Equipment
427/425hp side oiler, automatic, store brand tires, 10-spoke Shelby alloy wheels, hood pins, MSD ignition, grille-mounted driving lights, power steering, Stewart Warner underdash gauges, pushbutton radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
An original car except for one repaint represented with 27,439 miles from new. Engine bay is unrestored but clean and maintained with what looks like pretty recent hoses and wires. Paint is a little tired and there is cracking around the scoops. The Shelby caps are missing from the wheels. Very good original interior with barely any signs of wear. Originally built as a company car but instead delivered to an amateur racer who had the original 428 replaced with the present 427 side oiler at Shelby American [the SAAC Registry says it was owner-installed.]
Market commentary
Offered at Kissimmee in January where it was reported bid to $130,000. With the result here in Houston the collective wisdom of the market has been reinforced as giving little or no value to the side oiler 427 under the hood. If the "installed at Shelby" legend is to have any effect it needs to be supported by more than the seller's parole history. Until then this is what it's worth.
