I am the original owner and still owner of a 1970 GT 500. I was at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago and talked to Ed Meyer. A wealth of info was to be had. One thing about the resto he was showing that day was the 2 plates on the upper inner door. I asked him why they were body color? He said they were laid on the Cowl during paint. Then when assembled they had unpainted bolts. He told me that you could tell because a paint overspray was on the cowl. Sure enuff when it came time to repaint and disassemble mine, there was the proof on the cowl. I noticed on this car that it had those plates and they were either plated or painted silver? Why the discrepancy? He even told me why the trunk light wires had overspray on them.

Good looking car with lots of extras. Interesting story about the lug nuts in the bag

The level and detail of knowledge the guys have clearly take things to a whole new level.

I see that this costs more than a new GT500

This car is incredible and someone got a great buy, it is nearly a perfect example of a 70 and a Super Cobra Jet at that.

Crazy to know the 428 put out 335 hp and was considered huge horsepower then, my 2011GT has 415 HP right out the door.

@suffolkmike1 Ай бұрын

Actual horsepower is 410-420

After looking at all the 428CJ-SCJ cars at the past Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas all but two of them were missing the rev limiters. This one is missing it also. Don't they make reproduction non-functional units? Thought I saw them many years ago. Was any 1970 Shelby's made out of actual 1970 cars?

@suffolkmike1 Ай бұрын

Nope. They were all leftover 69s because Shelby ended the contract with Ford in 1969. That's why they sent these to Car Craft to have them modified as 70 models.
