For your restoration consideration!
Your first question is most likely, why are they selling all these Muscle Cars @ No Reserve? Good question, they are for sale!
It's really that simple, I could grind it out over several months, advertising them or dragging them to a physical auction, talking to tons of would be buyers, or list them here and collect the money within a few days! I have proved to myself that the No Reserve process works, so here you go!

The car is missing many of the important Shelby parts such as the:
fog lights, shoulder harness, spare tire, two warning lights below dash, air pollution device, and snorkel. Please study the pictures carefully, there are plenty to look at.
It does have new Cooper Cobra tires on Keystone aftermarket rims, the original rims are included, (check out the pictures).
More bad yet realistic news! The vehicle did sustain a front end collision (left side) sometime in the past, if you study the pictures you can tell by looking at the left inner shock tower. It is interesting though that I believe most of the car is still original paint. You also may have noticed the rust underneath, it is really not that bad, everything is very solid and there are no signs of previous repair or holes.
This is certainly not a show car, however, a full restoration would easily make this car worth $100,000 plus!
The question of the hour would then be, can I buy a Drivable GT 500 Drag Pack car anywhere else @ No Reserve
If you live in Florida we will collect sales tax.
