Found 68 Shelby and need help

[Bill Pritchard]

Sounds like another car that will just sit and sit, and eventually the owner's descendants will end up dispositioning

This thread is what I have been saying for about 10 yrs now. Too many people that actually have cars tend to get "Barrett-Jackson-IDIS" and think all there stuff is worth what they see on TV.

Many on he have gotten ruffled when I say that the car isn't worth what someone is asking by the time you restore it. Parts and resto costs are thru the roof and you better be doing a mid $150,000.00 car or you'll be upside down in a market that can turn at any time.

It's a different story if there is a sentimental attachment and that is why you bought it. But some of these cars that people need to save are just not worth the $$$ to do it from a business or $$$ point. The Shelby is the perfect example. the $$$ just are not there at the end for someone to save it. Now say this was someone's lost fathers car or something, and they have the financial means, then fine.

But look at this car. Rich has the shop to do it at, which would help keep the $$$'s down some, and could do it over years as a filler job (if he could find time) and still not worth it.

Now if this was a 1969 Yenko Camaro convert with Yenko installed ZL-1 (Yes I know they didn't make or do any of those) then the $$$ would be there at the end.
