Equipment
302/175hp, 5-speed, Michelin TRX tires, power steering, power front disc brakes, limited slip, factory air conditioning, power top, AM/FM cassette stereo.
Condition
Unrestored with 101 miles and the plastic still on the front seats. A few light scratches on the wheels. Otherwise this car is as new. Rare in that it's a GT350 convertible and a 5-speed car. Even so, the fact that someone would mothball a car like this for so long is shocking, and so is the fact that so many people seem to have mothballed 80s pony cars.
Market commentary
It may say 'GT350' on the side stripes, but it doesn't say 'Shelby' on the hood. Putting it away for 32 years brought a seemingly handsome return, until it's discounted. It's less than 5% per year without taking into account storage and insurance costs and the service it took to wake it up. It's better than investing in Tyco Labs, but not Berkshire Hathaway. The seller hit a home run out of the park with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. This is fantastic money.
