or inquiries. 

1965 289 Cobra

Chassis Number CSX2506

Sold

1965 Shelby American 289 Cobra chassis CSX2506 was invoiced to Carroll Shelby and Lew Spencer’s Hi-Performance Motors on October 30, 1964. The car was picked up at the Shelby American facilities on behalf of Hi-Performance Motors and was sold to the first owner wearing black paint and street trim a short time later. Wasting no time, the first owner painted the car red (because red cars are faster, of course) and took it racing in the Southern California until an accident sidelined the car in 1969.

Following the car’s accident, CSX2506 was taken to the shop of Lance Reventlow where it was re-bodied in fiberglass and further raced.  The car then went through the hands of a few notable Shelby collectors before landing at the shop of Bill Murray (Longmont, CO) who executed a stunning restoration on the car to competition specs. In typical Murray fashion, only the best components were utilized in the restoration including, but not limited to, Italian Webers atop an original Cobra intake, original magnesium FIA spec wheels, and GT40 heads. The car was purchased mid-restoration by a well known Shelby enthusiast with the initial intention of taking the car racing.  However, it was determined that the car was too nice to race.  The car was finished in its original black-over-black color scheme and was put to use as a street car in competition trim. 

CSX2506 is now offered for sale out of long term ownership and is ready for its next caretaker.

1966 Ford Bronco U15

U15NL877200

Sold

The 1966 Bronco you see here today is presently in on consignment from one of the foremost early Bronco experts in the hobby. This truck is owned by Tim Hulick who is a lifelong collector, restorer, and enthusiast of early Ford Broncos and is known as one of the world's top authorities of U13 Roadster Broncos. In his spare time, Tim even runs RoadsterU13.com which serves as the registry for all U13 Roadsters and their owners!

After assisting me in purchasing one of those rare U13 Roadsters for myself (mine being a Rangoon Red 66), Tim asked if I might be able to help him in selling a very special Bronco. I initially had reservations about the idea, considering that I am not in the business of buying and selling Broncos. However, after seeing the truck in question, I knew it had to be featured on the site!

The truck offered here is the result of a meticulous restoration headed by Tim which was executed in the hopes of restoring one of these early trucks to as close to factory specifications as possible. Particularly, this truck is a first year, 1966 example which was produced in the later portion of the 1966 model year. Being later in the model year, this truck was able to receive the ultra desirable 289 V8 from the factory as opposed to the 6 cylinder which came in the vast majority of 1966 Broncos. 

Although Broncos have been the subject of heightened interest in the collector car world of late, there is still much that is not understood outside of the various die-hard Bronco circles. For example, 1966 Broncos are particularly difficult to restore to a high level because they featured an unusually high number of parts which are unique only to that model year. With the 67 Bronco came a number of changes which would be prevalent until 1977.  In result, finding a Bronco which features all of its correct, original 1966 parts still intact is a rare find indeed. 

In addition, it is also extremely unusual (perhaps nearly unheard-of) to see a stock specification Bronco which is restored to the meticulous level of this truck. We have all seen high end builds performed by a number of hot rod shops and customizers, but to see a stocker restored to such an "over the top" level is truly special. A testament to the meticulous nature of this restoration is the fact that Tim Hulick actually restored this truck twice in a row (including two separate paint jobs) because the end product was simply not "up to snuff" when it was completed the first time.

If you are interested in this Bronco, I have a much more detailed description of this rig which can be provided upon inquiry. For now, I will let the photographs of this truck do the majority of the talking and I welcome any questions you might have.

This Bronco is located in Kansas City and is ready for its next owner. If you would like to be that guy please do not hesitate to reach out at this link with inquiries.  Additional photographs and detailed description are available upon request.

1966 Shelby GT-350H

6S825

Sold

This car is 6S825 and it is a factory Sapphire Blue Hertz GT350H, one of roughly 50-55 which were produced in 1966 by Shelby American!  All in all, the story of 6S825 is one of great care and preservation. The car was originally delivered to S&C Motors in San Francisco and was rented out of the San Francisco Airport.  After being rented, it was sold to a local and stayed in San Francisco until roughly 2009 when the second owner took the car to Washington State. The car was a California car almost its entire life and the benefits of such a life are apparent!  

The most amazing attribute of 6S825 is that it retains 100% of its original sheet metal which it left Shelby American with! It has never had any rust and has been lovingly maintained its entire life as opposed to being restored. I am the third owner of the car. 

The history of 6S825 is equally as unique as its originality. Unlike today, where GT350Hs are revered by enthusiasts for their history as “Rent a Racers”, GT350Hs used to be seen as “old used rental cars”. Owners of showroom delivered 66 GT350s would look down upon those who bought the used rental Mustangs!  For that reason, 6S825s first owner went about accessorizing the car, like so many did, to ensure that the cars ex-rental life was not apparent.  In order to accomplish that, he went about adding the white stripes and as many original “over the counter” accessories as he could! They include: original Cobra dual Carter carbs on the small letter Cobra intake, real Shelby wood wheel, original ten spoke wheels, rare AM/FM radio, January 1966 dated bench seat, “day-nite” mirror, an Autolite cigarette lighter/map light, and matching original blue Mustang rubber floor mats in front with complimenting blue knock off MG Mitten mats in the back since Ford didn’t sell rear Mustang floor mats.  All of these accessories were available at the time through the Shelby American Accessories catalog in 1966-67. The fact that they are all still present on this car makes it an incredible “day 2” car. Many cars used to be accessorized like this, however, few still exist with similar accessories which makes the car quite unique!

It is worth noting that, if someone wants to go back to "stock" with the car, the over the counter accessories which are on the car are far more expensive than the stock parts which would be needed. 

Adding to the uniqueness of 6S825, being a San Francisco Hertz car, is the fact that it features a very rare parking brake warning light underneath the dash! This was a feature which was exclusive to San Francisco Hertz cars, being that they had to park on so many hills, and only roughly 8 cars have been documented as having this parking brake light from the factory!  Also rare is the fact that this is a MICO master cylinder car, one of around 200 cars to have that particular master cylinder from new after rental customers complained about the poor low speed braking performance of the Hertz cars.

6S825 has never been restored or disassembled. The benefit of never being taken apart is that the car drives like like a new Shelby would have in 1966! The suspension feels spot on and everything is tight. No squeaks and rattles to speak of. The car accelerates well, shifts through the gears smoothly, and the brakes work very well.  The car also runs nice and cool thanks to a brand new 3 core reproduction radiator. It is worth noting, I also have the original WMO 10-65 dated radiator which came out of this car. It has been re-cored and is ready to be reinstalled if the next owner chooses to do so!  I have kept the reproduction in the car simply because it is a bigger radiator and cools much better than even a re-cored original. Also included in the car’s spares is an extra, original MICO master cylinder in case the one on the car ever goes bad! This is a rare part to find!

Interior is original from carpet to headliner. Without a doubt, the nicest original interior car which I have ever had the pleasure of owning.  Every part of the interior is extremely presentable but has just that right amount of patina which makes you feel good about the car and reminds you of just how original it is. You can tell the car has always been used as it should be, however, has always also been well looked after. 

As far as underside, the car still retains its original 9-65 dated Konis on all four corners which is extremely rare. In the 70s-80s, when shocks went bad, it was cheaper to merely buy a new set as opposed to having old shocks rebuilt. Because of that, it is unusual to see such nice, original shocks on a car!  Being a CA car, 6S825 also retains its original red oxide floors with factory overspray which have never been restored or messed with! I would be happy to provide pictures of the beautiful unrestored underside of 6S825 to anyone who would like to see them.

Finally, the paint on the car presents itself extremely well. The respray on the car was done, I believe, in the early 80s but shows like a paint job with much less age on it than that! In fact, I just sent the car to the very best paint correction professional in Kansas City, Scott Meyers of Scott Meyers Auto Detailing. He did a wonderful job and, upon inspection, you would very guess the paint was as old as that.

6S825 is not for the guy that needs an absolutely cosmetically perfect car, but it is for the guy who wants a car which has never been screwed with, wrecked, abused, cut up, restored, or even taken a part. 6S825 presents itself extremely well and it has great integrity. The car displays the best bones you can get in one of these old Shelbys and it has served me well over the entire period of my ownership! It is a totally documented car which was in storage for 35 years with its second owner, completely unknown to the club. Hence the reason why the registry entry is pretty much blank. The Shelby VIN tag has never been off it and still has its original black rivets attaching it.  All VINS were confirmed with SAAC registrar Howard Pardee by looking under the apron instead of removing the tag. All Ford VINs are present in the locations where they should be.

Again, my thanks for taking a look at 6S825 and please let me know if I can answer any additional questions or provide any additional pictures. For the price, you will be hard pressed to find another car which retains 100% of its original sheet metal and its original drivetrain. The opportunity to purchase a solid and extremely original car like 6S825 is not one which comes around often!

1952 Nash Rambler

Greenbrier Wagon

Sold

On eBay Here!

On offer here is truly one of the most unique and interesting cars which I have had the pleasure of owning.

The Nash Rambler was introduced in 1950 to much acclaim as an aerodynamic and upmarket 2 door convertible which offered brisk performance as well as respectable fuel economy out of its inline 6 motor!  Over the years, Nash went on to add different variations to the Rambler line but, without a doubt, the most wonderful of those additions was the introduction of a wagon body style in the form of the 1951 Deliveryman Wagon!

Mainly intended for utilitarian usage by tradesmen, these “bathtub” wagons offered fold down second row seating which made for a versatile and usable automobile. However, one year later, Nash went one step further and introduced the Nash Rambler Greenbrier wagon which featured two tone green exterior paint, upgraded trim in the interior, and a substantially increased price tag for this most luxurious version of the Rambler Wagon!

The car you see here today is one of these wonderful little Greenbrier Wagons!  This particular example was the property of a local enthusiast who owned a 1952 Nash Deliveryman Wagon while he attended a local high school. As life goes, he was forced to eventually sell his high school car but he never forgot all the great times that unique little Rambler gave him. Around 10 years ago, he found this 1952 Greenbrier Wagon and decided to embark on a nut and bolt restoration, fueled by his love of his first Nash, to a level not commonly seen on Nash cars.

The end result of that painstaking restoration is this car! Upon purchasing the car, the owner told me that in excess of $45,000 was spent on the restoration. I only found that unbelievable in regards to the fact that I am certain such a high quality restoration couldn’t be done today by a reputable shop for even close to that amount of money. The car features wonderful paint which is barely showing any signs of age along with a totally clean and correct interior which shows “as new”. The engine compartment is fully detailed and features all the correct finishing which you do not commonly see on a car like this. Though clique to say, the underside on this Nash is truly as nice as the top. Overall, this car is a 10 year old restoration which does not really look its age. That is largely due to the fact that the last owner would only drive the car around the block once every two months in order to keep it in outstanding mechanical condition.  Overall, this car would be rated as a strong #2 car on a scale from 1-6. With some love and attention, it could easily be a good solid #1 car.

Let’s cut to the chase though, there are three reasons why any lover of Nash, 50s era American cars, or just cars in general, should purchase this car.

#1) It is incredibly unique and, to put it plainly, you just don’t see cars like a Nash restored to this level simply because it costs much more to do one to this level than the car is worth when done. The only smart way to buy them is to get one which someone else has already poured all the money into!

#2) It is an extremely rare car. As you might imagine, the Greenbrier specifically was not a high selling variant of the Rambler Wagon because it was the high end luxury version of a wagon which was intended for utilitarian purposes. Upon consulting a well versed Nash club member and enthusiast, it is claimed that less than 20 examples (he claims 14) exist to this day in all states of restoration or disrepair. Though around 53,000 Ramblers were built in 1952, wagons were only a small % of that total and many were not deemed as worth keeping in past years.  In addition, these cars easily rusted away as they had notoriously bad water drainage properties. Most surviving examples of 1951-52 Rambler Wagons are either hot rodded or in project condition. I know of only one other example of a Greenbrier which frequents West Coast concours shows which compares to this example based on condition.

Examples of 1952 Rambler Wagons are, in fact, so rare that sales records of cars are extremely hard to come by. The only comparable example I could find comes from the 2014 Barrett Jackson Palm Beach auction where an equally well restored example sold for $35,200. However, that example was not the rarer and more desirable Greenbrier, but a lower specification.

#3) Simply put, it is just the cutest stinkin’ car on the face of the planet. I specialize in buying and selling Shelby Mustangs, Cobras, and other high performance Ford product and none of those cars get the attention and general response that this one does when I am cruising around the city! It is for that reason that I have kept the car for a few months without even trying to sell it- it really is just too much fun and everyone who sees it just can’t help but smile.  Simply put, I couldn’t resist owning this car purely because of how incredibly unique and downright cute it is!

In summary, what you have here is a rare, unique, and utterly adorable car which, unless you have no soul, is impossible not to like!

1966 Shelby G.T.350H

6S1497

Sold

Over the course of the muscle car era, few stories have intrigued collectors like that of the 1966 Shelby GT350H Mustangs.  Rented to members of the Hertz Sports Car Club, these cars could be had for $17 a day and 17 cents a mile so long as the club member passed a simple driving test.  That driving test consisted of a casual cruise around the block of the Hertz location. 

6S1497 is one of those iconic “Rent-a-Racers”. 6S1497 was sent to Carroll Shelby’s personal dealership, Hi-Performance Motors, March 23, 1966 for installation of an AM radio.  It was then shipped to Larsen Ford Inc. in White Plains, NY for dealer prep prior to delivery to Hertz in NY, NY on April 20, 1966.  Hertz was invoiced $3547 plus $105.55 for Chrome Magnum wheels, $45.45 for installation of the radio, $20 in pre-delivery charges, and $102.75 for freight making a total of $3820.75. 

After the car’s time in the rental fleet, it was sent to Berry Motors in Paramus, NJ on August 31, 1967 for resale. Berry Motors installed a mirror, replaced the left door lock and glove box, and gave the car a tune up before selling the car to the original owner.

From there, the car passed through a number of notable Shelby collectors before it landed in the hands of Daryl Peck who commissioned Cobra Automotive to build a bespoke drivetrain for this car. Cobra Automotive built a 289 with all the best components and mated the motor to a beefy toploader 4 speed, making a car which is an absolute blast to drive.  To vouch for the quality of this car’s drive train, included in this sale is a packet of receipts from Cobra Automotive for over $40,000 in work on the drivetrain alone. Only the best components were used in the assembly of the car and, if you are having a motor built for a vintage Shelby, there is no better shop than Cobra Automotive. Their expertise is revered throughout the hobby. The car starts on the key every time, idles smooth, runs cool, sounds incredible, and shifts through the gears just as it should.  Mechanically, this car is 100% ready to go.

Without a doubt, however, 6S1497 is good for more than simply the “go”. The car features a show quality paint job which has no major flaws. In fact, although the pictures are quite well done, they cannot do this car’s paint justice. It can only be fully appreciated in the flesh. I have done absolutely no buffing or paint touch up to this car because it simply does not need anything. The car also features a well detailed, correct, and clean interior. Carroll Shelby has signed the dash and all interior surfaces display extremely well.  The engine compartment is also very clean and is well detailed for correctness. While not a concours car, 6S1497 will easily fare well at a casual show, cruise in, or regional Mustang show without any improvements.  The car's engine compartment has just recently been updated for correctness by myself and noted SAAC Concours Judge Bob Gaines.  Although the car is built to drive, it possesses enough quality detailing work and concours correct parts to satisfy most any hardcore Shelby enthusiast.  Cosmetically this car is “all there” and gives the next owner the chance to purchase a car which is, both, very fun to drive and also quite correct in appearance.

6S1497 is being offered at a very reasonable price. You could either purchase a continuation CSX4000 series Cobra or you could purchase this car and be in an original car that is capable of running with that newer Cobra. The high level of finishes and detailing combined with the stout nature of this car’s power train make it a car worthy of consideration from any enthusiast looking to add a GT350H to his collection.

1964 Shelby Cooper Cobra

Chassis CM/5/64

Sold

The story of King Cobra chassis CM/5/64 begins in the late Summer of 1964 when it was one of four Cooper Monacos ordered by Shelby American for the 1964 season.   Upon arriving at Shelby American, the cars were equipped with Colotti gearboxes and weber carbureted race spec 289s pushing a substantial 400 horsepower. CM/5/64 was finished in Shelby’s trademark Guardsman Blue with white racing stripes.

CM/5/64 had the distinction of being Bob Bondurant’s King Cobra. The car’s first outing with Mr. Bondurant was at the Times Grand Prix at Riverside Raceway on October 11, 1964. The car was lettered as #93 and managed a fifth place finish.  The car’s second outing as a factory entry came a week later at Laguna Seca for the Pacific Grand Prix on October 18, 1964.  The car was lettered as #96 and finished on the podium in the third position.

Following the car’s tenure as factory entry, it was returned to Shelby American where CM/5/64 was used as the test bed for a development program which involved relocating the front and rear shock mounts to allow for more suspension travel.  This program, and the King Cobra program as a whole, was interrupted when Shelby American received word that they would be taking over Ford’s GT40 program.

In the early months of 1965, CM/5/64 was sold to Ford Advanced Vehicles of Slough, England where it would become the race car of none other than Roy Salvadori. The enormity of Mr. Salvadori’s racing achievements goes without saying; however, he is most revered in Shelby history for his win at the 1959 Le Mans as co-driver with Carroll Shelby in their iconic Aston Martin DBR1.  Upon its arrival in Slough, the car was fitted with a new body which allowed for a different spare tire location in front of the driver.  FAV also fitted CM/5/64 with a ZF transaxle. Roy raced the car in the first two races of the year. His first outing was at Silverstone on March 3, 1965 for the Senior Service. Next, the car was raced by Mr. Salvadori at the iconic Goodwood circuit on April 19, 1965 for the Lavant Cup.

Following the car’s stint in Europe, CM/5/64 was returned to Shelby American in late 1965 and was advertised in Shelby American’s famous “Garage Sale”. The car was acquired from the factory by Oscar Kovalevsky along with King Cobra CM/4/64 and the entirety of Shelby American’s remaining stock of Cooper bodies and spare parts.  Following Mr. Kovalevsky’s purchase of CM/5/64, the car went through a number of owners. They are as follows:

·March 1966- James Brown of Greensburg, PA

·1968- Fran Larkin- Mr. Larkin campaigned the car in SCCA National and Regional Races

·1971- Traded to Mark Scarano of Vestal, New York for a BMW Trans Am car

·1971- Craig Smith of Robesonia, PA- Mr. Smith campaigned the car in 6 PAIA Hillclimbs in 1971

·1972- Dick Johnson- Mr. Johnson campaigned the car in the SCCA A Sports Racing class in the Midwest and Southwest Regions

·1976- Sold to unknown owner

·1979- Wayne Lyndon of Roseville, CA, chassis purchased out of Southern California

·1981- Barry Brown- Mr. Brown mistakenly restored the chassis of CM/5/64 as CM/6/64 utilizing a replacement Cooper body supplied by Len Pritchard in England. Upon completion of the restoration, CM/5/64 was campaigned at the 1999 Monterey Historics

·2001- Larry Bowman of Redwood City, CA- Mr. Bowman further restored the car and shared driving duties with Rob Walton. Mr. Bowman campaigned the car at the 2008 Wine Country Classic

·2009- Ross Meyer of Boyertown, PA- Mr. Meyers did not race the car

·August 2011- Current Owner- The current owner campaigned the car at Laguna Seca for the 2012 Rolex Monterey Historics along with the Coronado Speed Festival in 2011 (just one week after purchasing the car) and again at Coronado in 2012.

CM/5/64 is currently available for immediate acquisition as one of the most iconic Shelby American factory entries of its time. CM/5/64 offers with it the chance to purchase a car which has been used by the most elite of all 1960s sports car drivers.  History aside, CM/5/64 stands today as one of the most original and correct King Cobra chassis in existence. The car has been fastidiously maintained and actively raced over the entirety of its life and has never existed merely as a chassis tag and title, as so many other vintage race cars have.

The description and pictures seen on this page are only a small part of the car’s history. CM/5/64 is one of the most documented King Cobras in existence and a full package of that documentation, including hundreds of pictures and documents spanning the entire life of CM/5/64, is available upon request to serious buyers.  The car has also been heavily documented by Chuck Brandt, the King Cobra registrar for the Shelby American Automobile Club.  With purchase, the new owner will receive a large quantity of spares along with a list of names and current contact information of every known owner of the car. 

CM/5/64 is sold on a bill of sale and is currently in race ready condition for its next owner.  

1966 Ford Bronco

U13 Roadster

Sold

During the first 3 years of Bronco production, Ford produced a model called the U13 which featured no doors and no top from the factory. These trucks were produced as the most economical and sporty of the three variants and they were meant to compete with the CJ Jeeps of the day!

Well, after producing only 5000 examples from 66 to 68, Ford discontinued the model- making the U13 Bronco the rarest body style offered. 

Today, it is rumored that less than 500 examples of these U13s exist with even fewer existing in nice condition!

This particular truck came to me from Michigan and is a factory Rangoon Red 66 Roadster. The truck was a total ball of fun to have around!

It now resides in Massachusetts where it is used routinely by its lady owner to take her son to baseball practice. How cool is that?! Coolest mom ever, if you ask me..

1965 Mustang GT Convertible

Sold

Few color combinations are as striking on a vintage Mustang as Raven Black over white. On offer here today is a choice example of a 1965 Mustang GT Convertible which was delivered new in just that combination. This great Mustang came to me from the second owner of the vehicle who had owned it since 1970. During his adolescent years, the second owner worked at Bob Murphy Ford in Morton, Il as a prep boy and assisted the original owner in filling out the order form for this very car. He helped spec the car out perfectly including making the recommendation that the purchaser go with the GT package and without backup lights as he preferred the clean look the car had without them.

That same prep boy, the man who would become the second owner of the car, would later learn to drive in this car as the first owner was his driving instructor. In 1970, the second owner finally purchased the car and began a 44 year stretch of ownership.

The car before you is rare not only for its color combination, but also because it is a documented GT. Though many cars claim to be GTs, few cars other than Metuchen built cars have provenance to back it up. When this car was stripped to bare metal for restoration, grease pencil markings on the front of the radiator support were revealed which clearly read “GT” along with the other various option codes for the car. Pictures of this writing come with the car upon sale as does a picture of this car sitting in front of the second owner's house next to his other car (a 1967 GT500 in lime gold) in which the car is clearly in GT trim. Also with the car is the original Ford Mustang OwnerCard, original Bob Murphy Ford key fob, and original door tag. The second owner opted to use a reproduction door tag during the restoration of the car but wisely set aside the original for safe keeping.

As it sits today, the car is a well restored example of a 1965 Mustang GT convertible. The body and paint were done around 2000 and still show extremely well to this day. During the restoration, the car needed only a slight amount of repair which included floors and lower quarter panels. Otherwise, fenders, doors, hood, and truck are all original to this car. The work on the car was done well, this is not your typical bondo-filled car. The interior was also treated to a freshening with mostly all new components and the convertible top was replaced. In fact, the top has been kept up since it was installed (other than the pictures taken for this listing) so as to prevent wrinkling.

Under the hood, you will find a clean and correct engine compartment which is detailed to a high enough standard to impress near any Mustang enthusiast. The car drives extremely well and, frankly, is the perfect car for Spring-time cruising. If you are looking for the perfect car for the coming Spring, you have just found it. Not only is the example offered here displayed in one of the very best color combinations, but it also has the rare distinction of being a legitimate factory GT car. This example is priced well in the marketplace and will certainly not be available for long. Please call or email for additional pictures and details.

1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1

B9470045LRXFE

JAL550027

Sold

In the last 5 years, few cars have gained momentum in the marketplace like the Sunbeam Tiger. Known over the years as the “poor man’s Cobra”, Tigers have now garnered the appreciation which they were always deserving of as a fine sports car with no shortage of performance.

On offer here is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the very earliest Sunbeam Tigers, B9470045LRXFE. The 45th Mk1 by chassis number, this car was originally spec’d as a Mk1, which preceded the MK1a. Among the many differences in the cars, MK1s had leaded in body seems along with a folding hard cover for the convertible top. The MK1a had unleaded body seems and a more conventional cover.  Mk1 Tigers also featured a shorter Cobra style gear lever as opposed to the longer Mk1a gear lever.  Also of note, this MK1 is one of a very scarce number of early Tigers which received a black vinyl dash in favor of the more common burled walnut dash which was featured on the vast majority of Mk1, Mk1a, and MkII tigers.  Over the years many of the original “black dash” cars have been incorrectly changed to walnut dashes making this Tiger an even rarer proposition.

Of course, as happens with many cars which find themselves gaining value at above normal rates, the market has become flooded in the last few years by Tigers that are long on asking prices and short on quality. The car offered here is one which has survived the test of time extremely well. The car’s body shows no apparent signs of previous modification or rust.

Originally delivered the color code 19 of “Moonstone” (an off shade of white), this Tiger is finished in an attractive re-spray of Carnival Red over a black interior with the correct, and seldom seen, smooth upholstery. This car also features its original hardtop which is finished as well as the body. #45 has also benefitted from a host of period correct, original “LAT” options. These LAT options include the hood, 600cfm Holley carburetor, valve covers, intake manifold, chrome thermostat housing, posi traction, and traction bars. The car is powered by a period 5 bolt 289 block which is externally indistinguishable from, and far more desirable than, the original 260 that Mk1s utilized. The 5 bolt in this Tiger was built with the finest internal components and leaves absolutely nothing to be desired in regards to performance. The car runs just as a Sunbeam Tiger was originally intended to run.  Power is transferred through the original Dana 44 rear end with a 3.50 ratio. The car has been upgraded further with a Moto Lita wheel and Panasport wheels. The restored, original steering wheel for the car is included in the sale.

Overall, the Tiger presented here gives the next owner the benefit of owning an early Mk1 Tiger of which there are few offered on the market at any time. This example, specifically, comes out of long term ownership of a noted Shelby enthusiast.  The car presented here has all the desirable traits of the very earliest cars, including the shorter Cobra style shifter and the more aesthetically appealing hard convertible top cover and leaded-in body seams.  This Tiger can be used as a formidable show car but also would provide a great car for touring events as it is built with the best and most desirable components. One of the most pleasurable cars to drive and a quality example of the Sunbeam Tiger. We will certainly be sad to see this one go.

1966 Shelby GT350 Continuation Convertible

6S2385

Sold

During the dawn of the 1980s, Carroll Shelby found himself sitting on the sidelines as the cars which he created started to surge in price year after year. With the lack of adequate performance cars coming out of Detroit, the creations of Shelby American were, for the first time, beginning to gather serious value. This was largely due to their rarity and performance attributes which simply could not be attained in the showrooms of the 1980s.

Never one to miss out on an opportunity, Carroll wanted to get back into the car business. The only question was, which car would he build?  The answer came in the form of a car which was one of Carroll’s favorites during the golden years of Shelby American. In 1966, Shelby American produced only four GT350 convertibles. Shelby American produced one in each color of red, blue, yellow, and green. Carroll enjoyed driving the red convertible as his company car for some time until, upon his return from a business trip in Europe, he found that his car had been sold. As per company policy, company cars were sold after 6 months of use and Carroll Shelby’s own car was no exception to that rule.

All those years later, the memory of the red convertible had stuck with Carroll and 1966 GT350 convertibles would be the car which he most desired to build and own. Carroll quickly contracted J. Orion Bunk of Beverly Hills Mustang to build a special run of twelve cars which would bring the Shelby name back into the automotive world.  Carroll specified in the contract that he and his three children would each receive one of the convertibles, leaving just 8 for the general public.  Carroll even assigned Al Dowd (Shelby American’s Director of Competition during the 1960s) to manage the project on Carroll’s behalf. Although in the spirit of the four original cars, the twelve planned continuations would be given a number of additional features. These included a top of the line stereo system, roll bar, and pony interior with a console. The cars would even be supplied with NOS HiPo 289s which Carroll had managed to turn up in a Ford Motor Company warehouse in Detroit. Each car would also be test driven and inspected by Carroll himself (as noted on a dash plaque displayed in each car) and would be personally delivered to their original owners at Beverly Hills Mustang by the man himself.

Overall, the cars were met with rave reviews from the automotive press and Carroll’s convertible appeared on the cover of a number of different magazines. 

As it stands today, all four of the convertibles which were originally given to members of the Shelby family are still, and will presumably always be, under family ownership.  This leaves a total of 8 cars which are available to collectors around the world.  The example seen here is 6S2385 and it has been under the ownership of a well-known Shelby enthusiast for a number of years.

During the initial build of these cars at Beverly Hills Mustang, less than admirable workmanship was employed. It has been reported by some original owners who restored their cars that as much as 100 pounds of bondo were found in those cars.  Because of the poor quality of the initial builds of these cars, many of these continuation convertibles appear today as they did when they were first built.  6S2385, on the other hand, has benefitted from the ownership of a SAAC concours judge who has no shortage of ability to restore cars to concours level. This car has been finished with the utmost attention to detail and a vast number of NOS parts were used in the construction of the car. Furthermore, while many original parts and correct details were implemented into 6S2385, the car still retains the features which make the twelve continuation convertibles so special and distinguish them from the four GT350 convertibles which were built in 1966.  The car displays a level of quality far beyond what could have been dreamed of when the cars were originally built. As it sits today, 6S2385 is one of just a few of these continuation convertibles which is finished to a high level.

6S2385 stands as one of the finest examples in existence and is ready for immediate acquisition.  Due to rarity, the opportunity to own one of these convertibles is one which almost never comes along.  In addition, this particular car is, perhaps, the best example in existence.

1960 Devin D

Chassis Number DD5-1

Sold

One of only 49 Devin Ds constructed by the famed Bill Devin as turn key automobiles featuring a factory built tubular frame. Not a kit car as many Devins were.

Porsche/VW powered and weighing in at just over 1100 pounds, Devin Ds proved formidable competitors on the race track.

Too unusual and rare for me to let it sit any longer in the Kansas City area garage where it sat for 30 years!

1969 Mustang Mach 1 

9R02R122654

Sold

9R02R122654 was ordered on Halloween of 1968 and was optioned as what could only be termed as one of the meanest spec’d Cobra Jets to roll out of the San Jose production facility. The car was ordered in black over black with the legendary “R-Code” 428 Cobra Jet and a 4 speed close ratio transmission. The car came equipped with an N case 3.50 rear axle, factory power front disc brakes, and factory power steering. The car sported no spoiler or slats, giving it extremely clean lines.

The first owner used the car as his every day driver for some time and casually raced the car on the weekends, though he never performed extensive modifications to the car.  The car came to the previous owner in the 1998 and he executed a high quality restoration on an approximately 50,000 original mile car. The car now shows 58,000 original miles.

Prior to restoration, the car was an almost entirely rust free car and only needed the replacement of one quarter panel which was done using an NOS Ford full quarter. Otherwise, the car retains the entirety of its original sheet metal.  The restoration was undertaken by one of the Cobra Jet community’s most well-known body and paint men.

Today the car retains 100% of its original floors and neither the floors nor the torque boxes have ever seen rust. The car has held up extremely well since its restoration 15 years ago and the paint still shows as if it was done 2-3 years ago.  

The chance to purchase a “Double-R” Mustang as well equipped and as well preserved as 9R02R122654 does not come along often.

1931 Ford Model A Pickup

Sold

The 1931 Model A seen before you was purchased new in the Ozark hills of Missouri and passed through the hands of numerous owners who lived in that town until it was recently purchased. This little truck was originally purchased by a small grocery story and was used as their delivery vehicle, only seeing lite duty. The condition and originality of the body attest to its lite usage.  

Upon acquisition, the only thing that needed correcting was a paint job that had become thin over the years. The car was painted attractively in two tone maroon and black and the interior of the car was fully redone while still retaining much of the car's original patina. The car is not a perfect show car but is instead a very well restored car which still possesses much of the classic patina which it has accumulated over the years.

The truck is accessorized with a side mounted spare along with the iconic Henry Ford Quail hood ornament. The paint is done to a high level and was just recently correctly pin-striped by Bob Bond. Bob was George Barris' pin-striper in the mid 80s and his skill is evident on this truck.  The the truck is perfect mechanically, having just been fully gone through.

If you are looking for a no excuses Ford Model A, you have certainly found it here. This truck will show well but will also drive without any concern at all. It is reliable as an anvil and needs no sorting before being enjoyed by its next owner.

1957 Ford Thunderbird

Sold

On offered here is a beautiful 1957 Ford Thunderbird which is finished in an incredibly rare and beautiful shade of factory gunmetal metallic. As documented by the factory build sheet, the car was a factory gunmetal metallic car and was purchased originally by a doctor in Monterrey, California. It stayed in the same original ownership until being purchased by its second and current owner.

The current owner bought the car after calling the first owner to inquire about the car's current condition. Upon recieving the call, the orignal owner of the car remarked that he could not get close to the car that day because the frame was out being waxed. When asked if he was confusing the frame with the body, the original owner clarified that the frame itself was powder coated and went in for waxing once a year. The current owner purchased the car because of the extreme level of detail and finish which the car displayed. The car has been restored to a high level and is as nice on the bottom side as it is on the top.

The car is a documented 2 owner car which is equipped with the venerable 312ci 245hp V8. Power is transferred through a Ford-O-Matic transmission.
