1969 Shelby GT500 Description

This is a genuine Shelby listed in registry #0212. Documented with Marti report, Shelby invoice and Shelby order form. Very honest 85,000 mile car. From a collection of Shelbys that haven't been available to the public in many years.
EXTERIOR: Acapulco blue, in my opinion the best color to have. It's a really good looking older restoration. The body is very clean. It is straight, panels fit really well. No rust, its smooth along the bottom. The paint job is over 20 years old and looks great. Very glossy. You walk up to it and say it's show car but if you inspect it there are some minor flaws. The Shelby wheels are in pristine condition, BFGoodrich tires look new. Upfront i s unique to Shelby. It has it's own grill, Lucas fog lamps, fiberglass hood and fenders are longer. On each side it has reflective stripes, scoops, sport mirrors and Cobra emblems. In back ot has window sport slats, fiberglass trunk and 1/4 extensions with dovetail. It features taillights Shelby took from a 65 Thunderbird. Also has unique aluminum exhaust outlet in the middle where the license plate would be on a Mustang. Has very nice trim, glass, door jambs, weatherstrips etc.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean, new mat. Has collapsible spare with the correct jack and even the felt pad. Has the cardboard panels over tail light housings. Because it has a fold down seat, there is a door that opens up into the interior. Bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb is painted gloss blue. Has the decals, weather strip is soft.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
