Shelby Research and Questions for the Pros
Folks, I have a line on (purportedly) the only 1969 Shelby Barrier Test & Prototype Pilot car remaining of the 3 produced. It's complete, but in <span style="font-weight: bold">very </span>rough shape. The seller is asking quite a hefty price ($200k+). What I'd like to know are your opinions on what it would take ($) to restore this car perfectly (needs ground up, everything) and what your thoughts are on how much it would be worth once complete?

I apologize for duplicating the post (posted this in the Ford/Mercury forum as well)

Re: Shelby Research and Questions for the Pros
I'm not entirely familiar with the value of all Shelbys even though I watch them and have owned a few. Count on at least $150,000 in restoration cost plus the cost of the car. That puts you at $350,000 and that's way too much money in this car in my opinion.

Re: Shelby Research Question
Wow. A 69 Shelby is about 100K these days and he is asking double what they are selling for. Unless there is some outstanding aspect of the car other than Pilot- crash car, I can't see more than a 20% bump in value over a regular one. Or maybe I'm too far removed from them to even have a opinion. Any pics ?

Re: Shelby Research Question
1st I've heard of ANY "crash test" car being marketed
looks like the years have not been kind to the shell either it appears that EVERYTHING is missing out of the interior and drivetrain I can't imagine it being worth anything over $10-20 k (assuming it has a title) for this scrap heap escapee ... what drugs is the selling using?

Re: Shelby Research Question
I'm going to start collecting old supercar wrecks if it brings anywhere close to 6 figures.

Re: Shelby Research Question
69/70 shelbys have a 48 before the engine designation (5th digit) which for regular production are M-351 GT350 and R-428 GT500. This Q code car has a vin that falls in line with a few prototypes in fact the next sequential number from this car is Q code prototype. One of the press cars was actually an S code car. This particular car is not known to the registry as of the last printing. Looks to be the real deal
