Mint 1969 Shelby GT500 found under 40 years of dust

By Joe Mahan
Published March 25, 2014


From dust to dust, people and cars come and go, but sometimes the old is reborn … and out of the dust emerges something immaculate.
A 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 428 Cobra Jet is a mouthful to say but it will drop any car enthusiasts jaw. This particular garage-find was owned and perfectly preserved by a now-deceased automotive connoisseur.
Larry never washed the car for fear of scratching the paintjob or cause even the slightest bit of rust. Yahoo News estimates that the only time the car was ever washed was before delivery. Accordingly, the car is in absolute show room condition, except for a layer of dust.
This snake features a larger, 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, which has only run 8,500 miles in total. The spark plugs, belts, fan, and hoses are all original. The only items that are not from 1968 are the tires.
Considering this highly collectable GT500 has sat since 1973 it’s an extreme rarity. The Mustang was originally purchased for just $5,245 in 1969. Now, though,it should sell at auction for over $100,000.
The car will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneering on April 25th.
It also looks like pack-rat owner also owned a 1971 Ford Ranchero with only 53,000 miles on it, and get this … a 1974 Ford Econoline Custom 100 van with only 554 original miles. Both vehicles are for sale along with a variety of other mint, perfectly maintained vehicles from the estate.

That is what we firefighters call a "vertical lumberyard"... and those type of fires get very large very quickly, as fire grows art an exponential rate. All you can do is" surround and drown".

This has got to be bull**** and fake bidders. No way in hell anyone is stupid enough to pay that much for that POS. Its not worth 10K IMO.

Some sort of advertising scheme? Although I suppose it makes them look bad.

It's pretty pristine but fugly. Worst year. Weak *** little motor. Green interior. I could see it going for about $40k in full restored condition at one of the big auctions but I would never pay that for it. In fact it's not worth more than $5k to me.

You would have had to watched the show last night to understand just how bad it is. When you get time look through the pictures.

AlsCobra

I'm sure I will catch it on the repeat but it's a huge green turd from what I can see. Like when you eat a big green snowball.

Guess we know what Al's having for dinner.

Thousands of corndogs dumped on La. interstate
3.25.14
SHREVEPORT, La. -- Shreveport police say they had to deal with quite a mess Tuesday morning on Interstate 220, above Interstate 20, after a big rig driver dumped his entire load of corn dogs on the roadway.
Corporal Marcus Hines says Officer were called to the scene of the incident around 3:40 a.m., and traffic had to be diverted into late morning, while dump trucks were brought in to try to clear the interstate that was covered with thousands of Foster Farms corn dogs, said Shreveport Police Department Cpl. Marcus Hines.

Hines says police also had help from passing motorists.
"There were some reports that passersby were coming in and loading up on some of those corn dogs for dinner," said Hines. "It's been a big mess but a lot of folks will be eating pretty good this afternoon."
Hines says not only were the dogs dumped on the road but also a lot of ketchup and mustard.
"Everything you need to make a good corn dog was in the middle of the roadway," said Hines.
