    You are exactly correct and I don't understand why he is selling that car so cheap.

    Oh yes,,,he does have quite a fair herd there. I bet it would be neat just to look at his junk pile.

    I think it would be beyond difficult. First, you don't see $25k project Shelbys too frequently. He is selling it at that price because that's all the market will tolerate.

    It would also be very difficult to choose between buying his car or a new 2009 KR. I guess CS kinda put the hurt on the 69-70 used market when the 07's came out too

    It looks like a very nice car at a very affordable price. I don't say that too often. The seller seems to be a OK guy too from the limited exchanges I have had with him on forums ,Ebay and what not. Bob

    I think its a real nice looking car for the money. I wonder if he has the original tags?

    I noticed the door tag also, it is a reproduction.

    I'm a little surprised that no one pulled the trigger yet on the BIN.

    No not saying that. The Shelby tag and door tags are repros. The windshield tag looks legit. It may be whoever restored it thought new tags would look better than the originals or they may be missing. Either way I would suggest any potential buyer investigate before purchase.

    Very astute observation Sherlock. I did notice that the pics of the paperwork matched the numbers but you are right,,,never can tell.
