    I am looking for a 1967 GT500 in excellent shape. Ideal vehicle would be a accident free 4-speed with matching #'s throughout. Preferably Blue with White stripes, or White with Blue stripes. Low mileage a plus. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in selling such a vehicle, please contact me through the forum.

    For the perfect vehicle, I am flexible, but would think that the target should be in the area of $130k to $160k?

    To Rsimpkins, mrmustang and ceswert:

    Thank you all very much for your assistance. I have been to each of those sights (as well as many others) to review their vehicles, and haven't yet seen what I am looking for. Very few '67's around in excellent shape. While I expect that the market will continue churning these cars, I have found a couple in very nice condition, but too expensive (in my opinion, in today's market), along with a couple of real nice potentials, but with the wrong engines.

    Does anyone know how difficult it would be to find a correct 1967 "date stamped" engine, and would it be fair to assume that the current transmission would be incorrect, assuming I was able to locate one, as well (effectively, defeating the purpose? I certainly wasn't planning to restore one of these beauty's, and would prefer to buy one all ready to to drive/store, but that may be the way to go? I am not the least bit handy, so I would need to contract this out to a very experienced Shelby restoration shop. Would be interested to know how much it would cost for a concourse restoration job, if anyone has been through it before.

    That is why I told you to call them, as not everything is listed on their web sites. if your serious about buying a car, then a few minutes on the phone with Brett and Bill would not be out of the question.
