Equipment
289ci/390hp with Paxton supercharger, Toploader 4-speed, inboard headlights, power steering, power brakes, AM pushbutton radio, woodrim steering wheel, Marti report.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as one of 35 cars fitted with the factory-installed Paxton blower. Good paint with a few surface scratches and small blemishes on the hood. Good exterior brightwork other than a scratched driver's door handle and faintly pitted driver's side mirror. Very good interior. The engine compartment is less than pristine but still showable. Lightly scratched rear glass. The restoration is aged but still very much presentable, while the supercharger and Nightmist Blue paint make it a serious standout even among the dozens upon dozens of other Mustangs in this auction.
Market commentary
This car hammered sold at a $313,500 bid at Mecum Indy 2016 and then didn't resurface at auction until now. This number is much more appropriate for a Shelby this rare and well-equipped.
