THIS RARE 1965 FASTBACK HAS MANY SHELBY GT 350 FEATURES. NO EXPENSE WAS SPARED ON THIS 19 YEAR BUILD. IT HAS NO RUST WITH ONLY 57k ORIGINAL MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IMPORTED INTO CANADA IN 2005. LESS THAN 90 BREAK-IN MILES SINCE THE FULL RESTORATION. I HAVE PRODUCED A COMPLETE RESTORATION BINDER WITH ALL BUILD PHOTOS, DOCUMENTS AND RECEIPTS TO SUPPORT THIS HIGH END BUILD. COPIES OF ALL OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT IMPORT DOCUMENTATION AND ALL ALBERTA PROVINCIAL SAFETY INSPECTION REPORTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. VEHICLE HAS AN ACTIVE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND FULL HAGERTY INSURANCE. I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL IOWA CLEAR TITLE. THE ONLY REMAINING ITEM TO COMPLETE THIS FINE RESTORATION WOULD BE MAKING A DECISION ON PAINT. THE CURRENT PAINT IS ALMOST 60 YEARS OLD AND THEREFORE HAS BLEMISHES, STONE CHIPS AND IMPERFECTIONS TO BE EXPECTED FROM SIX DECADES OF USE. WITH A NEW PAINT JOB THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE LIKELY APPRAISED IN THE $100K RANGE, OR ELSE YOU CAN DRIVE IT AS-IS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT PARKING LOT DINGS ETC.
I AM MOVING ONTO A NEW PROJECT AND TRYING TO DOWNSIZE TO FREE UP SOME MUCH NEEDED GARAGE SPACE. PLEASE NOTE, THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONING OR A SOUND SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT TO REPLICATE CARROLL SHELBYS DREAM FOR A POWERFUL, LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE MACHINE. IT IS NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART. IT RUNS HARD. IT IS LOUD. IT IS CRAZY FAST AND WAS BUILT FOR THE STREET OR THE TRACK. IT HAS NOT SEEN RAIN OR SNOW SINCE 2005. WITH NEW PAINT IT WOULD BE SHOW QUALITY. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS COMPLETELY DETAILED AND PAINTED BLACK. NO CORNERS WERE CUT ON THIS BUILD. ONLY HIGH END PERFORMANCE PARTS. WEBER CARBS WERE RECENTLY TUNED AND SYNCHRONIZED FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. LESS THAN 90 BREAK-IN MILES. IS FULLY SORTED. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. VEHICLE IS REASONABLY PRICED GIVEN THE TOTAL TIME AND MONEY INVESTED IN THIS RARE AND COLLECTIBLE CLASSIC. IT WILL ONLY INCREASE IN COLLECTABILITY AND VALUE IN THE YEARS TO COME. I WILL ASSIST WHERE POSSIBLE WITH ANY COORDINATION FOR THE SHIPPING AND DELIVERY OR PICK-UP. NO TRADES. PRICED AT $59.9K US FUNDS.
