You're probably right. No sign of being in the wet. Wheel wells are very clean. None of the usual gunk wedged in the underbody. One of the cleanest bodies I've seen.

This looks like a real "honest" car and has me wishing that my stable bigger to bring this one home. I like the pony cars with another pedal for shifting but nicely represented!

Once people figuire out these cars were designed and built by Shelby, they will no longer be affordable.
Cleanest body of any car I've seen.

I had no idea these cars were designed and built by Shelby; learn something new everyday. GLWS

Shelby was no longer technically "building" cars for the '68 Model Year. Shelby's were now built by Ford.

From Wikipedia:

Shelby automotive and the GT/CS:
Shelby Automotive, now part of Ford, was assigned the task of designing and engineering the necessary parts and assembly procedures for the GT/CS. This was done right alongside the development of their 1968 Shelby. The fiberglass parts were crafted at A.O. Smith, in Ionia, Michigan, in steel molds.

Didn't you just buy that car? Didn't like it or just moving along to something else? Sure seems like a nice car.

I have owned this car for almost a year, and it's a GREAT car, and drives fantastic. Original cars just drive better then restored ones. It's just that the car does'nt need anything at all, and I love to work on cars. I need something to WORK on, and I don't want to start messing with, or change this one, it's just too pure to do that with. It's fun to take it to cars shows (it gets LOTS of attention, and you'll never see another one of these anywhere), and its very fun to drive.

$25,500/OFFER
Or if someone on this site has something to trade, I prefer muscle car with good body, no rust, needing engine or engine work.

Thanks Dan!

Greg, when you finish dropping in the 428SCJ and 4-speed, I'll be right over to pick it up.
Very nice car!!

If I had not just dumped close to that into 2 new motors for YS-199, I would be very tempted, but the checkbook is now a bit light. I really like the car.

Mecum Kissemmee last 2 days had 2 of these for auction. Lot W218 sold for $24,000 + fees. Car had some aftermarket stuff on it, non-factory paint colors. Lot T181 bid to $57,500 and the bid goes on. Car is a custom. I think my price may be too low!
