Need Help- Looking at 68 GT 500

[B O N Y]

There is a group of 15 Dallas guys I know heading to all the Scottsdale auctions, and the expectations are for some much more reasonable pricing on musclecars and exotics. Good luck out there !

Car with no stories, and having excellent documentation, will continue to bring top dollars. Car with stories, built for the auction circuit will prove what the market is today. There will still be plenty of folks at B-J who will buy, watch and see.

We all know which cars to watch this week, the GrandSport Vette at Gooding, California Special, the first little Bird etc..

I have come to the end of this wild goose chase. The Shelby expert, has multiple Shelby's, and knew his stuff. He did not find an original piece of fiberglass on the car. He showed us how the reproduction stuff is different
from the original molded 'glass. Even the interior had repro roll bar without
retractors, and the console was not original also. In short, he believes it is a clone, probably from a 390 GT.

Marti checked on 2 variations of the VIN and both showed up as errors.

This car looks good, and is probably a fun driver, but not what I am looking for right now. Thanks for all the quick input from the forum, it helped a lot !
