[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 5947206, member: 9515"] Robert, I have no idea. I don't think I've ever seen an unmolested and original Shelby. The were just used cars at one time and were driven hard and put away wet. All of the ones that I've seen have been completely restored to "better than new" condition. I just received my new issue of "Cars That Matter" price guide (Jan. 2008). The market determines the best cars, and here is a brief guide of values (all are #2 condition cars, and all are GT350s): [LIST] [*]1965 Shelby $308,000 (add 10K for battery in trunk, and another $10K for two digit cars) [*]1966 Shelby (and the GT350H) $178,000 [*]1967 Shelby $139,500 [*]1968 Shelby $98,500 [*]1969-70 Shelby (they are the same thing) $103,000 [/LIST] The fakes of 1980-1982 GT350 'verts are worth one-sixth of the real thing. The 1999 Series 1 is a fake. If anyone owns one, I meant to say that they are "tribute" cars. All of the guys that I know that owned (or raced) them have either sold their cars or have them FS (~about 20). I noticed that the #70 1966 GT350 (original sheet metal and dash) that was raced out of the Cobra Automotive stable will be offered for auction at Russo and Steele on Jan. 20, 2008. One of the problems with the high values of old muscle cars is all of the speculators and crooks. One crook, Fred Englehart, ripped millions from clients that were in the Mopar crowd. He owes millions of dollars to sellers and titles to buyers. Do a search using his name and/or "Mopar Empire Falls....Millions Lost". Did you know that there were many more Hemi 4-speed cars built in just 1970 than Cobra Rs built in three years? If you placed all of the Hemi cars (real and fake) in a parking lot with all of the Cobra Rs, you'd have a problem even finding the Cobra Rs. :-D [/QUOTE]
