GT500 KR in a barn

[flyingn]

Friend is looking at it. Near me in Jersey. Whats its worth?

[big gear head]

Wow, I don't know what it's worth, but I'd love to have it.

[markjohnson]

I'd delete those VIN photos cuz right now people are doing New Jersey title searches on it to locate it.

[scuncio]

Seriously, pull those VIN pics.

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Pull the vin pics now!!!!! And I'm from NJ lolol Great car!!!!

[flyingn]

the pics are pulled but seriously no one will locate it. Its been off the road for decades.

Reminds me of 10+ years ago when someone said the "Lear Jets" are flying to where a car had been found because someone posted vital info on said car.

Don't bet on it......

I bought and resold a similar 'garage find' 68 Shelby, 428 auto, candy apple red. A pretty driver needing a few minor things. Sold to first guy that looked at it for 72k.. Alot depends on originality, condition.

Btw, if it was a 4 speed, it would still be in my garage !!

[bugsy]

awesome find. i have a KR same color 4speed 26k miles, needs to be restored but in good shape. Mine is 4 sale. KR had cast iron intake, ram air air cleaner with snorkel, and glove box emblem said GT500. unless they changed them, JMO. Congrats to new owner.

[MosportGreen66]

Awesome find... post more pics, especially when the clean up begins!

[Pusher_Man]

Honestly, I’d post on the SAAC forum and ask them. Those guys are the experts on the Shelby’s. Bob Gaines is a 67 judge and has been very good to talk with. There are other good ones on there but also one or two vultures, so don’t post the Vin pic there.

I agree it’s a very cool car. I love my 67.

[A12pilot]

Frank...I bet I know that car! If it's the one I remember, I drove past that parked in a barn with a Confederate flag hanging above it, while I was in my 66 Coupe going to see my girlfriend at the time. Sending you a PM, my brotha! Tell me if its the same one....

sometimes photo's have enbedded GPS cordinates that can be extracted and take your right to where the photo was taken.

[cook_dw]

I just hope he was cool the pics being posted before he could get the car purchased.. This could have went/potentially still could go the wrong way.. Hate to see a friendship lost over a car. Best of luck to him on getting it.

[flyingn]

I was there today. Its real.. I put in a bid :)

[A12pilot]

Bingo! Haha! Awesome! It's the car I knew since 17! You owe me a beer at MCACN, Franky!! That's pretty cool and I can't believe it's still there.

Cheers

we will share a buncha beers at MCACN. Its been in the barn 35 years

[flyingn]

anyone have vintage Ford dealer codes that can tell me where it was originally purchased?

[A12pilot]

Awesome Frank. I have a list in my records somewhere...I'll have to dig it up. Probably Rice & Holdup in Pennsauken right down the street from where I grew up. Rice and Holman of course, is the real name. Just going on what my Grandpop called them:tongue::tongue::tongue:

I'm sure someone will post up something before I find out...

Cheers
Dave

[flyingn]

rice and holdup. Everyone used to call them that lol

[NorCam]

Awesome find boys. Way jealous for sure.

What's the plan...clean it up and see what you got?

[pontiacfarmer]

Now with all this NJ people here .. is it a way to track down a owner using the NJ licence plate numbers??

[flyingn]

FYI- the GT500 KR headed to iowa. He is going to MCACN in Nov too :)

[A12pilot]

Well that's just too cool. I'll finally get to see that car in person after all these years. You'll have to introduce me to the new owner. Matter of fact, you gotta introduce me to you too!

Well Frank.. that single handedly made the entire show for me! Well, besides seeing friends, making new ones, sharing car stories, beer, happy hour, and whatnot. But seeing this car will cap off the show!

Cheers

Hopefully that’s accurate about it NOT being restored.

From meeting with the new owner over a few beers, That is accurate.

[mockingbird812]

I really hope he brings it to MCACN. I'd love to see it. Like my teenage year's relived knowing that was the car I used to drive by. Very cool!

Would love to have this one in our Barn Find & Hidden Gems area, but to date, it is not signed up.

Anyone (peer-pressure) know the "new" owner?
