    I have no idea why this story would come to my page, being a women who isn’t in to cars, although my husband is an auto painter, neither of us care for it as a hobby. That was so much fun to watch, the history and knowledge of it all. The man who assessed it really knows his stuff! The men who sold it were so nice and I wish you all the luck with your dream car! I hope I get to see it when it’s all done! I do appreciate a great paint job along with all the other work !

    I was all of 16 years old in 1982 when I saw a Shelby Cobra sitting in a barn in Indiana. We were painting the barn and saw something covered with some blankets to protect it from the pigeon shit. As a curious kid, I went in and pulled back the cover......and I fell in love. The owners had parked a disk, plow and planter around it to keep it there. Always wonder what became of it.

    I feel really lucky to have grown up with a favorite uncle who had a 68 gt350 from the time i was born. Not too many people ever even get to ride in a Shelby and i cruised around in one every summer until about 1997. He finally sold his mint candy red 68 Shelby and at the time $35k was a lot, but Gone in 60 seconds come out not long after and the prices of them went thru the roof because of Eleanor. Plus it was originally a 1 of 6 Raven black w/ black luxury seats car, so it would be so valuable today, it always drove perfectly.

I went right to the dealership I believe I paid $8,000 for her..Brand new..Big Bucks for 1967..I had the Need for Speed at the time that was the car to get. That car was definitely a beast.. beautiful collection of Mustangs you have there I know the convertible is very rare that was also expensive when it first came out..👉🏻👍

    I had a 64&1/2 - 65 289 with 2 4 barrels & 4 speed FastBack (Black/White interior) with the round Enameled Cobra Snake in each Front Fender. I owned it From Sept '68 to 1978-9. Sold it to a 15 year old boy who wanted to restore it, For $100. 2 years ago I stopped where I had Delivered the Mustang, but the People didn't live there anymore. The gentleman that now owned the house in Sussex WI. mentioned he had Bought it 7 years ago and when he first looked at the house he remembered seeing an Old Black Mustang in a Lean To next to the Garage. Didn't pay any attention if it was restored or not.

    Considering fastbacks didn't come out til 65, a 64 1/2 is rare.

    Congrats Jerry. I REALLY enjoyed watching the parts being uncovered. I feel that since it's not numbers matching, it can be driven a lot more and enjoyed. Jim Wix probably has the original engine. Lol

    Thanks, kind of feels that way and to think it was still there after all those years. I am still stunned so much that when I see the car in Jason's shop I can hardly believe it is mine. I do need a 428 Police Interceptor engine and a set of those dual fours and the oval air cleaner assembly.

    Considering the low mileage and completeness of the car and parts, it would be a shame not to bring it back to stock. It is a Shelby so drive it like ya stole it and then fix it as needed. They were meant to be driven and enjoyed; seem reasonable to me!

    As a young man, I owned a 1976 Chevrolet NOVA SS with a small block 400... It was white with red racing stripes and red interior... I miss that car and I regret selling it... I had 3 jobs to buy it and rebuild the engine, transmission and rear end... Lost a couple of girlfriends because I spent more time and money on the car rather than on the ladies...!!!! I love these old cars... My dad bought a Ford Fairlane for $400 in the late 70's , wrecked it and sold it for $400.. that Ford Fairlane was supposed to be my car when I got my driver's license... Unfortunately I never got it... I remember it looked similar to a Mach 1 and that's why I loved that Ford Fairlane...

Not many left there anymore.
