Charlotte, North Carolina

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1968 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 MCA 3X Gold Shelby GT350 Convertible 302 V8 4 Speed Year: 1968 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Blue Mileage: 23509 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 302 V8 Interior color: Black Vehicle info From boulevard cruising to road course bruising, it's hard to find a better all-around performer than the Ford Mustang. And now that One Ford has firmly established the model as a global tour de force, the market for exclusive, investment grade ponies is only going to get more competitive. A claimed 3-time MCA Concours Gold winner, and believed to have been driven only 23,509 miles, this magazine-featured Shelby certainly raises the bar. Presently, the car rolls as a fully-sorted head turner that packs a superb 302/4-speed drivetrain in an original interior and correct Acapulco Blue paint. And, if you're in the market for an awesome blue chip collectible that's the perfect fit for show fields and well-shaped financials, it's the pedigreed nobility you've been waiting for! According to this stellar drop-top's Deluxe Marti Auto Works Report, it was assembled on March 7th, 1968 in Metuchen, New Jersey with the following door data and optional equipment: DOOR PLATE: Serial Number: 8T03JXXXXXX-XXXX8 1968 model yearT Assembled at Ford's Metuchen manufacturing facility03 Shelby ConvertibleJ - 302 cubic inch 4V V8XX,XXXth Mustang scheduled for production at MetuchenX,XXXth Shelby scheduled for production76B Shelby ConvertibleD Ford #3077-A Acapulco Blue paint6A Black Dcor bucket seats13C Scheduled to be built on March 13th, 19688D2780 Home Office Reserve ordering district under order number 27801 3.89 standard axle ratio5 4-speed manual transmission OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:Black, power convertible top that's complete with a glass backliteExtra Cooling PackageVisibility GroupWheel lip moldingsPower steeringPower front disc brakesTilt-Away steering columnAM radioInterior Dcor GroupHeavy duty batteryTachometer that's complete with a trip odometer Assembled six days ahead of schedule, this striking GT350 was shipped to Schmidt Ford Sales in Baltimore, Maryland and, thanks to its awesome combination of killer power and So Cal style, helped keep the "America" in the home of America's National Anthem. After three decades of excellent maintenance and minimal driving, Conover Racing & Restoration of Hanover, Pennsylvania orchestrated a highly detailed, frame-off rebuild that reworked all the car's panels into super smooth surfaces. Once those surfaces were fully prepped, displaying a precise level of fit and finish, correct Acapulco Blue base was buried in a thick clearcoat shell. And once that clear was sanded and buffed, correct "G.T.350" side stripes were laid over a fantastic, mirror-like shine. The result is one top notch Shelby showpiece that, until recently, anchored a serious muscle car collection and, presently, could hedge any major investment portfolio. Shelby's GT line threw fuel on the muscle car fire by not only adding power, but also introducing some of the coolest and most aggressive Mustang design cues ever created. At the leading edge of this slick pony, a pristine chrome bumper dissects a correct Shelby grille which hangs familiar Lucas driving lamps between bright halogen headlights and bullet-style parking lamps. At the top of that grille, a broad "SHELBY" script leads the eye past satin lanyards to a lightweight fiberglass hood that's founded in clean glass and straight stainless trim. At the sides of that glass, correct quarter scoops and a small chrome mirror combine with fresh Cobra emblems and correct Shelby fender caps to lend the car's profile an aggressive, yet finished appearance. And at the back of that profile, a familiar Shelby decklid hangs a second "SHELBY" script over correct tail lamps, a handsome Cobra fuel filler, a second chrome bumper and highly detailed reverse lights. For 1968, Ford authorized a special, high performance version of its venerable 302 for specific use by Shelby in their newly christened Cobra GT350. Lift this Mustang's lightweight hood and you'll find an authentic J-code V8 that includes a hotter cam, heavy-duty connecting rods and a nodular iron crank. Completely rebuilt during the car's extensive restoration, that once-and-done mill twists a stout 315 horsepower into 333 lb./ft. of impressive torque! At the top of the rugged Windsor block, a finned and painted air cleaner jams oxygen into a correct aluminum intake via proven Holley carburetion. At the sides of that intake, high-flow heads hang attractive Cobra valve covers between upsized valves, a FoMoCo breather and low-restriction exhaust manifolds. The engine's fires are lit by a traditional points distributor, which sequences spark through fresh Autolite Radio Resistance plug wires. That fire is kept at bay by a correct Extra Cooling Package, which includes pliable Autolite hoses, reproduction screw clamps and a correct FoMoCo radiator. And the whole process is kicked into motion by a tagged Autolite battery, which jolts current through snazzy Autolite cables. Aesthetically, this Mustang's exceptionally detailed engine bay appears very close to original, featuring an even combination of Ford Blue and Satin Black paint under a series of correct marks and decals. And everything, from the car's fresh brake booster to its factory-installed smog controls, is fully-sorted and ready to roll. Take one look under this awesome Ford and you'll find exceptionally clean, expertly detailed floors that are every bit as solid as the car's straight exterior panels. Behind the legendary V8, a correct Toploader 4-speed spins a rugged Ford 9-inch that's fitted with beefy, 3.89 gears. At the front of that drivetrain, straight control arms hang correct power steering between correct power disc brakes. At the back of that drivetrain, correct leaf springs hang traditional, power-assisted drums at the edges of a fresh stainless fuel tank. At the center of the car, an aluminized, true-dual exhaust system funnels spent gases through an H-shaped crossover, small resonators, a transverse muffler and slick stainless tips. At the edges of the car, power flows through concours-correct, NOS E70-15 Goodyear Speedway 350s, which are wrapped around razor-sharp Shelby 10-spokes. And everything, from this Ford's oxide-primered floors to its correctly marked driveshaft, looks as good as the day it left the factory. Inside the car's impressive cockpit you'll find an original Deluxe interior that's been painstakingly maintained for close to 47 years. The first thing you'll notice is an old school wood-rimmed and chrome-trimmed steering wheel that spins around a tagged Tilt-Away column. Above that steering wheel, a great-looking dash frames a correct 140 MPH speedometer and correct 8,000 RPM tachometer next to a vintage radio and twice autographed glove box. In front of that dash, plush vinyl seats, which still feel cushy and well sprung, present virtually no evidence of sun damage or rot. Beneath those seats, fade-free carpet and bright stainless sills center an original Ford shifter and Cobra-branded console between color-keyed mats and authentic Stewart Warner gauges. Opposite that carpet, an original roll bar complements a correct black top. At the sides of that roll bar, stylish door panels feature correct stainless trim, standard chrome handles and matching wood accents. And behind the passengers, a clean trunk centers an original spare between correct decals and a simple mat. As you might imagine, the sale of this investment grade Ford includes significant documentation. The car's proud new owner will receive vintage Owner's Manuals, vintage marketing materials, restoration receipts, MCA Concours judging sheets, a Certificate of Participation for the Carlisle Ford Nationals and the aforementioned Marti Report. Sporting an exclusive V8, classic good looks and a full roster of desirable options, there's no question this Shelby is both collectable AND enjoyable. It's cooler than pretty much anything on the road, it has excellent pedigree, and it's fully sorted and ready to hit the show. If you're looking for a car that's almost certain to increase in value, grab this clean drop-top and find out what it's like to own a true thoroughbred!

Thomaston, Maine

To start with, let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself, I am not a dealer, just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,130) transactions. To start with, let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information/photos/video in my ad.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. I ALSO HAVE INTERNATIONAL BUYER REFERENCES FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHECK. Although it existed a mere 13 years before it morphed officially into the Malibu, Chevrolet’s Chevelle remains a beloved muscle car. Introduced in 1964, the mid-sized car was produced to compete with the Ford Fairlane. The Chevelle SS was the carmaker’s high performance version of the Chevelle. Featuring its own line of performance products and engines, the Chevelle SS boasted the most powerfully rated engine of all the muscle cars. The 1967 Chevelle changed very little from the previous year, but had a new reworked bumper and a new blackout tail panel. Among other changes, it did come with better drivability because of more aggressive tires, front disc brakes, and 14” wheels. A new three-speed automatic joined the ranks of available transmissions. A new model was introduced, the Concours, which was merely a prestige wagon with wood grain sides. The 300 and 300 Deluxe remained relatively unchanged in their bare-bone offerings. The Deluxe did offer different interior color and more expressive trim. Both offered a 2- and 4-door sedan, while the Deluxe had the added option of a 4-door wagon. The Malibu continued its reign as the leading seller of the Chevelle, and would continue to do so throughout the Chevelle’s life, because it boasted the highest number of model options with the 4-door sport sedan, 2-door sport coupe, convertible, 4-door sedan, and 2-seat station wagon. The Concours was just an upgraded form of the Malibu wagon that most visibly distinguished itself with wood grain sides. Inside, the Concours featured a high-end textured vinyl interior for both the seats and the side panels. The SS 396 saw a performance damper. The L78 was not available, and the L34 dropped to 350hp from 360hp. This was a result of a new GM rule governing the horsepower allowances for all cars other than the Corvette. Although GM did not offer the L78, some dealers installed the engine and 612 cars included this high performance engine. For your consideration is this 1967 Chevelle SS clone. Originally a Malibu Sport Coupe with a V8 engine and a bench seat with column shift automatic, this Malibu was going to be a 427 Chevelle SS with bucket seats and a 4-speed super car. However, it was not to be. The clone process was started in Pennsylvania where the car was repainted to yellow with a black vinyl roof. Bucket seats were added and a 4-speed console was retrofitted to handle the 2-speed automatic transmission. A 350ci engine was installed along with all new interior. (Front and rear seat covers, door panels, head liner and carpet). What is good and bad about the paint is; the bad, it was repainted yellow; the good, it was originally Madeira Maroon or better known for its 1970 color name of Black Cherry. Black Cherry has long been one of the most popular colors ever produced for the Chevrolet cars and I am in hopes that the next owner will restore this Chevelle and paint the car back to that incredibly beautiful color of Madeira Maroon. (Black Cherry) The person I purchased the car from purchased it back in 2003 in Carlisle, PA and drove it back to Maine with the good intention of completing the restoration. He purchased the Maine vanity plate “67 427SS” and that is as far as he got. (The pair of Maine vanity plates will go with the car.) The Chevelle set for the next 12 years in his barn (The barn has a wooden floor.) where I looked it over and purchased it. Due to a very musty smell from sitting, I gutted the entire interior, sprayed with Lysol and cleaned everything I could with Clorox wipes. Then I purchased a new carpet and new headliner and reinstalled the interior with the exception of the headliner which will go with the car. I changed the oil, added antifreeze, blead the brake lines, installed a new temperature sending unit and then decided it was time to try and start the car. Prior to starting the car, I drained the gas tank, installed new gas with octane booster and filled the 4BBL carburetor with gas, letting it sit overnight to re-swell the gaskets. The next morning, I pumped the gas and turned the key and the engine fired right up and idled beautifully. I checked the transmission fluid while the car was running and ended up adding a quart. Don’t get me wrong, the car needs lots of attention. I.e. floor boards, wipers not working, transmission slipping, shocks probably need replacing, low beams not working. However, there are good aspects. i.e. 1967 Chevelle 2-door sport coupe V8, Maderia Maroon (Black Cherry) original color paint, excellent frame rails, new interior, horn works, radio works, oil pressure gauge works, speedometer works, high beams work, running lights work, blinkers work, brake lights work, brakes work. Today I added fuel at the gas station and the fuel gauge started working. (I may have said it was not working in my video which I shot prior to getting gas.) Check out the video here: Exterior: The Yellow paint is driver quality. The glass is all good. The chrome and bright work is driver quality. Decent rims and tires. Doors open and close fine with all exterior locks functioning properly. Interior: The interior is in very good condition overall. There are no rips or tears in the seats, door panels or dash. The carpet is new. There is no headliner installed but a new headliner will go with the car. There is still a slight musty smell that I am told will dissipate. Front seat belts only. The wipers and heater blower motor are not working. Undercarriage: The undercarriage has been patched in areas but the important frame rails are in very good condition. The exhaust needs to be replaced. The gas tank is in good condition with no leaks. Emergency brake is not working. Engine: 350 ci that starts and runs good. No dripping or leaking noticed. As a precaution and a lubricant, I added a container of Bards Aluminum radiator additive when adding the antifreeze. Transmission: The transmission is slipping but is still very drivable. Trunk: The trunk is in good condition having been re-spatter painted at some point. There is no spare or jack assembly. Mechanical: The brakes work correctly. The power steering is fine. The suspension needs to be addressed with new shocks. There is a clunking when going into gear initially. ID Photos : Vin. Number: 136177G107576 Vin.

Regardless of the condition of my muscle cars, they are all between 40 and 50 years old. My rule is this; "Once the transaction is complete and the car leaves my property by whatever means, if there any issues with the car, it is now the responsibility of the new owner and not me." This may sound a little snooty, but every now and then someone asks me that question.

I have sold cars all over the country as well as Canada, England, Switzerland and Australia and have never had a problem. The car will come with a Bill-of-Sale, the Maine registration signed over to the new owner and a copy of the Maine law regarding titles which is on a form issued by the Maine Motor Vehicle Department.

$22,500

Zionsville, Pennsylvania

Hi, and thank you for visiting my auction/sale. My name is Brian, and i have been a Master Automobile Technician for 22 years. The last 4 of those as a Master Trained Watchmaker. I have been a huge fan of Toyota's all my life even before I could first drive. Back in 1986 my friend down the street, who was 14 years old at the time, called me on the telephone and said, "Hey, you got to ride down to my house and see what my dad just bought." So, i do. As I ride my bike up his parents 450 foot black topped driveway, the second bay garage door opens, and parked inside is a 6 month old Silver, 1985 Toyota Supra Mk2 5 speed with grey cloth. Wow! That is the coolest Toyota I have ever seen. Exotic car like in a sense to a 15 year old who's parents drove 60hp beetles. I knew right then that I was going to own one of those someday. Fast forward to now. I have always built fast cars, and never bought them. My extensive automotive, and watchmaker skill sets have allowed me to be creative in building from scratch, motor swapped cars. For 15 years, i focused mainly on the 82-85 generation Toyota Celica, and Supra's working with the 7mgte, 22RTE and 1JZgte Turbo engines. My philosophy has been that drivabilty and reliability always take presidence over having max, head gasket blowing power. Always using the stock computers limits. That is until one day, my friend stops over at my garage and says he was interested in building a 5.0 Ford V8 powered Mazda Miata. He says that a kit can be bought to do it. My reply was that if I was going to put a V8 in Miata, it would be one from a Toyota. He says that "nobody makes a kit for that swap". My reply is... "We will make one"__________________________________________________________________________________________________ This White Lexus V8 Miata (Car #2) (Serial #JM1NA3518M1210691) is my finest period correct swap, and without a doubt, the hardest and most complex I have ever done. Only 2 of these cars have ever been built in the United States to this high standard, and emissions legality. The first was a British racing green prototype (Car #1), which is in a collection in California now, and mine pictured here for sale, which is car number 2. It took over 2 and a half years, working about 16 hours a week to complete. (I documented/logged 1,663 hours) @ $50 hr (my shop rate) = (Alot of $ ) I hired 2 proffesional welders and an exhaust pro of 15 years to make the exhaust. Which is a work of art in itself. One of the welders I needed was a pro at stick, and one to work with chromoly. Myself, and 2 other guys designed a crossmember idea using the original, and built it around the engine using steel and chromoly tubing. Its also designed for ease of service of the engine, and the use of the Miatas rack and pinion steering. Everything from the complete integration of the wiring (*Using OEM Miata to OEM Lexus plugs for the harness*) and full diagnostics (Check Engine/ Trans Codes), to the design of the catalyst systems, A/C and cooling system all had to be thought out, and carefully done. Even the Lexus fuel pump, as well as the Lexus fuel computer is used. No loud Walboro fuel pump whine behind your seat in this car. The Lexus fuel computer monitors voltage, and adjusts according to engine load and demand. Its mounted in the trunk as well as a sealed Optima Red Top high amp battery. I'm a very type A person, so details such as quality, look of originality, and emission legality were vital with this build for me. Even down to the use of the OEM Lexus "V8" emblems that match the font on the cylinder head plug covers. One on the dash, and one on the right rear above the 2 1/2 stainless tail pipe. Everything works, looks like a factory built sleeper inside and out. Uses a Borla XRS muffler that is quiet and refined. It drives like a Lexus V8 powered Mazda Miata, which is hard to describe. Its very fast, shifts buttery smooth and will chirp gears in ECT power mode. The engine is a 1992 Lexus SC 400 displacing 4 litres, 32 Valves, 6 bolt mains, all aluminum construction and using a factory high rise crossflow intake. Makes 250 Hp/260 lbs of torque and is 100% stock in this car. It uses the stock Lexus 4 speed automatic with ECT, and Lexus engine computer mounted in the Mazda's same stock computer location. It employs a later 97 Miata (open 4.10 rear.... safer for street use, so it wont spin you in a circle),axle set, and Miata powerplant frame. Driveshaft is an OEM Toyota 4WD Hilux/Miata that is custom made and balanced to 93 MPH by (The Driveshaft Shop in SC) My car uses a California compliant Catalytic Converter for use in Pennsylvania. "All" of the Lexus emission controls operate the Mazda's full factory smog equipment. Its all intact and working....not there for looks. Upgraded front brakes (Metal Masters) and front springs (300lbs)(Street car only). All 4 struts are new, and a precision alignment has been done. Car is fully serviced and needs nothing at this time. It's drivability is so stock and smooth, you could use it everyday. It never overheats or runs hot, and I have personally tested and driven it 10,000 real world miles. I use the A/C when its hot outside, even with the top down. The Lexus SC400 curbed at 3800 lbs using 3.30 gears. The Mazda after the swap with the Lexus V8....2600 lbs with a full tank and 4.10's......no cheating. This car is garage kept all year round, and I have showed it many times, including twice as Carlisle Import and Kit nationals. Many different types of car people were blown away everytime time they saw it, at any show. My Miata is an excellent alternative to domestic V8 swaps in these cars, where max power, racing and track use was not the main focus. Car gets 20-23 MPG and only runs on premium gas. 10-1 compression is stock for this V8 from the Lexus factory. I spent $4000 just on the engine restoration and rebuild alone using only Lexus OEM parts. The engine had 92K miles on it when I pulled it from a complete 1992 doner SC400. The car itself is clean and rust free. Paint is shiny. It has small dents on the body that are hard to notice on white, and could be removed by a paintless dent pro. The largest on the driverside door. I am not a body guy, only nuts and bolts. It originally "is" an automatic car. "Original Miata shifter with neutral and shift lock out is working". Top is 2 years old and has never been folded down with the window not being unzipped. The parade boot is brand new and used twice. Tires are like new. ***Note****The roll bar is not real. If you would want to take this off the street and race it, the bar wont save your life. Street use looks, not race. Why the sale? I'm getting ready to retire from the automobile repair industry. I want to become self employed as full time watchmaker to service, restore and repair Rolex and other high grade chronograph watches. What you will get if you win this auction/sale......... (1) The car.(2) The original set of daisy wheels. (4)(3) A very rare 1986 Toyota W-58 Turbo 2wd 5 speed truck trans with 88k miles on it I personally tested, and know is excellent. If you would want to convert this car to a stick, it can be done. All the parts can be bought easily for a stick swap if you wanted too. ****See disclamer at the bottom of this auction for (#3) Above**** (4) A complete factory stock engine crossmember(5) A spare set of nice 97 Miata axles and 4.10 diff Any questions or photos needed, please ask. If you want my home phone number to talk personaly about the car, I encourage it, and will provide it to you. If you do decide to view the car in person by appointment and want to drive it, you must show me a valid drivers licence, and have money. No "joy drivers" with this particular car. Serious inquire only. (Reserve will not be disclosed) Watchmaking tools,benches, equipment or fine mechanical watches such as... Rolex 50th green bezel, Zenith Espada (original), Omega mechanical chronographs, Movado Astronic's and 1000 foot depth tested mechanical divers would only be considered for partial trades plus cash.

Back on September 8 2005, New Jersey DOT messed up the mileage during testing. I can assure you that the odometer in this car has not been tapered with, and that was a simple mistake made on their part.* Again..... any questions....... please inquire to get my home phone number. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yes guys, some of you made it clear...... What?........ "Automatic?" "How could you go through all that and not make it stick!" Sorry for being an auto sinner, as I was a purist at one time...BUT.... "The Truth Is".........I spent my whole life in the auto repair industry and......... (1) It was made an automatic for one main reason. "Emissions". Changing this to a stick will void its Emissions status. This drivetrain was Emissions certified for the automatic only in the United States. (2) If your not power mad........its 250 HP. It does not need more "Juice". Power was not the main focus with this swap. If you need more power, then the Chevy engine is the way to go. No doubt! The stock parts hold up better with an auto......"No driveline shock" ***Its why my car does not need all the re enforcement frame ties, huge rear, axles and so on.*** (3) ***The EPA in this country does not care how much more fun it would be to row gears*** Its purpose and design was street use and Emissons legality only. ********Check your Smog laws in your state before bidding.********** If you or your inspector has any questions, please email me or contact me by phone.
