1966 Shelby GT 350-H Backyard Find!
 

An amazing find!!! To say 40 years of Ohio elements have taken it's toll on this iconic Rent- A Racer, well it's an understatement. It will be interesting to see if the original owners son follows through on this massive restoration.

Wow. They were worried about moving it and splitting it in two. Its amazing they got it on the trailer.

Heres a pic of where the steering box mounts

I don’t know how anyone could let their property go like that... let alone a rare car like that?

I have my doubts the owner's son will have the original body restored. There's a huge amount of sheetmetal replacement. Certainly can be done, but huge $.


Not sure how sentimental the car was as it disintegrated for 40 years in their backyard.

Agreed. If you can afford to restore that car you could have afforded a dry shed to keep it in. Not gonna happen. Hopefully somebody who deserves it gets the car and the NOS metal.

Thanks for posting that Steve,what a great find.
With a Tree trunk growing underneath it lengthwise too.

That should be a criminal offense.

Not that it matters now but when I see cars like this I wonder if blocking the car up on cinder blocks on a concrete pad would have lessened the damage or it's a humidity thing that causes this much rust.

What a shame

I think its just Ohio. When they salt the roads, I'm convinced they find old cars even off the roads and spread salt on them. Probably a conspiracy with the Big 3 automakers and Morton Salt.:grin:
