Year: 1966 Warranty: Existing VIN Number: 6F08C350474 Title: Clear Exterior: White Condition: Used Inspection: Inspected Options Cassette Player Convertible Vehicle Description NOTICE TO EBAY: This vehicle is being offered as a used Ford Mustang Convertible, with no Shelby badging, apparent or implied. As such, Carroll Shelby Licensing has no right to interfere with this auction. You are bidding on a 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible Restomod, built by Wilhelm Motor Works (WMW). WMW makes no claims that this car is a Shelby, as Carroll Shelby Licensing has pulled it off eBay twice before. There are no Shelby emblems or trademarked products currently being sold with this vehicle (hence the "Censored" stars in the photographs), though it will become the subject of a hearing on January 23rd to determine whether or not emblems may be added. Wilhelm Motor Works has a license in hand to build an unlimited quantity of G.T.350C (Convertible) vehicles, and this car was started under that contract. WMW claims it still has a valid license; Shelby claims WMW does not. This particular vehicle has caused Shelby to file a lawsuit against Wilhelm, specifically naming this car. Shelby is spending a fortune to say that this car is not an authentic Shelby, and a press release has been issued (go to: _http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051221/law089.html_ (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051221/law089.html) ). Obviously, Wilhelm denies any wrongdoings. Wilhelm has already spent a fortune to secure a license and deal with legal aspects to prove this car is authentic. Whether it is or isn't, no car has ever caused so much controversy in Shelby history. You can now buy a part of history! We have nicknamed this car Legal Trouble. WMW makes no guarantees as to whether or not this car will appear in the Shelby American World Registry. WMW will attempt to pay a royalty for this car, which if accepted, will oblige Shelby to put it in the Registry, per our license agreement. Legal Trouble is the sister car to the vehicle depicted in the current, January 2006, issue of Mustang Monthly (please see the insert calendar, April photo), which is the Prototype 1966 G.T.350C, produced by WMW. Legal Trouble is the 4th car off the WMW assembly line (#0004) and is the first to be auctioned on eBay by WMW, though Carroll Shelby Licensing has yanked it twice. This vehicle is built to resemble one of the most popular customizing options for 1966 Mustang convertibles. It is rebuilt, has new paint, and many of the parts are new. It has a 302 V8 with plenty of horsepower. The interior is a custom two-toned interior. This convertible is being sold without all of the modern features, making it a very period-accurate driving vehicle. We have some of the finest craftsmen in the world, and our quality is impeccable! The completion date of Legal Trouble is on or before February 15, 2006. As such, different options could be ordered and applied to the vehicle after this auction (such as engine size, transmission, brakes, etc). Legal Trouble will come with a certificate of authenticity from WMW, and we will include a copy of the lawsuit. All photos of this vehicle are an artist's concept of what the car will look like, based upon other vehicles we have made. The price of this car is F.O.B. Stockton, CA. We will be happy to assist the winning bidder in obtaining transportation to any destination, at bidder's expense. Thank you for your interest. About Wilhelm Motor Works Wilhelm Motor Works was founded to restore and build premium classic cars, including the Continuation Shelby Mustangs, for an exclusive clientele. Expert in all aspects of fabrication, restoration, design and development, the Company’s team was pleased to be part of the Shelby Program that has captured worldwide attention and awards at prestigious auto shows and races. The Wilhelm Motor Works team of craftspeople fulfills the dreams of discerning collectors and enthusiasts at two Californian facilities. Jon Wilhelm founded the current Continuation Shelby Mustangs program over three years ago and won a contract to build vehicles as a settlement to a substantial lawsuit against Shelby. Additional information about Wilhelm Motor Works, products, services, and memorabilia is available at _www.WilhelmMotorWorks.com_ (http://www.wilhelmmotorworks.com/) . WARRANTY -- This vehicle is 40 years old, and the manufacturer's warranty from Ford has long since expired. WMW is the restorer/modifier, not the manufacturer. Many of the components, however, which are new, have a warranty that will be passed on to the purchaser (for the replacement only of the item in question). The performance engine is warranted to start and run properly at purchase. WMW will pass that warranty on to the purchaser and extend it for the entire vehicle. Everything will function properly at purchase, or it will be fixed immediately. When the purchaser takes possession of the vehicle, he or she will agree with WMW that everything is in order, and WMW has met its obligation to deliver a properly functioning vehicle to the purchaser. WMW also warranties that it knows of no major collision damage or rust damage on this vehicle. ____________________________________ _Enlarge this picture_ (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...ble-NOT-a-Shelby-GT350-Clone_W0QQitemZ4601354 021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) Select a picture (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...ne_W0QQitemZ4601354021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...tible-NOT-a-Shelby-GT350-Clone_W0QQitemZ46013 54021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Restomod-1966-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-NOT-a-Shel by-GT350-Clone_W0QQitemZ4601354021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphot ohosting) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...350-Clone_W0QQitemZ4601354021QQcategoryZ6236Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) (http:// cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Restomod-1966-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-NOT-a-Shelby-GT350-Clone_W0QQit emZ4601354021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Restomod-1966-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-NOT -a-Shelby-GT350-Clone_W0QQitemZ4601354021QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#e bayphotohosting) _FREE Counters and Services from Andale _ (http://showcount.honesty.com/cgi-bin/showcounterseBay.cgi?site=0) Shipping and payment details Pickup & Shipping Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. _Vehicle shipping quote is available._ (http://pages.ebay.com/ebaymotors/services/das-shipping.html) Will sell to Worldwide only. ____________________________________ Deposit via PayPal US $2,000.00 within 48 hours of auction close. ____________________________________ Payment methods accepted Cashier's Check (certified from US or Canadian bank) or money order Full payment Required within 7 days of auction close. ____________________________________ Seller's payment instructions PLEASE NOTE: Though it says above that full payment is due within 7 days (an eBay req't), only 50% of the purchase price plus mutually-agreed upon options between WMW and the Buyer is due on the 7th day.
