[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16721012, member: 6727"] You beat me to it. LOL. [HEADING=2]Rare 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 worth a fortune found in abandoned home - Historic sports car could be worth more than $300,000[/HEADING] By Gary Gastelu | Fox News You never know what you'll find in a fixer-upper, including another fixer-upper. [IMG alt="This 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was found in an abandoned home in Georgia."]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2022/01/640/320/Shel-1.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] This 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was found in an abandoned home in Georgia. Classic car hunter Matt Taylor told Fox News Autos the story of a rare American muscle car that his friend led him to in an abandoned home late last year. Zach Taylor -- no relation -- saw an ad on Facebook for a 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby steering wheel and followed it up to discover a family had inherited the run-down house and belongings of a deceased relative who had a stash of cars and parts in the garage. [IMG alt="The GT350 was rusty, but all-original."]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2022/01/640/320/shel-4.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] Among them were a 1991 Ford Mustang convertible and an appealing 1965 Ford Mustang K-Code coupe, but the real treasure was hidden under a cover where it had been sitting for around three decades: a complete 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, one of just 562 that were made that year. The paint had some rust, thanks to the raccoons that had been living in the tarp and using it as a bathroom, and the trunk showed a fair amount of corrosion, but the interior and mechanical parts were in pretty good shape for a car that had been left untouched for so long. [IMG alt="The interior was largely intact and just needed to be cleaned."]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2022/01/640/320/shel-5.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] The interior was largely intact and just needed to be cleaned. (Matt Taylor) Matt cut a deal with the family to buy the entire lot and brought the car back to his shop. He refurbished the 289 cubic-inch V8 and got it running pretty easily; he replaced the suspension, fuel tank, exhaust and a few other components with correct parts.
