INTRODUCTION: The real deal! VIN # matching, documented by the Marti Report and Shelby registry. This is the 24th Shelby made in 1969! Only 129 in these colors, but what really makes it rare and desirable is the fact it's a 4-speed with air conditioning! Only 71,520 actual miles as indicated in the registry and on the previous title. Investment grade!

EXTERIOR: The Shelby styling changes truly separated itself from the Mustangs. Distinctive fiberglass features were on everything except the roof and the doors! Upfront a wide open grill and a hood with 5 air ducts feed as much air as possible to the 351. The extended front fenders, dovetail trunk and quarter panel scoops are also fiberglass and add to the good looks of this car. Upfront features correct Lucas fog lamps and in back is a set of sequential taillights borrowed from the 65 Thunderbird. The body is believed to be original and is straight with no rust or damage. The car has a really nice repaint of its very desirable factory Pastel Gray color, (yes it looks white). The paint is smooth to the touch and has a really nice shine. The blue side stripes are reflective and really pop! The glass appears to be original and in great condition. The brightwork has a lustrous shine and I believe it's mostly original. The front grille and tail lights also look to be original and in great condition. The center mounted cast aluminum exhaust tips are one of my favorites of all time. It's sitting pretty on a gorgeous set of 15" cast aluminum Shelby rims with chrome lips. They are wrapped in a set of reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires.

INTERIOR: This is a very original and unabused interior that looks absolutely fantastic. The original black vinyl knit seats present wonderfully and I don't see a split or rip anywhere. It's equipped with the optional fold-down rear seat that doesn't look like it was ever sat in. It also has Shelby seat belts throughout and shoulder belts in the front that are attached to the Shelby roll bar. The Shelby center console is original and is complete with armrest, gauges, toggle switches and a 4-speed! The original climate controls and radio are still in place. I do not see any cracks on the dash pad and the bezels are in fantastic condition. Showing only 71,520 original documented miles on the odometer. It has a working clock on the passenger side and factory gauges including a tachometer. It also has a tilt steering column with the original steering wheel and rim blow horn. The deluxe door panels also appear to be original with a remote toggle for the driver side mirror and speakers in the lower section of each side. The rear view mirror and sun visors are definitely original. The headliner is original and a great shape but does have a couple of the stitched seams pulling apart, it's still very presentable.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The original VIN # matching 351 cubic inch ram air V8 is still in place. It is equipped with the correct air cleaner, Shelby intake manifold, ribbed Cobra aluminum valve covers, and much more. The factory air conditioning pump and distributor are still in place. It is also outfitted with power steering and power brakes. All the components look clean and proper, the hoses and belts have been replaced. It has an Autolite radiator hose, heat riser tube and date coded spark plug wires too. The battery is properly secured plus the horns and squirters are hooked up. The underside of the fiberglass Ram Air Hood, fenderwells, and firewall are all neatly painted satin black.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and inside the jamb are neatly painted Pastel Gray just like the exterior. The weatherstrip looks original but is still soft and pliable. It also has the original spare tire inflation instructions sticker which is too cool. Inside is the actual space saver spare tire, lug wrench, jack assembly, and vinyl mat. Under the mat is all solid rust-free steel with what appears to be an original textured finish paint. It also has a working trunk light. The interior can be accessed easily through a fold down hatch.

UNDERSIDE: The underbody, floors, frame rails, and rockers appear to be as dry as a chalkboard. It's got original metal and lived in Texas most of its life. The steering and suspension have been rebuilt as needed and works great. Our shop just inspected and replaced the lower control arms. The rear shocks appear to be new and the car just had a front end alignment. Of course it has disc brakes in front and drums in back with a hooked up e-brake assembly. It also has a fresh exhaust system with the crossover pipe, resonators, transverse muffler, and exits in the center through cast aluminum exhaust tips. The fuel tank and sending unit appear to be new. When looking up at the engine it's fresh and has the correct components. It also has the correct four speed manual transmission and 9 inch posi rear end with 3.25 gears.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: I'm in love! This authentic and highly documented Shelby has the originality and the options to be considered investment grade. If you buy and you are guaranteed to look cool, have fun, and be financially smart all at the same time!
