We first took care of the basics by removing and rebuilding the stout 289. sprucing it up with an Edelbrock 4-barrel. chrome valve covers and a chrome air open element cleaner.   We put it back in the car with all new accessories. belts. radiator hoses. heater hoses and a Be Cool aluminum radiator.   A lot of trouble and expense for a car that drove pretty well to begin with . . .

 

While the transmission was out we had it disassembled and rebuilt. installed a new clutch kit and gave it a new speedometer cable.   The rear end too was taken apart and rebuilt along with new U-bolts and leaf spring & eye bolts.   Again. the Hurst shifted top-loader worked great. as did the rear axle but leaving these important items unattended was not the car we were building.   We then ditched the drums. installing disc brakes at each corner with most of the lines replaced with stainless steel.   A new master cylinder went in and we ponied up for a booster so we could say. "4-wheel power disc brakes . . . "  

 

        

 

We wanted something special through which to view those pretty slotted/drilled rotors and so. bolted on stunning set of Eleanor style alloy wheels; 17 x 7 up front and 17 x 8 at the rear. wrapped with new Sumitomo steel belted radials.   With new steering and suspension. the effect these expensive upgrades had on handling. stopping and stability are profound.   We now had a chassis the equal of this car's new found power.   With dual exhaust and Super Turbo mufflers. we also had a reliable. bad-ass sounding. quality driving Mustang in need of equally bad-ass body and paint . . .

 

The Hertz theme needed black and we needed it super shiny. with unique Le Mans stripes laid bumper to bumper.   GT 350H side stripes of course. with a fiberglass Shelby hood and a galloping Mustang grille emblem moved to the left. because that's what a Shelby looks like.   A billet black Cobra gas cap. GT 350 badge on the tail light panel and a GT rear pan with trumpet exhaust absolutely nailed the look we were going for.   Time for the inside . . .

 

 

  

 

Like everything else about this incredible car. the interior actually looked pretty good.   All it needed was a new dash pad. a fresh set of door panels. a turn signal switch. a few lenses. some bulbs and a rear seat latch cover.   Shelby seatbelts and sill plates also seemed like the right thing to do and interior quality now matched the exterior . . .

 

This is what a $80. 00 Mustang looks like. Do you think you'll need to pay that? Call me and find out.

Easily one of the top two or three best projects we've ever done (we build several every year) this gem is likely one of the best built early Mustangs you will ever see.   Folks regularly list nice Mustangs (or nearly as nice) in the 80 to 90+ range and often well into 6-figures. with most not able to document the quality as we have.   Assuming you could locate a prime. rust free Fastback in this condition. you could spend between $60. 00 and $80. 00  and perhaps have the quality. reliability and good looks of this formidable machine.   The entire drive train. steering and suspension is new and/or rebuilt.   The 4-wheel power disc brakes are new.   The paint is new. the interior is new and everything in the trunk is new.   It starts. runs and drives better than new and it turns heads wherever it goes.   Obviously. quality like this doesn't come cheap but it would cost far more and involve much headache and stress doing it yourself.   With this car. just spend (big) and drive . . .

 

We began with a very nice car.   Making it a one-in-a-million pro-touring diamond was simply a matter of expertise (extreme) time (long) and money. (lots)

 

 

 

This is where a lot of restorations cut corners. lose interest or simply run out of money. Incredible all new interior doesn't just look terrific; everything in here is brand new or functions like new and feels like quality . . .

 

       

 

New upholstery. carpet. door panels. armrests. dash pad. headliner. seatbelts and floor mats.   We even put down underlayment before the carpet for new car acoustics.   Power steering. 4-wheel power disc brakes and a smooth shifting 4-speed makes this rare Shelby H build a fun car to drive fast. a safe car to cruise in and an easy car to drive slow and show . . .

 

       

 

A look through these stunning Eleanor wheels reveals modern disc brakes at each corner with drilled/slotted rotors . . .

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that. I'm an automobile enthusiast.   I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.   I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.   I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore. built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.   Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you. the bidder. that this is an above average. exceptional vehicle.   If nothing about the car excites me. it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people. I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear.   It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often. an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list.   To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris. owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson. Nevada has my back.   He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no small detail unimportant.   They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation.   Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price. but a happy customer that says good things about me.   Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence. something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true.   If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell. my choice is an easy one.   I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay.   He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch. researches its history and documents originality and authenticity.   Historical significance. rarity. special features. possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.   Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself.   The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch.   I provide detailed views of the interior. under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.   Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean.   This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth. especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually. I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing.   If it's a fast car. we film it going fast.   If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill.   In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust. working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital. laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.   How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty?  We do.

No “dealer. on-line or in the real world. takes it to this level.   No other seller or organization provides you. the buyer. with so much information.   I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away. unable to touch or feel their purchase. that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth.   All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact.   I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay.   To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all. please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500.   If your inquiry is sincere and your offer  serious. you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with.   If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation.   Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so. don't waste your time. or mine.   I am after all. a “used car dealer. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer.   I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no longer mine.   I must sell at that number.

We first took care of the basics by removing and rebuilding the stout 289. sprucing it up with an Edelbrock 4-barrel. chrome valve covers and a chrome air open element cleaner.   We put it back in the car with all new accessories. belts. radiator hoses. heater hoses and a Be Cool aluminum radiator.   A lot of trouble and expense for a car that drove pretty well to begin with . . .

 

While the transmission was out we had it disassembled and rebuilt. installed a new clutch kit and gave it a new speedometer cable.   The rear end too was taken apart and rebuilt along with new U-bolts and leaf spring & eye bolts.   Again. the Hurst shifted top-loader worked great. as did the rear axle but leaving these important items unattended was not the car we were building.   We then ditched the drums. installing disc brakes at each corner with most of the lines replaced with stainless steel.   A new master cylinder went in and we ponied up for a booster so we could say. "4-wheel power disc brakes . . . "  

 

 

 

We wanted something special through which to view those pretty slotted/drilled rotors and so. bolted on stunning set of Eleanor style alloy wheels; 17 x 7 up front and 17 x 8 at the rear. wrapped with new Sumitomo steel belted radials.   With new steering and suspension. the effect these expensive upgrades had on handling. stopping and stability are profound.   We now had a chassis the equal of this car's new found power.   With dual exhaust and Super Turbo mufflers. we also had a reliable. bad-ass sounding. quality driving Mustang in need of equally bad-ass body and paint . . .

 

The Hertz theme needed black and we needed it super shiny. with unique Le Mans stripes laid bumper to bumper.   GT 350H side stripes of course. with a fiberglass Shelby hood and a galloping Mustang grille emblem moved to the left. because that's what a Shelby looks like.   A billet black Cobra gas cap. GT 350 badge on the tail light panel and a GT rear pan with trumpet exhaust absolutely nailed the look we were going for.   Time for the inside . . .

 

 

 

Like everything else about this incredible car. the interior actually looked pretty good.   All it needed was a new dash pad. a fresh set of door panels. a turn signal switch. a few lenses. some bulbs and a rear seat latch cover.   Shelby seatbelts and sill plates also seemed like the right thing to do and interior quality now matched the exterior . . .

This is what a $80. 00 Mustang looks like.

 

Easily one of the top two or three best projects we've ever done (we build several every year) this gem is likely one of the best built early Mustangs you will ever see.   Folks regularly list nice Mustangs (or nearly as nice) in the 80 to 90+ range and often well into 6-figures. with most not able to document the quality as we have.   Assuming you could locate a prime. rust free Fastback in this condition. you could spend between $60. 00 and $80. 00  and perhaps have the quality. reliability and good looks of this formidable machine.   The entire drive train. steering and suspension is new and/or rebuilt.   The 4-wheel power disc brakes are new.   The paint is new. the interior is new and everything in the trunk is new.   It starts. runs and drives better than new and it turns heads wherever it goes.   Obviously. quality like this doesn't come cheap but it would cost far more and involve much headache and stress doing it yourself.   With this car. just spend (big) and drive . . .

 

We began with a very nice car.   Making it a one-in-a-million pro-touring diamond was simply a matter of expertise (extreme) time (long) and money. (lots)

 

 

 

This is where a lot of restorations cut corners. lose interest or simply run out of money. Incredible all new interior doesn't just look terrific; everything in here is brand new or functions like new and feels like quality . . .

 

 

 

New upholstery. carpet. door panels. armrests. dash pad. headliner. seatbelts and floor mats.   We even put down underlayment before the carpet for new car acoustics.   Power steering. 4-wheel power disc brakes and a smooth shifting 4-speed makes this rare Shelby H build a fun car to drive fast. a safe car to cruise in and an easy car to drive slow and show . . .

 

 

 

A look through these stunning Eleanor wheels reveals modern disc brakes at each corner with drilled/slotted rotors . . .

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that. I'm an automobile enthusiast.   I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.   I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.   I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore. built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.   Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you. the bidder. that this is an above average. exceptional vehicle.   If nothing about the car excites me. it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people. I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear.   It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often. an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list.   To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris. owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson. Nevada has my back.   He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no small detail unimportant.   They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation.   Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price. but a happy customer that says good things about me.   Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence. something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true.   If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell. my choice is an easy one.   I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay.   He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch. researches its history and documents originality and authenticity.   Historical significance. rarity. special features. possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.   Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself.   The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch.   I provide detailed views of the interior. under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.   Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean.   This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth. especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually. I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing.   If it's a fast car. we film it going fast.   If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill.   In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust. working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital. laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.   How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty?  We do.

No “dealer. on-line or in the real world. takes it to this level.   No other seller or organization provides you. the buyer. with so much information.   I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away. unable to touch or feel their purchase. that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth.   All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact.   I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay.   To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all. please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500.   If your inquiry is sincere and your offer  serious. you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with.   If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation.   Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so. don't waste your time. or mine.   I am after all. a “used car dealer. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer.   I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no longer mine.   I must sell at that number.
