So I decided to pass by my girlfriends brothers shop to run new power wire and do tidy up my systemt (hiding all the power wire, ground wire and speaker wire). He works for a shop that specializes in restoring classic cars mostly 60 Shelby GT-500's. So I snapped a few pics to share. This particular car $385,000.00 to an attorney in California. He said he plans on doing a Cannonball run with the car and then it is going in the garage (nice way to spend almost half a million dollars). The car has a Rousch 511IRFE motor with direct port nitrous and a few other upgraded goodies such as a modern car audio system. I will post more pics later on this weekend. Now on to the pics. Enjoy!

Damn, that looks amazing.

 

OMG That is an awesome rebuild.
Love to get behind the wheel of that beast

 

^We went for a test drive in one that was finished before this one a few weeks ago. The power that this beast puts out is unbelievable! Quite funny there was a Mustang in front of at light reving at some kids in a Civic. My brothers boss reved the motor and the guy in the Mustang quieted down....pulled off like a Sunday driver...lol

 

Hi-Tech_G,

I'm pretty sure that's a '67 rather than a '69, but an awesome car either way.

Loosely related: I just found out that a wood rimmed steering wheel that I've had laying around in a box for the last 30 years is an original from a '67 Shelby G.T. 350/500. I found it in the attic of my first garage in 1976 and had no idea until a couple of weeks ago that it was authentic. If you find out that any of your girlfriend's brother's clients are looking for the real thing for their resto, let me know.

 

Sweeet A$$$$$$ Car!

 

If it is a genuine Shelby, it's worth thousands! Yeah, that's not a 69 but whatever.

 

Awesome car, and high tech suspension work..but unoriginal paint job...little bit too much of the gone in 60 seconds there.

 

I know.
I've always assumed that it was just a nice aftermarket repro with a Shelby horn button, but somehow couldn't
bring myself throw it away (although my wife now admits she almost did - several times).
A good friend of mine is getting ready to build a Factory Five 427 Cobra kit car and I was going to offer it to him if he wanted it.
I pulled it out and looked for markings, did some research and... well, let's just say I don't think I'll be giving it away.

 

Actually I stand corrected the one prior to this one was a 69. This one is a 67. I will keep you posted if any of them are interested in original parts. I actually want to see if I can get some pics of my dad's Hemi Cuda.

 

Awesome! one of my dream cars... I'll post some pics after this weekend. I will be taking a look at some shelby gt500's, cobras, etc.. should be fun.

 

whao nice. wish i had the skill to do that

 

I just looked at your sig and realized you are in Florida. My girlfriends brother is down there right now at some auction. If you are there just look for the crew with the Custom Auto Recreation shirts on. You may be able to get some real good shots of the cars they have built.

 

I'm drooling here, between the pictures of the Shelby Mustang and the mere mention of a Hemi 'Cuda. Does your dad still own it?
