Nicely Detailed and a Stunning Example of Classic Shelby Muscle

Shelby "Candy Apple Red" paint with White interior.
Originally a Royal Maroon car - the color was changed with Lacquer paint in the 1980s (still in very good condition).

To protect the numbers matching block. it was removed and a new short block was installed with the original Shelby heads. intake manifold. carburetor and accessories (by Gary Grimes Automotive). The original short-block was fully restored with NOS date coded parts "pickled and stored" and it comes with the car (See Photos). A detailed original parts-list is available.

Signed by CARROLL SHELBY - on the glove box door.

Detailed traceable ownership & past registrations (5 owners. including the present owner) back to the original dealer: Bill Watkins Ford in Scottsdale AZ.

This car starts. runs and drives perfectly & reliably.

All Proper Shelby Unique items are intact including Factory Roll Bar. Shoulder Belts. Power Steering. Power Disk Brakes. and Console with Special Instrumentation. Options include Original AM/8-Track Radio. Folding Rear Seat. Original Seat Belts. and Proper Shelby Cast-Aluminum Wheels with Goodyear GT-II White Letter Radial Tires.
Exceptionally detailed throughout including the trunk.

In one photo you will see the springs for the hood. they have been removed to protect the hood and fenders from bowing under stress. as they are the original fiberglass and subject to stress bow. The photos of the bottom show the car in its original orange oxide primer with factory notations.
