finding a 1967 GT500 Shelby Cobra Mustang... awesome. Buying it for 15thou in 1997, incredible. Letting it decay/not doing anything to fix it... signs you are "that guy" who is going to "fix it up someday"

Shelby Mustang GT 350 tach comparison,
I remember reading somewhere that the above pod is pretty rare, as it was a Shelby accessory, the CS is just visible at the bottom
I guess this one is a year newer
And I can't recall what I used to know about the back windows... plexi one year, vents the next, I can't recall. In 67 the rear windows got scoops... in 65, no windows at all on the R code full racers

fastest 289 Shelby, was this GT 350R Cobra Mustang of Charlie Kemp, even faster than the Shelby AC Cobra 289, surprisingly... and Charlie bought it at a used car lot
a 30 over 289 was pumping out 450 horses
Charlie scored 17 consecutive wins between 1968 and 69

the Shelby GT 500 Mustang with 8531 miles, is finally out of the garage for a good look before auction
Not likely that we'll see another low mile unrestored like new GT 500 for sale anytime soon.
For the info, and more photos http://www.rgilliganauctions.com/4-25%20brown%20contents.html

Larry Brown put only 8531 miles on his Shelby GT 500, put it in his garage, and died. Not driving cool cars kills you. Just saying. Now, it's up for auction
Factory tires... but replacements from 1970 or 71
the smog stuff alone is worth thousands of dollars to a restoration shop. Everyone threw this junk away, now no one has it for a perfect 1000 point restoration
he left no will, he had no heirs. So... will you step up and give a Cobra Mustang some much needed love?
The Black Jade paint is only lightly covered in dust, while the car itself appears to be nearly in as-delivered condition, including the 428 Cobra Jet engine and four-speed transmission--as well as the 8,531 miles on the odometer.
“As discovered” photos illustrate the time capsule with 40 years of dust and what appears to be the production line tires, belts, hoses, factory steering wheel cover and even the 1968 date coded spark plug wires. The PA state inspection sticker on the windshield expired in January 1973. From our initial inspection, the car appears to be extraordinarily original and complete less the smog system, heat shield, s-tube, snorkel and original sifter assembly.
Learned about it on http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1090895_1969-mustang-shelby-gt500-cobra-jet-found-in-pristine-condition-auction?fbfanpage via http://www.rgilliganauctions.com/4-25%20brown%20contents.html
