the 65 mustang gt 350 barn car was definitely messed with. The motor has a fresh coat of paint on the motor. So much for the story book?

I'm pretty sure that tha announcers said the guy pulled the engine a lot of years ago to rebuild it. He never got around to it until just recentley. The engine was rebuilt, re-installed in the car, then sold. So it was reported the engine was the only thing fresh on the car.

i didnt hear any comments to that effect. they said fresh barn car.Then 1 announcer said it look like the engine was just painted. I mean i dont care but????

I asked before, but besides the VIN plate, is there a single part on this &quot;ZL-1&quot; that is from the original car ?

In my opinion, if nothing is original besides the VIN, this car went for way too much money. Maybe I'm still living in the past or because I don't have a money tree in the back yard....

Why not ask George privately through a PM or an email?. It would seem that he should be the best person to answer your question with the most accuracy.

Asking that question on a public forum is like asking the public if JFK's assassination was a conspiracy.

Since George brought up the issue with this on this public forum, I don't see the problem in participating in the discussion of this car along with the multiple other posts.

I think he means that George would be the one most knowledgable about answering your specific questions....
... and you could an honest answer from him. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

The motor was rebuilt by the original owner and I am sure it will scream. I used to look at that car in the back of the shop when the original owner had it up in Fresno California back in the 80s. Whom ever bought that 65 Shelby paid good money for a great car that allot of people wanted and knew about in the area. There was a boss 429 Mustang with 9000 miles that was stored in the same shop for years also.
