Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Represented as the matching numbers engine, sitting in a grubby engine bay with dry belts and plenty of dirt. It probably wouldn't run for very long if at all. The original paint has several sizable chips on the front and is dull overall. Touched up scrapes on the driver's door. Tired, lightly scratched chrome. No major rust visible underneath. Well kept original interior. An unrestored GT500 is a real find, but this is a project car that probably sat in some garage or carport for a long time with boxes and furniture pile atop it. It needs a lot and is not a preservation candidate.
Market commentary
A disappointing Shelby that requires a committed enthusiast to see through its many issues to suss out the car that lurks within. That enthusiast wasn't here today, only realistic bottom feeders looking to buy right with headroom to support all the attention it needs. Bought at the reported high bid or even a little more it would be a great value.
